Stay focused, don't be afraid to try something different & have fun
doing whatever it is you want to do
It's not the money, it's not the power....IT'S THE KIDS STUPID!!!
I coach not only to teach the game but hopefully to instill in my girls a
love for the "beautiful game".
To build self-esteem in the children of our community by developing
athletic skills and sportsmanship through fun and friendly competition
To teach my players to play the game in the manner at which it is played
at the highest of levels within the context of their particular age and
level of development, while keeping in mind that virtually none of my
players will ever turn pro, but will in all likelihood grow to become
parents and hopefully coaches as well.
My philosophy it to offer committed players the opportunity to develop
their
skills both technically & tactically
Both players and coaches should have high expectations of themselves and
of each other and should do their best to meet those expectations.
Practice as you play, play as you practice.
To build character and bodies through the game of soccer.
I love Yoda' s saying, "There is no try, just do." Don't try to
play well, don't try to do well academically, don't try to be a good
sportswoman, don't try to be a teammate; DO!
Fun and success through fitness, skills and teamwork
Keep the game fun.
I strive as a coach to provide an environment where my players can improve
their soccer skills, learn the lessons only a competitive, team sport can
teach, and most importantly, enjoy the experience enough that they will stay
involved with the game, in some capacity, for the rest of their lives.
I do not coach a sport, I coach kids !!
KEEP IT SIMPLE SOCCER!!
Just because you dont have the ball, doesn't make you not in the
play."
DO YOUR BEST AND HAVE FUN.
DESIRE, TECHNIQUE. VISION, RESULTS
Working with the soccer athletes to maximize their strengths while helping
them to learn how to minimize the impact of their weaknesses.
Athlete First, Winning Second
To develop to the highest possible level the abilities, skills,
performances, competitiveness, and accomplishments of the team and every
player on the team through interesting and intense practices, and through
spirited and competitive matches.
I believe in teaching kids how to play technically clean, skilled soccer
in a manner that they can develop physically, mentally and emotionally at
their own level, while enjoying themselves.
The game is the greatest teacher
I try to combine a high level of fitness and technique in my training
sessions using all 16 players effectively so they all contribute on game day
which I believe other teams have a hard time keeping up with.
To give each one of my players an equal opportunity to play in each game
no matter what their skill level.
If you make it fun for the youth, they will continue to learn, and
continue to love the game.
The more a player develops her technical skills; the more she will enjoy
her
participation in our sport.
The character of your players will win more games than anything else.
Winning is a byproduct of proper development, not the other way around
Keep the ball on the ground and play to feet.
The Team passes, The Team receives, The Team shoots, The Team defends, The
Team wins.
If you learn it right the first time you won't have to learn it again.
A coach must be so attentive as to move through each game as though the
ball, and to make certain in whatever manner appropriate that this passage
can be dissected and analysed by the individual player, team and coach so
that the collective contribution propogates improvement.
Build a strong Defense in order to attack
Through my coaching I attempt to guide a player, through reflective
teaching,
to the next obtainable level of their game to better advance the player and
the team.
As a coach you have to find your opponents weakness and work on it with
your teams strengths, that is how you defeat strong opposition.
praise and encouragement.
A goalkeeper must always return to the fundamentals in order to excel at
any level of play
Some you win and some you lose, but there will always be juice boxes,
teddy grahams, and pats on the back after every game....
Excellence over Success
Let the kids have fun so they can learn, and later learn to win.
Keep it simple!!
To develop the players personal skills and team play at their age
appropriate level, so that they will be more complete players at higher
levels, able to play almost any position on any team, and contribute
significantly.
I would rather have a team who lost games, yet still enjoyed their
football
rather than a team who win all the time and don't enjoy it, FUN is the key
word.
Games/Championships are not won by individuals or teams that score the
most goals - they're won by teams made up of individuals that support each
other with conviction - both on and off the pitch
Attack from the back
Discipline, fitness, and score more goals than the other team!
Practice how you play, play how you practice.
WORK HARD DURING PRACTICE AND HAVE FUN DURING THE MATCH
Being an active resource to another individual for exploring, building and
maximizing their potential
