	Description:		Steve Crossman & BBC Sport Wales’ Dafydd Pritchard look at how the Welsh FA are fast becoming world leaders in producing elite coaches – with the likes of Mikel Arteta, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira being just some of many illustrious products of the FAW’s coaching system. In this episode the guys head to Newport, where they’re given access to the FAW's 2025 Pro License course in Newport, and speak to some of this years candidates who graduate this summer. You’ll hear from the likes of former Arsenal defender Gaël Clichy, who talks about spending time with the SAS as part of the course. Nuri Şahin opens up about his research project on the All Blacks and why he wanted to study culture after being sacked by Borussia Dortmund in January this year, and Wales Manager Craig Bellamy discusses his love of Japanese culture and why part of his approach to coaching is to try to 'save people' from the mistakes he made.
