Joe Forber on Coaching

Joe’s article was presented to all coaches in the Magic and Mystics programme to encourage them to think more deeply about their coaching philosophy.

It was not designed to tell them how to coach. Joe was a Founder Member of the Club in 1996, alongside his wife, Maggie, and Coach Graham Williams.

He spent many years coaching in the Boys programme and latterly has overseen the redevelopment of the Girls programme.

Two key signings for junior coaching programme

The Manchester Magic and Manchester Mystics have made two key coaching appointments as they continue to revamp their junior academy programme.

Marc Illescas Corbi and Adeleke Osinaike will join the existing staff now being led by Paul Cantwell.

Marc, 25, is a Level 3 coach from Spain who has worked at all age levels, from U10s right through to Seniors. His most recent position was with top Spanish club Fuenlabrada, where he was head coach of the U18 men’s team.

Adeleke, 21, is a Level 2 coach from Manchester, who has just returned to the city after completing a degree in Neuroscience at Middlesex University.

Both are fantastic additions to the community programme as we look to provide more top-quality opportunities for boys and girls across Manchester.
