Frank Lampard - I Was The RESULT Of My Dad's Project Lampard | Project Footballer

Amazing. I always wondered if the modern system would ever allow a Frank Lampard to get through, he is the product of hard work but was a slow player, the speed he got to was through hard work that results didnt show till much later on. they are cutting players way too quickly if they dont have speed I think this will effect any future Lampards, Fabregas even Pirlos perhaps their roles will no longer exist

After 25 years of Coaching, i coached both my Sons. It was the hardest thing i did in Coaching. At about the age of 10-12 years you must let them go, and have dif experiences and become a parent. (You can still offer advice, but calmly and timing is critical). Be calm before and after games, but learn to be a parent, it takes completely different skills. Your child needs and normally will develop independent personality at about 9-12 years and if you do not disconnect your relationship will suffer. Become the parent (or Guardian) and support, help and encourage your child to be their best.

Merse gets straight to the point I love it

Jamie makes an amazing point at 1h11mins. Such a fine line of knowing how much to push them and how much to let them want to do it themselves. This has been amazing so far, looking forward to watching the rest tomorrow 🙌

EPIC INTRO! can't wait to see it all!

The key message in here is what is the role of the parent. Most parents don’t know the game well enough and can actually get in the way of the kids success. Better for parents to be supporters than do the coaches job.

Merc, i agree about Joe Cole. I watched him a few times when he was young and was amazed he was not schooled as an England Centre midfielder. This is in stark contrast to Barcelona and Spain nursing and schooling Andres Aniesta for Spain and Barcelona.m to become a World Class Midfielder. It is noted in his Biography that he was not immediately a CM and struggled, he had to learn and develop positional specific skills to play CM

Great episode! Everyone talks about his Dad pushing him but from this I got that Frank was so dedicated from a young age to improve and was consistent into his pro years

Was funny around @29:00 when Jamie tries to play down any talk of nepotism and Frank basically says he probably wouldn’t have made it had his dad not been a pushy ex footballer. Of course frank ended up an amazing player, but a lot of us who went through academy systems know a lot of people with amazing potential who didn’t get picked up because they didn’t impress on first impression or didn’t have anyone fighting in their corner behind closed doors

New listener here (US). Love hearing about how football is experienced in England. Amazing episode. We are in the rat race of American club soccer and the discussion around pulling your kid out of academy and into recreational/grassroots soccer hit home. It’s easy to forget that the #1 goal should be for the child to love the game, instead of chasing Instagram moments. Would love more episodes like these!

Just caught this and thoroughly enjoyed the insights and advice provided by all, including from my all-time favourite - Frank. As a coach for a young team, there were some great perspectives shared here that will help guide my coaching journey. Keep up the top work.

Stunning ! Love you Super Frank. Here’s a thing … can we all agree it’s okay to not be a great footballer and as a kid being a part of team is worth its weight in gold ❤

What a watch and a great insight for a dad who coaches his sons team!! Some great points 👏🏻

Parents; Between the age of 5-12 years, i think all children occasionally need a push and encouragement to be told they need to do something if they have made a commitment to a club or team(exceptions are Sickness and injury). But, it is so important to play sports that children enjoy and to build good habits not just for sports, but lessons for life…

Amazing episode 🎉 great value and packed with lots of golden nuggets

Wow, what an episode, please do more of these with Premier League footballers and having more than 1 of them on the podcast is such a good idea. 150k views is all you need to know, can't wait for the next one

Just finished watching. Amazing. Thanks for the colab. And yes please part 3 with K. My boy Nathan adores him a lot. We would be looking forward to it. Thanks so much for the good work. One day you will have Nathan in when it's time. For now we keep working. ❤

Fantastic episode. Really interesting to hear all of them talk about the formative years & youth football.

Great episode and very interesting! The only thing I would have for Perry is what happens if he doesn’t make it at football? Not saying he isn’t good enough but injury or anything could happen down the road. What is the plan then?

Great episode. Frank is very articulate and Jamie also helps to tease things out and get the full background
