*With FM14 just a few weeks away, and the beta hopefully coming out on Thursday, I am going to start my new story for FM14*
As I sat in front of my PC, I couldnt help by this that Football Manager 2014 is just weeks away from being released. I knew that once it comes out, my already barely existing life will be over. I would be off "sick" from work for weeks, my desk would be surrounded by energy drinks and crisp packets and I would be going ages without a shower. It got me thinking though, I wonder if I could ever become a football manager? I dismissed the thought fairly quickly as I knew the chances of this were almost zero. How wrong I was though.
Every Monday and Friday, I take part in footballing sessions run by Albion in the community, an excellent scheme run by Brighton and Hove Albion to get younger people out and playing football. After the game, (in which I scored 5 goals) Slider, the organizer, called everyone over.
"As you know guys, we like to offer you lots of different types of sports courses" He said. "We are now able to offer anyone who wants one a free coaching course. Anyone who would like to join in please raise your hand."
Obviously my hand shot straight up. I looked around me, and I was surprised that only 2 other people had put their hands up too! This could be the perfect opportunity for me to start my footballing dream. Slider pulled us all to one side and told us some more. The course started in one weeks, and consisted of two three hour footballing sessions. I was so excited, I could not wait.
The week passed quickly, and I was booted up and ready for the course. It was surprisingly easy if i am honest. There was a little bit of theory work, and the rest was coaching some young lads. Simple as. The course leader told me I was very good, and that I had a future in coaching.
At the end of the course I was awarded a level 1 coaching certificate. If im honest, it wasnt really worth much, but it was something. Who knows, maybe I could get lucky and find a job in management straight away. Only time will tell.
