Hey everyone,

Clip of the week here from a coach who consistently produces so much useful content.

We love this one because it’s dual purpose….

Firstly: it’s a direct message to the parents that interfere at games and training.

Parents who are guilty of this behaviour will hopefully get the message if they see this.

But also…

It’s a masterclass for coaches on how to deliver this intervention. 👏 

It’s hard to zip it all of the time. 🤐 

But it’s a fundamental that’s beautifully explained here.

Right, let's keep going… 👇️

RAISING THE LEVELS

BEDTIME STORIES
🔈️ Listen to the Aniballers Christmas Bedtime Story

This week we’re dropping a Christmas Story - giving you and your child a cosy, football-flavoured festive adventure to enjoy together at bedtime.

It blends snowball battles, friendship, and a touch of true Christmas magic to help kids feel wonder, warmth, and resilience.

If you want a fun, calming way to bring the spirit of the season into your child’s night-time routine, we’d love it if you had a listen...

No guarantees - but maybe this is the little thing your routine needs to get them settled! 🤞 

🔈️ Listen on Spotify.

⭐️ If your child enjoys it, please leave a 5‑star review, comment, or share with a friend - it really helps more families find us.
