Love the tip about the coach’s board, if the kids can see your expectations they will be more likely to strive to meet them.

Wow these tips are INCREDIBLY helpful. Thank you. This is my first season ever coaching and the kids are 12U. It’s been so hard to keep their concentration and focus intact and this is the first video I’ve seen with actually unique tips to put into play.

This was a GREAT first video for soccer/football coaches. It would be SUPER helpful if in the comments, you have a link to a second video. I think a great second video would be what you would do in your very first actual training with a team. I am curious what you do and how you start assessing the team, deciding who goes where and how you deal with the kid's skills vs their desired positions. If a kid is best at defense, but really wants to play striker, what do you do?

[marckerhoas]

All tips are spot on. excellent content. thank you for sharing!

Just put 3 of my kids in soccer
One is a pen pal with a pre pro soccer athlete
I got a call the 10year olds need a coach
So I’m willing but I played hockey my whole life
I want to do it to not let any kids down
But I don’t want to fail them either so I’m learning and going to a meeting Monday
I’m happy I have the time I do to be available
But I really want to do a great job since people pay money n want the best for their kids
Thanks for the video

I really found this helpful. it really impacted alot in me. Thanks for this and please can i have some more?

Most of these I agree with but not sitting on the ball. I've seen several balls eventually burst and therefore paid to replace them. Also, just because they're sat down doesn't mean they're concentrating as they could be ripping grass or looking at something else going on. Also, just before kids run around I don't think it's a good idea to be sat down. IMHO.

I finessed a private soccer coach job absolutely so unqualified to teach soccer i make 35$ an hour though🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm about to coach a group of elementary school kids in an afterschool session, likely 5 days a week.

Do you have any tips engagement-wise to connect with the kids and make the sessions interesting? I've only coached adults (16 y/o and up) who have a mindset of "I love football and want to become a pro one day", which is very different from "I love football and I want to have fun". How should I change the way I teach the kids so that they stay engaged and not stray into being too serious?
