Sammy is a niche coach that specialises in substitutions and currently works as a consultant for a number of professional clubs.His first big opportunity came at AFC Wimbledon after reaching out the the (then) set piece coach, Andy Parslow (since moved onto Swansea who has also featured on this channel). Sammy has a great energy and talks us through what a substitution coach actually does and tells us why every club would benefit from utilising one and focussing more energy in that area. Another thing to note is that Sammy is a perfect example of how networking and hard waork can lead the the opportunity that you want!At the end of the conversation, Sammy recommends 3 books he has recently read and enjoyed which are linked here:Clive Woodward, How to win - https://amzn.to/3m6VeEDNumbers Game - https://amzn.to/3kvjYG9Phil Jackson, 11 Rings - https://amzn.to/3EBhsVG I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did, and don't forget to subscribe!◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Introduction1:15 - Sammy joins and gives background4:28 - What does a substitution coach actually do?6:53 - Sams lightbulb moment9:40 - Networking at getting an opportunity at AFC Wimbledon14:11 - The psychological aspect of being a sub18:11 - The impacts Sammy can bring20:44 - Do more subs mean more impact?23:40 - Analysis of subs, and other 'niche' football roles30:04 - Pitching to clubs and long term goals33:09 - Sammy gives some advice38:02 - Book/Podcast Recommendation40:18 - Supporting managers, Quick Fire Round & Wrap Up◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️CONNECT WITH ME🌎 Website: https://www.chris-gill.com 👨🏼‍💻 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisgilluk/ 🎙️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5ZocCdjxjdVJZjO4UNNNew 🆇 X/Twitter: https://x.com/chrisgill_UK FREE RESOURCES📋 Football CV Template – https://cvtemplate.chris-gill.com/download 📝 Cover Letter Template - https://coverletter.chris-gill.com/download 📚 Ultimate list of sports analysis/coaching books - https://books.chris-gill.com/download PAID RESOURCES🐍 Learn PYTHON for football analysis – https://courses.mckayjohns.com/courses/football-analytics-course?ref=3f7c5c ⚽️ Football Analysis Education (Gill10 for 10% off) – https://apfa.io/course/ref/chrisgill_UK/ 📊 Become a data analyst with Data Camp: https://datacamp.pxf.io/WqBZGA
