Net World Sports proudly sponsored this year’s FAW National Coaches Conference, a fantastic event held in Newport over the weekend of May 27th and 28th. This highly anticipated annual conference gathered esteemed and knowledgeable coaches from across the globe to Celtic Manor to engage in enlightening discussions on a range of coaching topics, as well as delivering insightful practical sessions.
This year the speakers included the illustrious Carlo Ancelotti, renowned for his tenure at top clubs such as AC Milan, A.S Roma, the Italy National Team and Real Madrid where he currently serves. Ancelotti was joined by Rob Page, Manager of the Wales Men’s National Team, and Warren Gatland, Head Coach of the Welsh Rugby Union. Each speaker offered invaluable insight into their coaching strategies and tactics, enriching the audience’s knowledge and understanding.
The practical sessions took place at Dragon Park, a facility equipped with our FORZA products, including our ALU110 goals. These sessions were expertly led by accomplished coaches, such as Gemma Grainger, Manager of the Wales Women’s National Team, Mile Jedinak, a Development Coach at Aston Villa, and Dave Hughes, a Professional Development Coach at Manchester United. Participants and observers alike had the privilege of first-hand experience in dynamic coaching sessions, focusing on essential aspects of both attacking and defending scenarios.
