@JohnTerry26 thank you for looking after my little girl and Nanny and the the rest of the team today. What an amazing role model you are. She’s buzzing. I can’t wait to hear all about it. 🙏🏻

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

Really can’t wait to start delivering our new framework to the players. I’m pretty sure we are unique in our field. 11’s to 18’s we now have something that we can deliver across the age groups to ensure continuity for a long future in the game. @sussexgirlsRTC

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

Excited about our development programme for next year. We will now focus on the player and their pathway through to pro football or College. Our philosophy is in place, we are now so much more than matches and training. @sussexgirlsRTC

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

Simple question put to me about competitiveness.
Q. How do you measure success?
By producing talented footballers.

Why you should consider the JPL and joining an RTC.
This is a major opportunity if you want your player to progress in football. One you will struggle to find anywhere else.
If you are dedicated then we look forward to seeing you soon. @sussexgirlsRTC

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

I absolutely love talking to parents and players discussing plans for their futures. It’s a great opportunity to find out their future goals so we can work on their goals. #itsanRTCthing @sussexgirlsRTC

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

@Don_K_Williams Only a strong physical and technical program breeds success, here in the uk I’d have our squads in 3 nights a week if I could. In US my lad is up at 5AM every morning for training before studies & in the gym PM for S&C. You cannot rest if you want to be the best 🤜⚽️.

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

@Don_K_Williams Could not agree more

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

@Don_K_Williams Something we work on meticulously in the @sussexgirlsRTC is how to receive with confidence on to the players side so they can break in to the final third, how to take on the turn and how to take without even taking a touch with emphasis on retaining possession.

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

@Keepitonthedeck Perfect

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

@Don_K_Williams I would be positive, for a nation who does not have a massive history of soccer, it’s doing pretty well considering it’s performance at M and F World Cups. It’s only going to improve on both fronts. It’s better than any thing we have in the UK for University.

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

@Don_K_Williams Can’t win until You learn why you lose. Don’t succeed or improve unless you play against better players

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

@Don_K_Williams All over that Don, we were playing a system at the weekend and it wasn’t working, standing there thinking change to 3-5-2. Half time players came off begging to change to 3-5-2. We did we played better, #weareonenotme learn all the time. Thanks for the post.

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

I had the pleasure of taking @sussexgirlsrtc to play @wellingunited on Saturday, a really great afternoon of football played in the right way with development at the centre. Pleasure chatting with coaches and parents wish it had a been a little warmer😂

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

@Don_K_Williams At our RTC we spend many hours explaining to parents, that the match result is not the priority, it’s the development of the player. You learn nothing in low ability sport, you learn more and become better by playing with better players, in more challenging environments.

[Alex Willis @RTCCOACH]

So one of our teams has its first win at the weekend.
@sussexjplrtc hardwork pays off well done to coaches players and parents we are one.
