Coach's
Pal Series (Local)
Coaching
help from Russ Carrington, author of Thoughtful Soccer: the
Think-First Approach to Playing and Coaching.
The
local area (Southern Maryland)
Why
a Coach's Pal Series?
You
can learn a great deal about Thoughtful Soccer by participating
in a clinic or reading the book. But there is still no guarantee
that you'll apply the method as effectively as possible.
The
Coach's Pal Series leaves no doubt. Russ will teach you the method
by working with you and your team. He'll observe you and your team
on match day, to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses. And he'll watch
you run your own practices, stepping in as necessary to help them
go smoothly.
What's
Included?
-
Two
Team Clinics in which Russ works with your team and teaches
you the skill games, scrimmages, and Coachable Moments
-
Two
match observations, in which Russ watches you and your team
in action and identifies strengths and weaknesses
-
Two
additional Team Clinics in which you run the skill games and
scrimmages, and introduce Coachable Moments, with Russ' assistance
- Whatever
else you need to feel comfortable with the approach
How
is the series arranged?
For
more information on the Coach's Pal Series, please Contact
Russ and include at least one phone number. I'll then contact
you to discuss the program and your scheduling needs.
