Coaching has
many dimensions.

Football can have a strong impact on people, on and off the field. We want to help change how coaches around the world teach the game. Sharing Goals is a coaching manual that covers every aspect of player development. It puts emotional and social competencies where they belong: as the foundation for better technical, physical, cognitive and tactical performance.

Published by Football for Worldwide Unity e.V. — football coaching education since 2010.

What the manual is

Performance and personality belong together.

A practical framework for football coaching. It combines technical, tactical and physical training with the deliberate development of emotional and social competencies, with age-specific learning objectives and activities that fit into your regular training sessions.
