FA Coaching Badges

[Kevin Mirallas]

I am thinking about starting a career in football whether it be coaching or being a scout. Something along the lines of that.

I have seen that FA do badges (Level 1, 2 and 3 aswell as UEFA license).
Has anyone done them? I seen on thread on RAWK about them and people where saying you need a lot of confidence. I don't have that sadly but surely this would help me develop it?
Its basically 200quid for the Level 1 as I need to do the first aid course beforehand, do people (who have done it) think you need a lot of confidence to do Level 1?

Any advice would be appreciated aswell.

Note: I did make a thread about these a while back but I went to page 15 and couldn't be arsed looking for it.

You might say that I need confidence in Level 2 but I am working on my confidence literally every day and its getting there!
Any advice would be appreciated aswell.

That last sentance is a bit weird.

I'm sure someone on here could help though.

Hello mate, I am a UEFA C badge at the minute and working towards my B licence, it's not easy, but if you have a passion for football and getting into football at a professional level then you will succeed. Confidence will grow as a result of learning, pay attention to everything and don't shirk anything that can help you further. There is a route to a UEFA pro badge, but it's a difficult one, starting with your level 1 FA is the only way, I say go for it pal!

My Uncle in law was a scout, I'd ask him how it got into it but he is six feet under now.
