What is a Good Coach?A good coach is someone who knows winningis wonderful but is not the triumph of sports.PATIENCE-This is probably the mostimportant characteristic. Let’s face it—12active boys or girls together require a lot ofattention. A good coach is one who doesn’texpect angels on the soccer field.TOLERANCE - This quality goes hand-in-hand with patience. Kids are going to berowdy, or moody or lazy. Tolerance takes thedifferent mind-sets and turns the focus to thetasks “afoot”.ACCEPTANCE - Children are so verydifferent. Each one has varied potential andskill levels. A good coach is one whorecognizes each child as an individual andhe/she encourages that child to perform athis/her very best level. Perfection is notrequired!MOTIVATION - Soccer can be viewed askids kicking a ball across the field, or it can beviewed as an opportunity for growth. The truetest lies in sparking a child’s interest to learnand grow and keeping that spark alive eachseason.RESPECT – At so many games, coaches,and sometimes parents, of the other teamsberate and belittle their players for making“mistakes”. Sometimes they even go as far ascriticizing opposing team members. Goodgrief! We’re playing U-10 soccer! This isn’tthe World Cup. A good Coach never singlesout a child for making a mistake and he/shedoes not allow parents or the other teammembers to do so either.ABILITY TO TEACH - Sounds simple,right? It’s not. How many times has a parentsigned up a child for a sport, only to have awell-intentioned father decide to coach? Hemay or may not know the sport. He may ormay not relate well to his players. There is ahuge difference between the team whosemembers do what is yelled at them, and theteam whose members actually understandwhat to do and why. A good coach teacheshis players basic fundamentals, explainsconcepts and enables his/her players to thinklogically when making a play.LOVE OF KIDS - They have the energy tomake every practice and every game a newexperience for coaches and parents alike.Without their vision and energy, sports wouldbe dull and unappreciated. They offer a dayto-day challenge for coaches, which iscontagious and which is motivation foreveryone involved in athletics at all levels.LOVE OF THE GAME - Coaches mustlove their sport, and, more importantly, mustshow their players enthusiasm for everyaspect of the game. This would includetechniques and tactics. The love of the gamemust also show to the players the love forfair-play, respect for the opponents, officials,and spectators, and positive reinforcement forteam mates. Only a good coach who loves thegame can provide the correct aspectsinvolved in the winning and losing ofcompetition.SPORTSMANSHIP—perhaps this shouldhave been on top of the list, but being towardthe end does not lessen the importance. Mydefinition of sportsmanship is to teach kids towork together as a team in order to achieve acommon goal. It also means teaching kids torespect other players as well as each other.Insults are not tolerated. Mistakes are teammistakes, and they are used as teaching toolsfor the next game.Kentucky Coach’s Notebook 2008Page 2
Theory of CoachingWhat is PlayerDevelopment?The game is already in each child; we ascoaches need to create a game environment:Activities that the child wants to participate inbecause they are fun. Players being exposed to playing allpositions.Every player has a ball for practice.Activities designed to maximize thenumber of touches by each player atpractice.Rules modified for players according totheir age group characteristics.Equipment modified for playersaccording to their age groupcharacteristics.Activities designed to promotethinking, not doing drills.De-emphasize winning/losing. We donot need to keep standings, statistics,etc.Kids at the beginning of practice arewaiting for the coach to tell them whatto do. This is extremely negative.What we as coaches should be doing iscreating an environment where thekids play the gameWhat a coach can do to create thisenvironment at the beginning ofpractice:As the first kids arrive at practice place2 small goals so they can play 1 vs. 1.As another child arrives have themjump in and make it 2 vs. 1.Keep adjusting the field size as newplayers show until they are all playinga game.Do this for about 15 minutes, and thenbegin practice.Objectives Set up the condition and environmentfor learning.Facilitate the learning.Players must have fun.Players need to receive positivefeedback from the coach.Coach must be enthusiastic aboutwhat they are doing.It should all be done in the "Spirit" ofPlay.Activities need to be geared towardsthe players achieving success, withsuccess measured by FUN.As a Positive Role ModelDemonstrate respect for team members,opponents, referees, parents, spectators, andopposing coaches. To have a responsibility tothe game itself.As one who understands whomthey are coaching Children are not defined bychronological age only.Each child matures and develops athis/her own pace.Treat each child as an individual. Notall children participate for the samereasons.Role of the CoachFacilitatorReason for facilitator is that mostparent/coaches have not been exposed to asoccer environment.Kentucky Coach’s Notebook 2008Page 3
