139 Steve Beharall's Journey from Football Coach to CEO

139 Steve Beharall's Journey from Football Coach to CEO

In episode 139 of Demystifying Mental Toughness I had the pleasure of speaking to the head of The Newcastle United Foundation, Steve Beharall. Steve shared his inspiring journey from being a part time football coach to where he is today. Lessons that he has learned, challenges he's overcome as well as insights into initiatives that the foundation are involved in and what the future holds. Steve also passes on some advice to the future generation of coaches on opportunities for them.

Key Learning Points:

  • Whilst as an academy coach at Newcastle United, I realised that all I wanted was to help kids with football.
  • When I decided to take a different direction in the Newcastle United Foundation I spent the first three years of my time here working closely with my predecessor learning valuable lessons.
  • Since I started we've gone from 65 to 240 full time staff and 60 sessional staff.
  • In 2022, we've grown the turnover from £3 million to £6 million and expanded on programs, by 80% in the last three years.
  • Newcastle United Foundation Case Studies
  • NUcastle is an important part of the community and service sector across the North East of England.
  • Whether you're a coach or a leader, relationships have to built on trust, respect and honesty.
  • It's important to be mindful of your mental health.
