Maximize your Season: Coaches Resource #2

Preparing for week 2 of the season...

Opening weekend is in the books!

How was it? Surprising? Exciting? Crazy? Confusing?
Yep! 
Leave your thoughts below, along with any comments on the following topics:
 
1 - Soccer Parenting.
Last week our recommended article was about setting up to make the season a success.
Well, now the season is rolling! 
So, we got to watch our players play, and likely have high hopes for them to get better in so many ways.
But pause. I like you as you are is a wonderful reminder of how to stay focused in a world where sports bring out new pressures! 
 
2 - Skill School.
How did your players do with this skill school challenge at home? Did you create a team leaderboard? Tell us below.
For this week, check out week 2 - foot balances. This is a fun one because everyone can balance for at least 1 second. It can be funny, it can be goofy, but it can also be a focus moment for the players when you need their attention! 
 
3 - Practice plans.
 
If you remember from the Grassroots coaching class, when we work on one topic, the opposite t topic is also being worked on.
For example, scoring goals. Our focus is to score goals and coach our team to do better, but the defenders who are stopping the goal scoring are also improving.
So this weeks plans are flipped, but still work on both sides of scoring, and preventing scoring! 

 
 
Have fun with it, and please tell us what is working for you and your team!