Components of the GameTechnique (Definition: The Skillsof the Game; dribbling, kicking,heading, etc.)Most important at the younger age groupsbecause it is the introduction of the player tothe ball.Activities must be FUN and game-like andlearning takes place through self-discovery.PsychologyThe development of a positive attitude aboutall aspects of the game.Tactics (Definition: PlayerDecisions)At the younger age groups the emphasis isnot placed upon teaching tactics due to thelack of technical ability of players and also topsychological development.Decision-making is to be observed by thecoach - not stopping to analyze, describe, ordissect. All of this can lead to bored youngplayers.FitnessAppropriately organized technique enhancingactivities and small sided games will provideplayers at this level with the necessaryphysical requirements to meet the necessaryphysical demands of their game."Truths" About Children andSportsThe four underlying concepts provide anumber of truths about children and sportsthat have been identified in other research.Fun is pivotal; if it's not "fun," young peoplewon't play a sport.Skill development is a crucial aspect of fun; itis more important than winning even amongthe best athletes.When a coach forces kids to play a certainposition there is a certain type of groundingKentucky Coach’s Notebook 2008that is established in that player that mighttake a year to get out of. We are restrictingplayers at a very young age by putting theminto positions. We need to let them have freeplay. The worst thing that could happen isthey could get scored on.The most rewarding challenges of sports arethose that lead to self-knowledge.Coaches need to incorporate as muchDECISION MAKING into their practice aspossible.Intrinsicrewards (selfknowledgethat grows outof selfcompetition)are moreimportant increatinglifetimeathletes thanare extrinsicrewards(victory orattention fromothers).Kids can learn about themselves through thegame. This is why we as coaches need to doactivities that enhance the imagination.Our present game/sport structure is based ongames of elimination. We must removegames of elimination at the youth level.Coaching ResourcesCoaches are expected to be familiar with andcomply with the various rules of thegoverning bodies for youth soccer. MostKentucky Youth Soccer Association AffiliateMember’s have adopted their own associationrules, which are generally available in printedform from the association.Kentucky Youth Soccer has adopted StateRules, which govern the game within thestate.

Dealing with ParentsCoaching is exciting and rewarding, butoccasionally you may experience difficultywith parents. Some parents may want theirchild to play more; others may question yourjudgment as a coach. Whatever the concern,the parent is generally just looking out fortheir child, often times at your expense. Don'tbe discouraged. There are some things youcan do to open up communication and makedealing with parents a positive aspect of yourcoaching duties.on-one and not in a crowd situation. Try notto be defensive. Let the parent talk while youlisten. Often a parent will vent theirfrustration just by talking. Listen to theirviewpoint, and then thank them for it.Resist unfair pressure. It is your responsibilityas a coach to make the final decision. Thisdoes not mean that you still can't listen to theparents. Don't discuss individual players withother parents. The grapevine will hang youevery time. Show the same respect for eachplayer on the team that you want the parentsto show toward you. Ask the parents not tocriticize their children during games orpractices. Don't let players be humiliated,especially by their own parents. Don't blamethe players for their parent's actions.Be consistent! If you change a rule orphilosophy during the season, you may be infor trouble. At the very least, inform playersand parents of any changes as soon aspossible.Most importantly, be fair. If you treat allplayers equally and with respect, you will gaintheir respect and that of their parents as well.Have a parent meeting before the firstpractice to discuss your plans andexpectations for the season. See the section,"Parent Orientation Meeting" for tips on howto do this well. Encourage questions fromparents and let them know that you havegiven them a lot of thought to the upcomingseason. Express appreciation for theirinterest and concern. This will make themmore open and at ease with you.Always listen to their ideas and feelings.Remember, they are interested andconcerned because it is their children that areinvolved. Encourage parental involvement. (Ifyou have a preferred time for them to voicethose concerns, let them know at the ParentOrientation Meeting).Know what your objectives are and do whatyou believe to be of value to the team, not tothe parents. No coach can please everyone.Know the club and game rules. Be preparedto abide by them and explain them to theparents Handle any confrontation in a oneKentucky Coach’s Notebook 2008Remember that you will be dealing with alltypes of children, and with parents havingdifferent backgrounds and ideals. Thechallenge for you as a coach is to addressthese differences in a positive manner so thatthe season will be enjoyable for everyoneinvolved.The PositiveParenting DVD fromUS Youth SoccerThe DVD provides a uniqueblend ofpsychology/philosophy andinterviews with children ofvarious ages.

