Two very important things to know as a coach:

  1. The player always come first!

  2. The game is the greatest teacher!

Coaches are teachers and we need to be knowledgeable about children and about soccer. Check out the MASSYouth soccer and take a course, they are a great learning experience and a lot of fun as well!
