About this listen

In this episode, I am grateful to be joined by currently the only female Academy Manager in the Men's game. Louisa Collis, the Academy Manager of Birmingham City Football Club, tells me on Episode 10 of my Podcast. About her journey from netball to becoming an academy manager in football, breaking barriers as a female leader in a male-dominated industry.

She discusses the challenges and triumphs of achieving Category One status for the Birmingham City academy, emphasizing the importance of balancing player development with competitive results.

Louisa highlights the significance of education, nutrition, and resilience in shaping young athletes, while also addressing the complexities of parent relationships and the impact of social media. Her passion for the academy and commitment to nurturing exceptional individuals shines through as she outlines future aspirations for growth and success.
