Episode 2: Jackie Bushell

In Episode 2, we host Jackie Bushell, currently Academy Operations & Head of Education at MK Dons FC Academy. In the episode, we delve into Jackie’s journey, her experiences of teaching and coach education, her amazing research into the development of the teenage brain, and the challenges she has faced in building a career as a female in a male dominated industry. We promised our podcast would be diverse and challenge the status quo, so join us for an open and honest discussion. 

Jackie has over 30 years experience of teaching, coaching and mentoring. Jackie is a UEFA A Licence Coach and worked at the Football Association for 17 years before moving into her role at MK Dons in 2020.
