teacher is important. Young players look up to you and are influencd
by how you handle every situation. That's why it is so important
that you follow these suggestions:
GUIDE your players toward
improvement through education, practice and encouragement.
PLAY all team members in all
games.
TEACH good sportsmanship among
teamates and opponents alike.
BE AWARE of each team member's
needs and address them accordingly.
COMMUNICATE your goals, concerns
and aspirations for the team to the team's parents.
ENCOURAGE your team to set
personal goals - and have fun achieving them!
KEEP YOUR COOL when dealing with
a bad call or opposing opinion.
REMEMBER why you chose to coach
youth soccer and always keep those reasons alive.
