Matchday 11- David Mayer, author, podcaster, coach

We talk to David Mayer, author and podcaster, about his playing career with Blackburn and Wigan and then two different Division One colleges, the injuries that ended his career and why he become inspired to give back to the game.
We examine the difference between coaching systems in the UK and the US, the extraordinary facilities at colleges in the US and the different routes American players have taken to reach the top of the game in Europe.
David talks about the advantages and disadvantages of the pay-to-play system in the US, tells us the three biggest learnings he's had from interviewing sports leaders on his podcast and how Wycombe Wanderers have built such a strong team ethic.
A thoughtful and insightful interview from one of the increasingly strong voices in the coaching community.
