At some point in a footballer's career they ponder life after football. For some remaining in the game is of little interest while for others remaining involved is the end goal; 15years as a player but a lifetime as a coach perhaps!

So becoming a coach is something that even as a young professional players are given the opportunity to experience. And as the twilight of the career approaches, the first tentative steps are made into the world of coaching!

For many the first toe in the water as a player-coach can be filled with dread. Organising and delivering to your peers can leave even the most confident leader and confident pro quivvering. The dry mouth, the sweaty palms and the awkward search for their first coaching voice.

Its a well worn path but there is no shortcut; time on task and doing the hard yards is vital if you wish to make a success of your coaching career wether your goal is to become a top-class coach working at the first team level or your passion is to develop the players of tomorrow!

Join us as we take you through the journey when your move from player to coach and cross the rubicon!

A year ago we launched the first Breaking Lines Episode! 12 months later and 41 episoes in, we look back at how the years gone.

From the 1st episode we recorded (and edited... a lot) in a studio in Canary Wharf through to the interview series, Whistleblowers and moving to video, we learned a lot along the way!

And we've been finger on the pulse too... with our predictions of many things which have come to pass over the last year; from referee attacks to media interviews live in game!

So join us on a trip down memory lane where we look at hoe Breaking Lines went from balcony idea to being listend too in over 50 countries globally and is a favourite pod amongst some of football's glitterati (well the odd referee and coach) as well as fans!
