Presentation by Andy Roxburgh UEFA Technical Director

XXVIII UEFT Symposium 15 – 19 September 2007

Helsinki THE ROLE OF THE COACH

Lessons from the top

The following profile is a composition made by the AAFF:

1. We selected all football coaches’ Andy Roxburgh shows us in his demonstrations.

2. We arranged in a table, in order of the first “professional common sense”;

3. We evaluate all of them with the maximum mark (10). As international football coaches role models.

4. In the Observation we made some appreciations, as we can see from outside. It’s just a point of view, evaluate at the maximum professional value.

5. You can give them other marks, as you want and describe as you know them (this is just a professional individual exercise.)

Try to do the same with your fellow coaches and even with football players, helping them to understand the top coaches’ personalities.
