Suddenly you need to have answers for everything. I found that improving my skills and knowledge early on – in particular, through courses such as the LMA Diploma in Football Management – was very important. Understanding how to problem solve, manage upwards, read a balance sheet, deal with cash flow, and attend board meetings were all skills that I couldn’t have done without when I started.” TESTIMONIAL CHRIS POWELL TESTIMONIAL “For any coach or manager in the professional game, the STUART PEARCE LMA courses are a must.
