Throughout the season, the LMA Institute of Leadership and High Performance runs a programme of full day masterclasses at professional football and elite sport venues around the country.
LMA Masterclasses provide attendees with a bespoke learning experience led by an expert facilitator accessed through the exclusive LMA network, with a range of interactive activities and discussions to reflect on your lived experience and encourage learning as a collective experience. The carefully selected expert facilitator will ensure that the programme is tailor-made to suit the performance / leadership objectives, and they will be assisted by additional experts to support the focus of the day by providing insights from their professional practice.
Each subject that is the focus of an LMA Masterclass is sourced from the LMA Personal Development Model which is central to the structure of the LMA Institute of Leadership and High Performance.
“LMA Masterclasses are the best place to stay up to date with relevant CPD content for football managers and coaches.”
