As a parent and a coach running a youth sports club this was such a valuable resource. It's so easy to have the right goals of high performance but let your methods slip to focusing on winning & results and end up with a harsh, unenjoyable culture. Showing that one of the biggest & most successful (despite the last decade!) sports clubs on earth can think and act like this with their young players really gives other youth institutions no excuse. This will become required watching for every coach who works for our organization - thank you!

This was such a good Podcast so many parents in general need to watch this! keep up the amazing product to all involved. Nick Cox great interview.

This man looks and speaks and behaves like one of the boys from 'jobs for the boys' that Roy spoke about. The staff at United needs an external investigation!

[@enffootballlab2022]

Really fascinating, eye opening and thought provoking. I used some of the advice in real life as well as in coaching. Thanks for bringing such an amazing guest who’s experienced and an expert in their field. Almost makes me want to be a Manchester United fan🤣

[@fundisto1033]

Would have been great to get an intro on who the guest is, their role at United etc. before diving in

[@zenpatriarch-1818]

Worst possible timing 😂

[@_Tricky_]

Actually. The best possible timing. Think about it.

[@dereckmarwa2993]

@@_Tricky_ Spot on. This gives me confidence that the foundation is still solid at United, even when everything else is a mess.

Back here after the League Cup win!

[@aransingh9140]

If only Jake Humphries wasn't on this podcast it'd be perfect!

[@manavsandhu584]

Ironic that this video comes out on the same day it's reported we want to get rid of James Garner for Adrien Rabiot

[@jasonmfalconer]

Great watch 👌

[@flavasava2008]

[@TariqAmazin]

[@rohitrevankar7674]

Thank you for your righteous podcast during this despicable climate in Manchester.

[@azalikmar2]

Must be talking about the light coming through the holes in the Old Trafford roof…

[@Marteenez_]

The mics are way too sensitive

[@seangreen8023]

Bright ha ha ha good luck with that brother 😂

[@RaghavK06]

If only we could get the senior team of Man Utd to embody B.A.T.O.N.

[@nickcaesar5833]

After Marcus Rashfords interview talking about his head space maybe they are getting better at it.

[@darrenflanagan8553]

This release date was perfect cause just shows how little he knows about whats actually going on at Man utd basically talked rubbish.

[@mnb9162]

Man Itd 1st team and Man Utd Academy are two different jurisdictions..... The Academy at Man utd is flying....

[@jamesfagan7823]

The championship and nothing for 40 years its over

[@pat5196]

[@colinmilligan5860]

This man spent 12 years at Watford as youth management and coach and also 7 years at Sheffield United. He had absolutely no history with man United so I think your comment is very narrow minded

[@mnb9162]

Sounds like you are an ignorant hater that is clueless on what Academy football is
