How does Captured work?
Captured is a free mobile, tablet and online platform that
allows you to capture, store and share coaching content
that is specific and relevant to you as a coach.
That could be a coaching article or video that has caught
your eye online. It could be a picture of a practice design
you have taken on your smartphone. Or, it could be a word
document or PDF file that you want to store for later. It’s
all content that, with one click of a button,
can be captured and uploaded into your account.

Storing that content is easy. You can keep it in your
‘Files’ to watch or read later, or you can add it to a ‘Page’
where you can add notes as well as other related content
or media.
Or, should you want to create multiple pages around a
particular theme or aspect of your coaching practice,
you can then store them in dedicated ‘Books’.
What you do with that coaching content is then
completely up to you. You can keep it for your own
personal reference, or you can choose to share it with
other coaches you have connected with on the site.
Unlike other social media sites, you have control over
what you share and when you share it.
The FA Coaching Community
Captured isn’t just about being a place for storing your
coaching content. It is also a platform where you can
interact with coaches from across the game through
The FA Coaching Community.
Launched in November 2015, this bespoke community
area provides the opportunity to receive as well as share
latest coaching best practice, tips, guidance and insight.
With over 5,000 members, it is also an ideal space to
interact, network, and engage in discussion with coaches
from around the country.

of minutes when you visit: www.capturedhq.com/thefa.
