Advice for Level 1 coach going for Level 2!?

Hi everyone, I'm a Level 1 coach starting my Level 2 next week. I currently coach a team of U8s and a university league team, where I study Sports and Psychology. Any advice on how to improve my coaching and do well on the level 2? Thanks

you have the right experience at the moment to go for level 2 as university team is a good level to work on the things you will get on level 2.

I would advise to watch other coaches to pick up ideas and experience. Level 2 has a certain way of coaching you need to have and you will find this upon taking the course.

Good Luck.
