We had some more fun on our makeshift field. Here are some things we liked and some coach tips!

What we liked:

1. Some dangerous passes across the goal mouth. These will create lots of trouble for our adversaries. Justin was routinely in the right place crashing the goal

2. Quick outlet from Levi led to a goal. Soccer is a game of context. Sometimes we play out the back, sometimes we don’t. Every situation demands a different judgement.

3. Attendance – we had 30 guys there. We absolutely love that. One of our core principles is that everyone matters and we will involve everyone. Be ready!

Coach Tips to Work On:

1. Being a team requires going outside your comfort box and befriending everyone. STRONGER TOGETHER. We cannot be groups of 3’s and 4’s. We need to be ONE group of 40. If you have a grudge, let it go. Be positive and rule 1 is never talk bad about a teammate or the program 🙂 You guys are all wonderful. Be wonderful to each other.

2. Less individual = more team. Be quick to involve your teammates. The ball moves a lot faster than any person – even Justin or Gigi! Send that ball to feet or space and let’s move it quicker than our opponent can adjust. Less dribble, more pass.
