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.
