Watford FC Head Of Academy Coaching Development - Micah Hyde ("Coaches need to be quiet on the sidelines" - Episode 18 snippet")

New Snippet: In this episode, I’m joined by someone different to my usual Academy Manager guests.

Former Watford Midfielder Micah Hyde, who is now the Head Of Coaching Development at the EFL Championship club Watford FC, tells me on Episode 18 of my Podcast.