Team OrganizationParent OrientationMeetingAll coaches are encouraged to establisheffective lines of communication with teamparents early in the season by holding aparent orientation meeting. This may take theform of a casual discussion in your livingroom, or could be combined with a teampicnic. Show the Positive Parenting DVD if youcan. Whatever the format, the time youinvest will pay dividends for all concernedthroughout the season. If a meeting isimpossible, the following information could beput into a letter to parents/players, but aface-to-face meeting is preferable.Purpose of a ParentOrientation Meeting Enables parents to understand theobjectives and goals of the program.Enables parents to become acquaintedwith you, the coach.Inform parents about the nature (andinherent risks) of the sport.Inform parents of your expectations ofthem and of their children.Enables you to address any concernsof the parents.Establishes clear lines ofcommunication between you, parents,and players.Allow you to obtain parental support(assistant coaches, team parents, etc.)Things to Consider whenOrganizing the Meeting Be prepared and be organized toconduct the meeting efficiently.Important Points to CoverCoach introduction Introduce yourself and assistantcoaches (or ask for volunteers at thistime)Give some background informationabout yourself (why you are coaching,experience)Coaching philosophy Discuss what you consider to be thevalue of the sportDiscuss your methods for teachingskillsState the importance you assign tohaving fun and developing skillsState the importance you assign towinning and losingDiscuss any team rules and guidelines,disciplinary proceduresDiscuss your philosophy regardingplayer rotation, substitution, playingtimeSpecifics of the programPractice schedule (how many perweek? how long?)Game schedule (how many? when dothey begin?)Minimum playing time (what is therule in your local club?)Equipment required (shirts, socks,shorts, shin guards)Or recommended (ball, soccer shoes,water bottle)Inherent risks (soccer is a contactsport, albeit a relatively safe one)Medical insurance (KYSA insuranceprovides secondary coverage)Hold it early in the season, preferably beforethe first team practice.

Player’s Equipmentespecially for the older player. Considerwashability when selecting a shin guard.BALL - Encourage each player to have his orher own ball and to use it often, not justduring team practice. Players will not derivemaximum benefit from practice unless theyeach have their own ball for warm-ups andindividual drills.SOCCER SHOES - Recommended, but notrequired by most clubs. Baseball or footballtype shoes with square or rectangular cleatsare not legal for soccer. Soccer cleats formost recreational play must be rubber ormolded plastic (no metal cleats), and no lessthan 3/8 inch in diameter. Check your club'sregulations, then check your players' shoesfor illegal cleats, protruding nails, or sharpedges, and correct any problem before areferee discovers a violation and one of yourplayers is forced to sit out a game.WATER BOTTLE (with player's name on it) Fresh water should be available to yourplayers at each practice and game. It is easierfor the coach if each player provides his orher own water bottle.SHIRTS, SOCKS, SHORTS - One or more ofthese items may be provided for each playerby your local club. Be sure that you are awareof your club's policies with respect touniforms and inform your players and parentsof any requirements.Soccer balls come in a variety of sizes, eachdesignated by a number: Size #3 - smalleststandard size, for the youngest players (e.g.U-6 to U-8), Size #4 - intermediate size,appropriate for U-9 through U-12 and Size #5- largest standard size, for U-13 to adultSOCCER BAG – An athletic bag or backpacksize appropriate to the player. Bag should belarge enough to accommodate the player’sequipment, shoes and uniform or practicegear. It is easier for the coach if each childhas a way to organize and keep track of theplayer’s own gear.SHIN GUARDS - An absolute requirement forgames, should also be worn for all practices,the pull-on "legging" type with foam paddingprotecting the front of the leg from ankle toshin is an excellent shin guard. Those withplastic inserts offer additional protection,Kentucky Coach’s Notebook 2008Page 9
