Youth Head Coach (FKU) — responsibilities

What the Förbundskapten Ungdom owns, on one page. The goals further down turn these responsibilities into numbers you can measure.

Goals

Goals — short, medium & long term

Each goal is a number you can check. Short = this season and inside your control; medium = building the system to ~2030; long = the strategy outcomes to 2036. Measure retention, progression and depth first — medals follow a healthy system. Tick a goal when you reach it — each column counts how many are done, saved in your browser.
