LMA Perform.

LMA Perform is a 12-week programme focused on the core aspects of mental health, performance management and resilience, which form the basis for surviving and thriving as an elite performance football manager or coach.

Being an elite-level football manager or coach can be extremely rewarding and challenging. Coaches and managers are sporting performers in their own right, and like their players, they need to be in optimal condition to flourish and succeed.

LMA Perform will allow you to build your wellbeing foundations for sustained high level coaching and management performance.

“The LMA Perform short course was another great course, led by industry experts, with a mixture of subjects that supported my role. I was able to do the course alongside my assistant coach and that also enabled good conversations that impacted directly into our work setting.”
