• Coaches Trip Welsh Football Trust PSV Eindhoven

  10 coaches of the Welsh Football Trust were visiting PSV Eindhoven on a study trip from 12-19 March. They were visiting PSV’s training ground the Herdgang and were able to attend all kind of  training sessions and meeting people from different disciplines, e.g., technique training sessions from the youngest age groups and training sessions of the first team lead by the new management team of Philip Cocu and Ernst Faber. Highlight of their visit of PSV was absolutely the 30 min Q and A with assistant manager Ernst Faber of the first team.

  To compare the organisation and structure of PSV Eindhoven they also visited FC Eindhoven, the ‘first division’ club of the same city. Watching the first team training and having a presentation of new appointed first team manager Pascal Maas was very useful.

  They also visited one of the local grassroots clubs Geldrop during a training night of the youth. Youth Coordinator Adrie Meeuwsen guided them trough the youth set up which was similar in organisation and not to far of the level of PSV Eindhoven.

  Richard Gunney, of the Welsh Football Trust said:
  "..On reflection, the trip was a fantastic experience and one of great value. The hospitality and generosity of the clubs, coaches, staff and everyone involved was excellent. The schedule and access provided was of an excellent standard meaning a great deal of positive information could be utilized and communicated back in our country"
