Episode Details

Rhys Carr has had an illustrious career in the game already. Working his way up from academy football all the way to first team individual specialist at some of the biggest clubs in the Championship and beyond — Swansea, Sheffield United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bristol City and most recently Coventry City. At Coventry he was supporting first team players with their individual needs — and when the manager got sacked, Rhys stepped in as caretaker manager. That tells you everything about the respect he’s earned in the game. This is a fascinating conversation about what it really takes to develop players at the highest level, what first team players actually need from individual coaching, and what the journey from academy specialist to first team looks like from the inside. If you’re serious about individual development and building a career in coaching — this one is not to be missed.
