Monthly newsletter - March 2023
Hola,
(That’s about as far as I’ve got on my Duolingo Spanish journey.)
Welcome to the March edition of my newsletter, reflecting on what’s happened this month as well as my thoughts about the premier league.
All of these newsletters, plus more posts including things like drills and more technical things to improve your game, can be read on my website here.
Winter is here, weather you like it or not
It’s snow joke! OK I’ll stop with the terrible puns now, but the snow and cold weather caught me off guard this month, just as I was looking forward to Spring. While it’s been a lot colder than I was expecting, football is of course a winter sport so no matter what the weather is like - I try to just get on with it, which I know is easier said than done!
Easter training camps
Back by popular demand, we are running two camps over Easter school holidays. Each camp is open to anyone aged 7-16 and is a fun and challenging way to spend the holidays. All players will develop their football skills, keep fit and have fun with friends.
We have over 10 years experience running football camps, including running camps for YouTuber Eman SV2 and YouTube football team Rebel FC so don’t delay booking as Easter is just around the corner. Book now so you don’t miss out!
What I’m liking at the moment
After last month’s post (read here if you didn’t already see it) I wanted to avoid getting political again, but I don’t feel I can ignore what’s happened recently with Gary Lineker (and now everyone else from Alex Scott to Jermaine Jenas) and the BBC. I personally appreciate seeing prominent figures within football who wield so much influence, using their power to stand up for what they believe in.
On a lighter note - Liverpool’s 7-0 win against Manchester United was out of this world (yes, that was in March)! The stand out performance for me was from Cody Gakpo who dazzled with his slick dribbling and frightening pace while chipping in with two goals. You can watch the goals here, it’s really cool to see some of these different angles.
Finally, I have to mention Harry Kane. He became both England and Tottenham Hotspurs' all time leading goalscorer this month - which is a crazy achievement, especially after being called a ‘one season wonder’ by many people. Having played with him through the youth ranks, Harry is a great example of how hard work, self-belief and dedication can help you achieve great things!
Can you spot a short haired version of me and Kane in this photo?
Worth a watch
I posted a clip of me playing with Harry Kane which has gained over 100m views on social media sites! Watch here: watch here.
Arsenal were beaten on penalties by Sporting Lisbon, but Sporting’s 45 year equaliser from Pedro Gonçalves is well worth viewing: watch here.
Keeping it with Arsenal... Arsenal Ladies' superstar Frida Maanum scored this absolute worldie against Bayern Munich in their 2-0 win: watch here.
That’s it for March! Please let me know if you’ve got any feedback or comments!
Thanks,
Jesse
