‘The Accidental Manager: The Uncomfortable Truth About Junior Football’ has recently been published, presenting a unique perspective at the societal and behavioural issues of adults involved in junior football, and the impact that this has on children… S Compton and M Jones are everyday guys from Essex who fell into managing football teams for their sons (and friends) for many years, from children to young adults.

Written by ‘Accidental Managers’ and parents from Essex, S Compton and M Jones, peel back the veneers of ‘overenthusiastic’ support from the side lines and the systems in place to present a stark and honest look at the environment at leagues up and down the country. It highlights the positives of how rewarding it can be to help children develop and improve, while shining a spotlight on the aspects that many would prefer to ignore. This is the very uncomfortable truth about Junior Football.
