Coaching Youth Soccer Part 1

As a young youth soccer coach, I have benefited from my older more experienced peers. I have generally maintained the attitude of a sponge - I try to stay as open as possible and soak up any bit of information that flows my way. I have found that many coaches are very willing to open up and share their knowledge. With this attitude, I have made many contacts in the game, which have also allowed me to explore new and exciting options in coaching. However, my experience has also led me to understand a lot about the foundation of soccer in this country - the recreational level.
