Martyn believes in coaching like a great teacher believes in teaching — with structure, warmth, and a deep understanding of people.
His approach reveals a blueprint for coaching beyond instruction. It’s not ability and coaching experience that drives his values at Walsall FC, but predictable routines, reflective questions, and the courage to build from care.
If you're a teacher, coach, or leader trying to turn trust into traction — this episode is your playbook.
“Crafting feedback and performance without ego is hard. But as Martyn models, it’s also teachable.”
