Fulham to me are a small club that just keeps fighting in the premier league and definitely have one of the more solid squads in the Premier League and a different sort of togetherness unlike other teams. My only problem with Fulham this year is that the lack of quality compared to other teams around. Martin Jol also to me is a very risky and strange appointment as a manager as the only other experience in the Premier League was a stint at Tottenham Hotspur. A definitely strange appointment there. I would say though that Fulham have a mental toughness that other teams don't have in the Premier League which has persuaded players such as Schwazer and Hangeland to stay. A solid season I can see coming up for Fulham.

This blog will also transcend into delivering feedback to young players and how we can incorporate challenges into this which is stuff I learnt and experienced last year. It's important to remember that what we say and how we say it can have a strong impact on a players social and psychological development. So full consideration should be given to every piece of knowledge we impart on children, this way each session can maximise effectiveness. However, many coaches have seen other coaches, parents, players teammates consistently put youn...
