Rob talks to one of Scotland's most successful player/managers, Ed Wolecki Black, former manager of Glasgow City, Airedrieonians, and Celtic Women, about his life in the game and his most valuable insights as a coach, as well as the many victories and challenges he has faced over his vast and varied career.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A good coach is one who accepts the wisdom of those who teach, and who instils a sense of respect in those who learn.
- Preparation is a long term game. Fans think that the work only begins shortly before a match, but the great coaches know that growth is a long term pursuit.
- Football is a game, and a passion, that transcends the barrier of sex. Women's football is as thrilling and as passionate as men's, and Ed is a pioneer in making sure that it is as recognised as its counterpart.
- Trophies are the aim for the club itself, but when we as coaches look back upon our careers, it is the people and the moments of inspiration that we treasure.
BEST MOMENTS
'The papers summed it up as “The Tom And Jerry Show”!'
‘I'm a lucky guy. I've had success wherever I've gone. but it's always down to players'
‘It's not about the trophies. It's about the people'
'This guy has got lessons to teach us, and they are loud and clear'
