What is BQCoaching? 

IMG_4649.HEIC

My intention with BQCoaching is to share what I do as a coach, manager and mentor.   To allow players to book sessions, parents to find a suitable program for children and for everyone to have access to sessions, thoughts and ideas that may be helpful to them.

Who am I? 

My name is Ben Qualtrough

A dedicated and passionate coach since the age of 15.  By 23 I had completed the UEFA B Licence, was completing the UEFA A Licence at Lilleshall and studying a degree in Coaching and Sports Development at Manchester Metropolitan University.

 

I have held coaching positions at Derby County Academy, with The FA, Manchester United Soccer Schools, in the US, Thailand and many, many others. 

 

As a Coach Developer I have delivered the UEFA B and C Licences for the FA on the Isle of Man, in Liverpool, Cheshire and Manchester for almost 10 years.  I have also been an FA Mentor and lecturer at UCM on the Coaching and Sports Development BTEC. 

 

In 2016 I created The iCue Academy and as a result drastically changed the landscape of youth football on the Island.  A program that provided 1000’s of opportunities to youngsters, set standards and introduced principles that have been applied by many coaches and youth clubs and a framework which a number of others have since replicated.

The iCue Academy was established in 2016, to provide a pathway in football for children aged 2-16 across the Island.  The groups have been refined to provide high quality and specialised coaching run by me exclusively, ensuring your child the very best football coaching on the Island.
