don't mather which level of team but could you, doo you have a urge to, willing to, mind to lead a soccer team, do you have a philosophy which you have honed and cherissed and nutured and thought about everytime you watch a game. Doo you say to yourself/think for youeself that you could do a much better tactical judgment then the payd manager/coach. I doo sometimes, i am what you could cal a sofa-coach. I say to mayself and have my own developed "idea" of how I would lile to lead a team be it junior squad, teenagers and older, i have a "ambitions and fantasys " that I could tacticly manage a team, I have I litle urge to couach a junior team once, just to trye out some concpets of my own, some elelmetns surounding leading a soccer team seems so encoureging to me, to make your own gameplan, training mehtods and develop a teams play is something that would be fun to chalange yourself with, what doo you think -------------

| Coached U12 and U14 for 8 years while my 2 sons played. Had been asked to submit my name for the high school , but had no interest in the politics at the high school. Really enjoyed it and have thought about looking to do it again, who knows. Might be nice to work with some U16 or U18 players and see what would happen. Always had extremely hard-working, competitive teams. |

good to hear, my experiances with coaches arent the best, my head coach (for the one yar I played) was a yuong ambitious winning type of guy, but he also was a dick to those who wassent good enough (like 11 year olds) so he really took all my ambition out of me

| That's the experience my older son had at the high school level. He came into high school as an extremely tough and talented defender, but the coach wouldn't take him seriously because he didn't play on a private club team. By Junior year he was the best defender on the team, but didn't even get a shot at playing on the varsity and quit. I had parents coming to me to ask why he wasn't playing, and I'd explain. It was the unfortunate example of a coach who was narrow minded and felt you couldn't play if you weren't on a fancy-ass club team. It was too bad, but reality. |

Yes, I'd actually encourage shooting which means something might actually happen, for once.

 So true. So many youth coaches don't get their kids to shoot the ball! |

Absolutely.
Harsh punishment will be the prize for failure. China/north Korea/Iran will look like pacifists compared to the atrosities that would occur if I was head coach. This way I can axccumlate the best players and all the less qualified would...lets say not participate anymore.  ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
