Lead Professional Development Phase Coach and Reading FC's under-18s manager Harrison Gilkes joins Ben and Ross for a fascinating interview ahead of his side's PL Cup final on Tuesday against West Ham United at the SCL Stadium.
Harrison gives insight on the development process, the difficulties of inspiring youth players to do their schoolwork, and just what it is that makes Reading's academy so good.
Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!
