hi everyone
I have had an interest in coaching overseas for a long time. However, at this point in my life with a family and career it would be hard for me to pack up and go over for months at a time. I was wondering, do teams, organizations, over there ever do any technique camps or coaches clinics where American coaches can come over to coach/speak on a more short term basis?
thanks for any help

Yes, I have done camps and training programs over there for the past 7-8 years. Been to Denmark, Sweden, England, Scotland, France, and Belgium. As with anything, it's about building relationships, timing, and content. Federation representatives that oversee development of the sport in their country are the ones who usually drive the events and programs. It's helpful to get to know some guys and do a good job for them, and they will work with you to come back. American Football is among the fastest growing sports in the region.
I started from an invite from a coach who liked our material.

Yes, I am one of those coaches organizing events in Europe. (I have hosted coach Slack before and he was excellent)
I'm based in Belgium, which is smack in the middle of Western Europe, which has helped us to get players and coaches from further away attend our camps/clinics.
Shoot me a PM and we can see what is possible.

Joris85 has been an excellent friend and host to our program and does a great job positioning coaches to serve players. He's also in a great central location in Belgium to draw from surrounding countries. His relationships to surrounding federations also makes knowing him a very valuable relationship.
I would encourage any coach desiring to get overseas to meet Joris85 and have a chat about opportunities
