- On good days we play good soccer, on bad days we TRY to play good soccer
- All players can and will learn.
- Developing skill, sportsmanship and the value of teamworking without
sacrificing fun
- It doesn't matter what the score of the game is at the end, if you
have learned something NEW, then you have WON the game anyway
- Improve skills and have fun
- Don't give the ball away cheaply, if you have the ball the opposition
can't score
- My coaching philosophy is to teach the basic skills, to encourage
aggressive play beginning at a young age, and to make the game fun to
play.
- Soccer is chess with a ball
- Especially in younger ages I think that teaching and mastering fundamental
skills and verbally reinforcing/recognizing proper technique, form, and
performance should be an essential element in coaching.
- Fun, learning, sportsmanship
- Do whatever I can to develop my players so that they have great skills
and attitudes, are great team players, and are great human beings
- I wish to enhance my players' love for the game
- Fun, Skills , Work Rate,
Tactics, in that order for any level !!
- Have fun!!!
- Respect and make use of the fact that the kids have chosen to be there,
and always lead by example - physical conditioning (running/sprints)
as well as skills.
- To create a fun environment where players want to come to practice
and games, while facilitating each players soccer growth and development
to the
complete extent possible.
- We as a team want to play hard, play smart, play with heart, have fun
all the time, put constant pressure on the opposing defense and make sure
that
our goalie is the most bored player on the field. .
- Age appropriate skill, conditioning, and decision making improvement
and growth interwoven with FUN
- Fun, Fitness and Personal Best Performance
- The strength of the wolf is the pack and the strength of the pack is
the wolf.
- If you think winning is the only thing
that matters in youth sports, maybe you should volunteer for something else.
- Let the game be the teacher
- I like to build the team from the back line forward, keeping the ball
in front of my best players and moving the ball up the field in a triangle
to maximize our ability to outnumber the other side on the ball.
- To share the knowledge I learn, the passion I have gained, and the
potential that I see; in every person that is willing to listen.
- Plan what you are going to do, practice what you have planned, execute
what you have practiced, and enjoy the fruits of your labors
- We will continue to develop strong minds and bodies for their future,
while we build character on the field
- You never fail if you try your hardest
- Attempt to get the best from each individual on the team
- It's not just winning and losing that matters; it's how you teach your
players to win and lose
- Attack and finish
- Never turn your back to the ball!
- First one to the ball wins
- WORK HARD AND ALWAYS MOVE WITHOUT THE BALL
- The body will go wherever the mind will take it
- If the kids aren't having fun while they learn at practice, then they
aren't "PLAYING" soccer.
- Play soccer, have fun, get better, win. Repeat
- Individual development: coach and give the skills required to learn;
then you will improve each player…
- "Create a desire to learn,
they will learn to win.”
- Always use the proper technique no
matter how easy or tough the shot is, laziness leads to being scored on.
- Coaching youngsters is about imparting
a love for the game and a love for playing the game well!
- Soccer is a simple game confused by
the human element
- Have fun while learning the game of
soccer
- Good feet before any diving
- Coach at practice, not at games.
- Winning isn't everything, striving
to win is.
- My coaching philosophy for 11-14 year
old girls: lots of ball contact, technique drills that make them move
and have fun, emphasize keeping the ball on the ground.
- tay 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!!

play."

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
- Coach us like men, treat us like women
- Carpe Ludum! (Seize the game!)
- The most successful coaches will teach their players in a manner in
which players find themselves practicing on their own to improve their
skills and knowledge of the game.
- Play hard and have fun
- We must continually strive for fair, equitable, and respectful treatment
of all children in a learning environment. (Soccer and life)
- Success isn't always measured in wins and losses - it is when you see
dirt on their kit, sweat on their forehead, and smiles on their faces
when they know, and you know, they played as best as they could.
- Play to learn. (For youth, especially U12 - games of all types are
the best teachers and trainers)
- When Preparing training sessions, keep it real, if it doesn't happen
in the game, don't do it!
- A controlled, analytical goalkeeper will succeed the out-of-control,
reactive goalkeeper who is less attentive to details and seems to fight
off even the most routine of saves.
- You must do what you have to before you can do what you want to
- The successful coach philosophy provides a goal oriented environment
in which all athletes can measure growth and internally strive to achieve
self motivated levels of success and instill a passion for the sport
since a lost player is a failed coach.
- My philosophy is to teach these kids how to learn and love the game
of soccer, while still having fun doing it.
- For rec soccer, coach the game soccer not daycare soccer.
- To play players only for their skills is to condemn forever players
of less abilities to realise their true potential.
- To create a safe, fun, challenging learning and playing environment
for all players. Creating an environment where kids learn to love the
work that leads to excellent soccer and loads of fun, making them want
to play and come back for more.
- Tomorrow's Success Is Founded On Today's Preparation
- Good Enough is Not Good Enough
- Keep soccer simple, and make it fun...
- Coaching soccer is a little bit like jazz is to music, the coach lays
down the beat and the rhythm, and like the jazz band, the team improvise
around the melody of the game
- First technics than tactics and finally fitness to lift the game speed.
- It's how you play the game that counts
- Youth soccer coaches should measure themselves by how many kids return
each year and are the kids improving every year. Kids first, W-L records
last.

potential, to value the team, and to love the game

- Winning is a consequence of doing the best you can. You never loose
if you

own
both penalty areas.

under pressure
- Develop each players' skills and love for soccer to the limits of each
one's ability.

- If it isn't fun, why do it?
- Soccer, to every player, regardless of their level of play, should
be a growing experience where they are able to learn the lessons of life
through the game, while improving their skill and having FUN!
- On defense the team must absorb the attack, neutralize their opportunities
to finish their shots, gain control of the ball, and attack, creating
opportunities to both retain possession and finish with shots on goal.
- The ideas I convey to my kids, at the first meetings, are to have fun,
learn the sports, and develop teamwork as the season progresses

- I tell my team the following before every practice and every game:
Play Hard, Do Your Best, Work as a Team, and Have Fun.

my league in 9 years or so, because they have found it to be as challenging
and as rewarding as I do.

respect for authority, loyalty to team and a heightened sense of self
worth and fold them together into appropriate game tactics and winning
team play
- Build skills within the coaching and not worry about the outcome of
the game for the players shall do this on their own.

are what the game is all about.

- To instill a passion so deep that regardless of the skill level of
the player, that they are drawn to the game even when their playing days
are over
- The responsibility of the coach is to perfect the organization of the
team.
- Soccer is a microcosm of life and how you train, play and deal with
others goes along way to saying what kind of person you are and how you
change to the person you will become.
- Making the players want to play and always want to have the ball at
their feet will help each player develop a presence on the field.
- Your improveness will reflect the effort made.
- I believe that if the players and the coach are enjoying training,
so long as the coach has a sound understanding of the game , that more
can be achieved.

can't play with it!"

have the
ball!
- Ensure all of your players both on and off the pitch know and trust
you, desire to be part of something exceptional and are willing to work
very hard to achieve it, and believe anything can be done if the right
attitude and mental fortitude are present - b/c there is life in, around,
and after soccer
- To provide my keepers with the skills, information and confidence
necessary so that when they walk onto the field, they know that they can
react to any situation which confronts them and deal with it in an
appropriate and satisfactory manner
