Coaches' Coffee Club - FA's Ryan Davies on PE in Primary Schools

October’s episode of the Coaches’ Coffee Club is out now, featuring FA Physical Education & Coaching in Education Coordinator, Ryan Davies.

Foundation of Light coaches Jack Gray and Jake Hannah host Ryan Davies to discuss all things Physical Education in Primary Schools.

From his brief professional football career in Australia, which proved to be a stepping stone to the start of his journey in PE teaching, to his current work with the Football Association, Ryan Davies shares useful anecdotes, insight, and advice from his career.

On what a successful session looks like to him, Ryan said: “For me, what makes a high-quality PE session is if every child leaves that lesson, and they already can’t wait for the next one.

“For me, that’s success.”
