There are a lot of people who get into coaching because their own playing career came to an end. For many, however, that end was forced either through injury or else through age. Few actually stop playing because they are disillusioned with the game only to see in coaching a possibility of a kind of redemption.
Joe Smith falls into that latter group. A creative player, he admits that from a young age he had that creative aspect ‘coached’ out of him to the extent that he eventually decided to stop playing. However, he eventually took up coaching seeing this as an opportunity to avoid having other suffer the same experiences as him, making creativity very much at the core of his football blueprint.
