Is sports coaching in trouble? Afternoon Edition investigates the shortage of coaching staff, as we examine Sport England's new 'Coaching Plan' and ask what impact the child sexual abuse in football scandal has had on clubs' abilities to get coaches.
 
Sarah and Nihal also speak to Wendy Russell to discover what makes a good coach. Wendy has won awards for her commitment of time and energy in coaching hockey - including setting up the first ever deaf hockey club and creating a hockey-specific sign language to go with it.
