Soccer Coaching involves so many techniques and training gimmicks that you as the soccer coach must write everything down in order to keep track of it all. You must have organizational skills!
Keep files on each player. In that file along with information over his or her skills you must include what will motivate this player to bring about optimum results. With this information in your hands you are able to continue with the training part of your soccer team.
How many drills or skills will you as the soccer coach hope to achieve in one practice session of 90 minutes? How many of your players can run for 90 minutes straight? Endurance drills will be necessary in order to bring your team up to the best of their ability.
How many drills do you have prepared to train your team? There are at least 250 practice drills just for passing the ball, receiving the ball, or heading the ball. Are your players able to twist while running? How high can they jump? What will you as their training soccer coach offer in order to give them the best chance to win?
Soccer training is about winning. You train to build up the endurance necessary to have the stamina to outrun or outplay your opponent. So here are a few tips to help you get organized and ready to win!
1. Get organized! As I said above it is vital to the team's success that the coach be organized. Keep a file on each player. Have a list of endurance drills ready to build up strength and stamina. Have a list of drills ready to improve the player's ability with the ball. It won't bring anything to the table if the players can run for 90 minutes but can't pass a ball.
2. Train your players to succeed! Motivate your players by letting them know you expect the team to win. But don't let them think it will be easy. They must be willing to work! Have each player write down on a small piece of paper what they hope to achieve first as a player and then as a member of the team and what they hope the team as a whole can achieve and tell them up front to think about it in depth. Everybody wants to win but the players should know themselves well enough to know what their strengths and weaknesses are and how that can affect the team. When the players are ready to think about that and give reasonable answers in return then you as the soccer coach have a good chance to motivate and train your players for success.
3. In return you as the soccer coach should also sit down and write what your goals are and how they will affect the team. What are your strengths and what are your weaknesses? How will you as the coach work on your weaknesses. What help do you need in order to bring your weaknesses to a minimum and position your team into the winning row? Answer these questions honestly and with respect. You might be surprised.
Good luck with your soccer training and best wishes for a winning year on and off the pitch.
