MITCH STEVENS'
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Passionate and modern youth development Coach
Certified since 2001 and having been involved at many levels of competitive and development football.
I realised a more nurturing approach to developing competitive footballers was required for boys wanting to reach their full potential.
As sport should primarily be played for pleasure gained from individual growth, positive experiences and for developing healthy and balanced individuals. I developed a method that doesn't allow the result of the competition to be the measure of success but rather the individual's key factors of performance demonstrated during training and competition.
​
The methodology is supported by the latest in football Coaching technology, PLAYERMAKER Smart tec. Technical, tactical and physical data creates an informed, self-motivated player and an environment conducive to learning, without confusion or unrealistic expectations.
​
With the extensive contact time with each individual and a flexible academic environment in which to operate.
at ESCA Wanderers Illovo, the daily morning training sessions allow the Coaches to maximise essential contact time.
​
So are we result driven?
Yes, but we deliver positive and tangible results, results based on holistic football development, personal growth, relative to each individual's personal abilities.
