Williams Looking To Develop In New Role

In 2016 Trevor Williams will embark on a new challenge at the Perth Football Club in his newly created role as Director of Coaching Colts and Development.  In this position Williams will act as a talent spotter and coaching mentor to Andrew Ruck and other coaches within the Demons District.

“I won’t have a hands on coaching role per say it’s more supporting the coaching mechanisms within our colts and development programs, mentoring and helping identify some coaches in their pathway and then support them with professional learning and other coaching opportunities to hopefully promote their coaching expertise.”

Williams will be spending majority of his time with the colts program and the 16’s development squad while Player Development Officer Peter Brear will be working with the youth football programs.

Williams is eager to get stuck into his role and believes that in time there can be a positive flow on effect for Perth.

“We want to try and support our community clubs better to continue to improve coaching within the district and then that in turn feeds back to the Perth Football Club in terms of talent being developed the way that we see it needs to be developed.”

“We will certainly be having a lot of contact with community clubs and setting up some support models to assist them.”

“We are really keen to make sure that the kids coming through the Perth District are football savvy with a good skill base and understand what it is going to take so they can push themselves to the next level.”
