Respect 2024

New Respect Campaign Launched For 2024

Respect isn’t just earned on the pitch, its earned off of it as well.

A new Respect campaign for the 2023/24 season has been launched by England Football, focusing on ensuring coaches understand the impact they have on players - including their behaviour.

Respect isn’t just earned on the pitch, its earned off of it as well. When we talk about Respect, we are talking about the positive environment we want to encourage across all of football.

It’s about making the game a better place for all to enjoy.

To achieve this, we understand the importance of the role of our coaches across the game in implementing a positive environment to make their players better on and off the pitch.

A coaches dedication takes players to the next level. Tactics, skills, fitness - all these things are important, but there’s one big factor that can make a huge difference to the people you coach - and it could be the simplest change you make this year to transform your team. 

“My coach was just so infectiously positive and enthusiastic all the time.” - Esme Morgan

“My coach didn’t only build me as a player - he built me as a person.” - Marcus Rashford

Hear directly from our England stars on the importance their grassroots coaches played on influencing and shaping their footballing journeys and setting them on the right path to a successful career. And when we spoke to the former grassroots coaches, they told us that their ethos revolved around making the players feel positive and respected.

Studies have even shown that players who feel positive on the pitch actually play better. 

While as a coach you can’t control each moment on the pitch, you can set the tone before and during every match, at every training session, in every interaction with your team.
