Introductory Statements 4 Generations in Society Today Generational Lens Approach Why ? …. Whatever ! …. So What ! Helicopter Parents
New Age Mentality
The Coaching Paradigm we’ve been using is past its “expiration date” -- be open to change, explore !
Generation Gap is different (Difficulty dealing with competition and
adversity)
Players are ill equipped PSYCHOLOGICALLY (crisis phone call)
Coach to Player
The player needs to feel appreciated ……… the importance of communication and the
value of roles
Making adjustments will increase the player’s motivation and increase the level of competition within programs
Managing Players’ Expectations vs. Coaching Expectations
Speaking Openly and Honestly without Crushing Hope
4 Generations In Society
Veterans (1922-1945)
Baby Boomers (1946-1965)
Generation X Generation X (1965-1980)
Millennial Generation Y (1981-2000

Coaches / Coaching
Soccer Learning Process Player Centered Learning Model Relationships Generation Gap(s) Expiration Date New Age Mentality Cooperation vs Confrontation
The Soccer Learning Process
1. 10-12 years to develop an established soccer player
2. Thousands of touches per training session
3. Demands of the game are changing faster than ever
4. The Journey of development takes time, patience, great understanding, and a plan
5. Basic fundamentals remain the essence of the game
6. Players must be flexible in playing roles and adaptable to the constant changes
7. Speed of execution is the key factor
Learning Model
Coaching is a TASK of RELATIONSHIPS
Movement from a Coach Centered Approach to a
Player Centered Approach Biggest impact is in our communication
with our players
Dutch Vision
‘The art of asking questions’ It will develop 'clever' & creative
players !
What kind of questions? Open questions, starting with: what, when, where, who, which ? Better not: why?
Asking ????
Asking the right questions will teach the players to make the right choice of the
soccer actions themselves It will motivate them to take responsibility of their own soccer performance
Asking the right questions will improve the players' perception of the complex soccer situations It will enlarge their awareness of the possible soccer solutions
Effectivity
We remember: 10% of what we hear 35% of what we see 55% of what we hear and see 70% of what we say ourselves 90% of what we say and do
ourselves
7 Relationships in Coaching
Coaching is a Task of Relationships1. Self – coaching philosophy, open to change2. Player – communicate, motivate, manage3. Team -- team building, cohesion4. Parents -- clear communication –
expectations5. Player and parent – dealing with stress6. System - dysfunction of the system7. Opposing coach - win at all cost mentality
Club DysfunctionClub Dysfunction
“If you build it, they may come… …But, then the might leave to another
club for more playing time.”

Culture – Art – Science
1. The role of science in sports is becoming very important in identifying essential qualities and characteristics.

Thoughts to Consider
1. How will you train the 6-8-10 year olds today
to compete in the changing game 10 years from now?
Considering the influx of foreign born players:
1. How will including young local foreign born players impact your team and club ?
2. How will it impact competition within the team ?
3. How much might it raise the level of play within your club ?
Closing Comments
Gerard Houllier, FFF: “ If you don’t question and try to upgrade
your methods you will be left behind … you have to be adventurous … that’s how you progress.
Dick Bate, English FA: “ Never before in the history of the game
have so many innovations, changes and shifts occurred in such a short time.
Closing Comments - 2
Dick Bate, con’t: Preparing young players and teams for the
future is the role of the coach, who works largely from a present-day curriculum which is rapidly being overtaken by the game’s forward moving technical and tactical agenda.
Where will the game be in 10 years time and what will the effective coach need in order to produce competitive players in the future?
Closing Comments - 3
With the game becoming a “ world game”, we must include, blend, balance, and compete with the ever-increasing influx of foreign players in our own backyard.
We must also be aware of the background and passion that these players bring to our soccer culture and how it will challenge the balance of ‘old school’ and ‘new school’ thinking.
If you stand still, you fall behind If you stand still, you fall behind !!
Final ThoughtFinal Thought
1. Identify / Develop the ‘elite’ player
2. Expand the potential pool of players
