Ali Speechly - Coaching in Football and in Life

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?

  • Favourite Dog
