Comment your questions for Jonathan below.
Hi, my eldest plays in grass roots (under 9), I have already noticed a big shift in some parent and coach attitudes, taking it very seriously, being needlessly firm/stern with feedback/sideline reactions etc as if they are all on the edge of becoming premiership stars if they get pushed hard enough.
What advice do you give to navigate this as it seems common and he loves playing football/with the team, so wouldn't want to just move on?
Also what are your FPL picks this season, trying my hand for the first time?
Please inform me who is winning the upcoming world cup so I can bet my life savings. Thanks in advance
