Episode 150. And who better to celebrate it with than Michael Beale.

Michael returns to the show to talk about his new role as Head Coach of Zulte Waregem in the Belgian Pro League, and about the topic every coach wrestles with: planning.

Whether you're working in a first-team environment or at grassroots, and whether you see your players every day or only for one or two hours a week, how you plan decides how much your players improve. Michael explains how he approaches it, and what changes when time is short.

Few coaches have seen the game from as many angles. Michael came through the academy system at Chelsea and Liverpool, and has since worked in first-team football as both an assistant and a head coach, managing QPR, Rangers and Sunderland before taking on his new challenge in Belgium.

We get into:

Life and coaching in Belgian football

How to plan a week, a month and a season

Getting the most out of one or two hours a week with your players

What stays the same from academy to first team, and what doesn't

The lessons from working at every level of the game
