Episode Notes

This is the second part of Jason’s interview with Dan Neville, Technical Director of the British Virgin Islands FA.

They continue the interview talking about non-league management and levelling up in Dan's second season in charge of the club.

Dan explains how a chance meeting led him to connect with the British Virgin Islands FA and deliver some coaching to the Islands players.

Through that he progressed to assist with the National Team coaching before taking the national Technical Director position.

Now he is tasked with developing the entire infrastructure of football development across the country as the BVI national team prepare for a World Cup qualifying campaign.

Here are 3 things you’ll learn in this episode:

  1. What are the key aspects of developing a national program, building up from grassroots
  2. Why it’s important to not assume things of your players
  3. How to measure team performance by looking beyond match results
