In this interview filmed exclusively for CV Academy, Norwich City Head of Football Development Steve Weaver gives us an unrivalled insight into the philosophies, processes and values that drive one of the most progressive and successful academies in English football.

He looks back on his own coaching pathway and explains his day-to-day role within the club, with particular reference to how the academy prepares players such as Max Aarons and Todd Cantwell to step up and work with a first team that has been promoted to the Premier League twice in three seasons under Daniel Farke.

This is the first part of a new series of features from inside the Norwich City Academy, with exclusive coaching courses and more coach interviews from all age phases to follow.
