Growing up an avid football fan, Chloe Morrison knew what she wanted to do with her life, coaching. Now working at Broadwood with Rangers Football Club, her dreams have become her reality, but here is her story.
Growing up with two older sisters and a younger brother, there was one constant in her life, Football. Growing up a Rangers fan strongly grew that passion for football day by day, it was also heavily influenced by her grandad, who was a Rangers fan himself and is very involved in her life, so that started the idea of her becoming a coach. After leaving high school in her 5th year, she moved on to college doing a course in sport and fitness coaching.
While going through high school and college, she was trying to get her coaching badges and volunteering to coach football since she was 14. Currently working for a top-level club, she has experience at Kelty Hearts and Raith Rovers, working with their youth teams, similar to what she is doing now. She told me when we chatted that her favourite part of her job is watching people’s faces light up over a skill they have worked hard on. Reflecting on what she has learned about herself through this job, she told me to be more patient and not to take hate seriously.
Helping academy players get to where they want to be is what Chloe feels is important about her job, helping them achieve those childhood dreams. Chloe has some advice for anyone wanting to become a coach, “Just go for it, don’t let anyone put you off doing something you love”
Chloe may be starting her career but she knows how important it is to young footballers to achieve their dreams and she is hoping to help more make their dreams happen.
