Ali Speechly: Talking coaching on and off the pitch

On today’s podcast, Oli was lucky enough to talk to Ali Speechly, UEFA B licensed football coach and all-around superstar.

Ali is well known online for her advocacy of female involvement in football, and also suffers a long-term Tottenham affliction, from which Oli also suffers. What an inspiration Ali is!

On this week’s podcast, Oli and Ali talk about:

Intro - career and life in general
Why football?
Coaching career - setting the scene
Pathways - do they exist for women in football?
What's harder to achieve - women coaching regularly at the local level or a national level?
What have you got from coaching that you bring into your everyday life?
Do you believe in/advocate for coaching outside of the sporting environment?
What do you want to see the other way around? What commonplace things in normal working life would translate well into sport?