Coach’s EquipmentSHIN GUARDS - a spare pair of old ones willcover for a forgetful player!A large BAG for all of the items listed below!SPARE SHIRTS (2) for your goalkeepers having two extra shirts of different colors(each contrasting with your team shirts)insures that you will always have a keeper'sshirt that contrasts with the opposition colors.Scrimmage vests or pennies are a usefuladdition if funds allow. Pennies help playersrecognize groups in small games.Players' MEDICAL RELEASE FORMS - youmust have these with you at all practices andgames; verify that the emergency informationis there.MEDICAL KITS - A simple kit for games andpractices is a good idea for every coach. A kitshould include: Ice and “zip-lock bagsBand aidsSterile PadsAdhesive TapeElastic wrapsVaselineBee sting relief ointmentAntibiotic ointmentGOALKEEPER'S GLOVES - an inexpensivepair is a useful addition to your game bag.CONES or pylons (about a dozen) to set upsmall areas for practice drills, as obstacles fordribbling drills, or to mark boundaries for ascrimmage field. Cones of a different color (orwith some added duct tape) will make adistinctive goal.WHISTLE and a CLIPBOARD (for practiceplans, medical release forms, and substitutionschedules) are helpful items.WATER should be available during practiceand at the game. Have the players bring theirown water bottles (but keep an extra bottle inyour bag or cooler for the occasional forgetfulplayer).Alternatively, have your team parent organizea schedule among the parents to providewater and cups.BALLS - if possible, have a good quality ballavailable at the game. This will serve for teamwarm-ups and can be used as a game ball ifnone is provided.The leather or synthetic leather soccer ballsare best; avoid the hard plastic-skinned ballswhich are unpleasant to kick or head.Each player should have his own ball andbring it to practice; but bring any old sparesthat you may have to practice becausesomeone is likely to forget theirsPUMP and inflating needle - sometimes thegame ball is as hard as a rock or too soft andmay need a little "tuning", the same goes forthe balls kids bring to practice.Kentucky Coach’s Notebook 2008Page 10
Care, Prevention, andSafetyPrevention of InjuriesThe first line of defense in the treatment ofathletic injuries is to prevent them. This isaccomplished by a well-planned program;competition among equal ability groups,proper warm-up and adherence to the Lawsof the Game. Other factors that can lead tothe prevention of injuries are as follows: Proper use of equipment (shin guards,no jewelry, uniforms designed forclimate)Upkeep and monitoring of playingsurfacesProper fitting shoes, proper type ofshoe for surfaceAmple water supply and sufficientnumber of rests and length of restsAvoid scheduling training during thehottest periods of the day and whenthere is intense humidityFull rehabilitation of an injury prior toreturn to play, determined by aphysicianRecommendation of a physical examby qualified personnel prior toparticipationThe coach or assistant coach should beresponsible for assisting with injuries,which should include attending acertified first aid course andknowledge of state and localordinances.It is recommended that the coachfollow-up a player’s injury with aconversation with the player’s parent.Each coach should have and know how to usea First Aid Kit that includes, but is not limitedto: Team Safety and Information Card, plasticbags, and ties for ice, ice, tape, band aids,antiseptic, sterile pads, towelettes, gauzepads, elastic wrap, antibiotic cream andrubber gloves (care should be given to avoidcontact with blood and body fluids and to useproper disposal of items soaked with suchfluids).Care of Injured AthletesThe care of the injured athlete should beginthe moment an injury occurs. Immediatecare will reduce the severity of the injury andpossibility of long term disability. The coach,upon seeing an injured player on the fieldshould: Make sure that the airway is clearDetermine if the player is consciousAsk how the injury occurredAsk the player where it hurtsIf the player is unable to continue, heshould be checked to determine theextent of the injuryAfter determining that the injury ISNOT life threatening, the nature of theinjury can be further determined.Note the position of the injured partLook for swelling and deformityCompare it with the opposite sideTreatment for minor injuries such as sprains,strains, and contusions is referred to asR.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, andElevation). The R.I.C.E. treatment is the onlyfirst aid treatment that is safe treatment for asports injury without professional advice. Thetreatment helps in three different ways.R.I.C.E. treatments, limited to 20 minutes,Kentucky Coach’s Notebook 2008Page 11
can do no harm to any type of injury. Almostanything else (including heat applications)can cause harm in some instances. Applying ice chills the injured areacausing the blood vessels to contract,closing circulation to the injured areaApplying pressure with an elasticbandage inhibits the accumulation ofblood and fluids in the area, therebyminimizing pain and swellingElevating the injured area decreasesfluid accumulation to the injured area,puts the area to rest, and helps toreduce painful muscle spasmsSome Familiar terms coachesshould know:Sprain – ligamentsare bands of tissuethat attach bone tobone and stabilizejoints. A sprain isan injury to one ormore ligaments.Strain – a tearinginjury to a muscle ora tendon (tendonsattach muscle tobone).
