| Carl Maynard “Unfortunately there seems to be a rise in the levels of inappropriate and aggressive behaviour towards officials and incredibly, junior and youth players. I believe the Respect program will help to raise awareness about the damage that is caused by such behaviour” |
Place of Birth | London, UK |
Current Football Position | Assistant Coach of Premier League club Raiders |
Involvement in Football | Been involved for 34 years as a player, coach and also a scout for professional clubs. Playing career went as far as Luton Town as a youth and then onto 'Non-League' football as an adult. Has been involved in every facet of the game as a coach including Juniors, youth, women's and men's football |
First Coaching Appointment | Sundon Park Rangers, an under 13 team in Luton |
Most Memorable Coaching Moment | Most memorable coaching moment to-date is with Metro United Women’s Football Club in defeating the unbeaten Sturt Marion 2-1. It wasn't the result that was memorable but the reaction of the players when the final whistle went, they could not believe they had won the game |
What is important when Coaching? | Emphasis is on the quality of football that the team is producing. Playing an attractive brand of football. |
What are your goals in Football? | To work in a club environment that is as professional as possible in a semi-professional league. To be involved in an academy that specifically targets disadvantaged / problem youths. While this may not provide the glory of winning cups and championships, the personal satisfaction would be extremely rewarding. |
