Budding coach talks role models, marathon running and the excellence of Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly
If there are nerves when Jack Wilshere walks into the room and sits behind the table emblazoned with the England logo, they are not evident.
The 33-year-old has been in press conference rooms many times as a player, but as a head coach it is an alien proposition. He is at St George’s Park and is part of a cohort of 25 on the Uefa Pro Licence course who are briefed on a fictional scenario they might face as a head coach before they take a seat in front of a small group of journalists to be brutally grilled on it. The process is a little extreme and not entirely true to life, but it is designed to put them under pressure and test the media skills they have learned that day.
