One area that I have focused with my club coaches is the idea of building g out of the back. But as many coaches know there are so many layers to BOTB. Enjoy the process! And utilize the KISS method ... keep it simple silly!

Excited for EclipseFC to host Middletown Spring Blast this weekend! Expectations as a coach for tournaments and the evolution of myself as a game coach.

So we as coaches allow our players opportunities to share input, ideas, and feedback? Why not? I say we should involve players in the problem solving experience of soccer development!

Video video video!!

Before, during, and after a game ... how parents/family can be a positive for their player!!

The Black Tux • What age do we start teaching passing? This episode inspired by Scott Nelson @hatrik10 on Twitter. Accidentally added a ‘c’ in his Twitter handle in the episode. When do we as coaches help our players develop the ability to pass? Or do we focus on dribbling at younger ages only? Thoughts?

Anchor • Post Game Talk. Coaches what do you try to accomplish in the 5-10 minutes following a game? When you win? When you lose? Would love to hear your feedback!

Communication is a key component of soccer. But how do you get your player’s to communicate? What activities do you use to emphasize communication? What information do you want the players to communicate?

This episode is inspired by a conversation between John Pranjic and John Kokkoris on the 343 podcast ... a light bulb has gone off in my head! And I wanted to share my take and thoughts on the topic of Repetition, Automatism, and Mastery! I am working on a blog post on Medium to help organize my thoughts as this episode may be a bit sporadic!
