Working with Elche CF and UKLC was the first opportunity I have had to work with a professional football club. When I was told about this opportunity, it sounded too good to be true, especially for it to be what it was, however after the 2 weeks I spent in Spain, it was everything I had hoped it would be. As an aspiring professional coach, UKLC gave me an opportunity that I doubt any other company could offer. I was able to learn from the club, coaches, players and even from my coaching peers over the 2 weeks and it turned out to be an invaluable experience, whilst also interacting with the locals. I would strongly recommend this to anyone, not just to benefit your coaching knowledge but to see how a football club conducts itself on a day-to-day basis. To top it off, I was also able to coach a youth academy team and watch them play, it’s a different culture to the one I am used to in England, but again it’s an important learning curve for any coach. I would like to thank Adam & Jack for their assistance throughout the 2 weeks, they helped make it a fun & enjoyable experience with plenty to do throughout the stay.
