Meet the Staff - Community Coaches

Stuart Blackwood

What got you involved in volunteering?

My son was training and playing each week, and I was there to watch. When asked if I could help out to cover, in case the real coach was absent, I was happy to help. 
 

What has been your most positive experience as a volunteer?

Watching the team play well and getting the rewards their effort deserves. 
 

How important is volunteering to your club?

I guess it makes it easier for the boys to have a familiar, if grumpy, face, when Keiran cant make it.  Worst case, I suppose, is that there's no game, which wouldn't go down well with the players. 
 

What is so special about being involved with Falkirk in the Community?

Watching the players enjoy their football, while they improve their skills, stamina, concentration, and temperament 
 

What support do you receive from Falkirk in the Community?

A feeling of camaraderie, first and foremost, with my own coach, and any of the others I have met. I am also invited to the Coerver and FVFDA coaching sessions, which will hopefully improve my input 
 

How can any new players join your Club?

Not sure, I guess by contacting either Tom Elliot, Richard Fox, or Keiran Martin 
 

What do you like to do with your spare time?

I play football, not that you'd know, play golf, again not that you'd know, and go to see Motherwell.
