“You need to listen to me.”
“You must do what I say!”
“You need to agree with me.”
L-I-S-T-E-N!
These are the desperate cries of a frustrated soccer coach.
A youth coach that hasn’t figured out how to deal with short attention spans, mischief and players wanting to lick the posts.
Why should the player’s kids listen to you?
Why should they agree with you?
Do you need obedience and discipline to validate yourself as a coach? (same applies to soccer parents)
Do you long for acceptance?
If you seek validation, acceptance or even praise, you’re going to fail, big time. Not everyone is going to agree with you or even like you for that matter.
Forget about your training methods, super dooper training drills and philosophies for one moment.
Something new is needed.
Experienced youth coaches and the few that have experienced Love Based Soccer understand that “CHANGE” is not for everyone. Who in their right mind would change the pecking order especially when they sit on top of the mound?
Love Based Soccer is about change.
Not everyone will accept this new philosophy and it’s definitely not for everyone. Don’t worry, they can catch up later.
If the kids love the game, love you and feel the difference, Love Based Soccer will unearth soccer superstars. It’s inevitable.
Players, kids and parents are moved by stories and the universal emotion of love. The Beatles sang “All you need is love” and I couldn’t agree more.
Coaching kids soccer is a battle that can be won.
Forget logic for one moment.
Coaching professionals is not the same as coaching youngsters. So why do so many mimic and copy their training drills and philosophies?
Something to think about.
Put your trust in Love Based Soccer. Put it all on the line.
Will you succeed?
The only way to change things is to put it all on the line and swim against the tide.
Love Based Soccer is a prerequisite for Soccer Success.
It’s not a choice!
