Soccer Coaching Tips-What Makes A Good Soccer Coach Great?
Throughout my soccer career, i came across a number of Soccer Coaches who all had different styles, ideas and personalities. At the pinnacle of any sport, especially soccer, the top teams of any league are separated by the smallest of percentages. On any given day, the bottom team can in fact beat the league leaders. So how do we distinguish between a good coach and a great coach?
Some of the characteristics needed to be a good soccer coach are
- Good Man/ Individual Management Skills
- Good Communication Skills
- Eliminating team or club politics
- and a good set of tactics or vision.
The best coaches I’ve worked with simply had all the above boxes ticked and placed great emphasis on Man Management Skills and Communication.
A great soccer coach is able to control his team and get his message to the players as a group or on an individual level. Back in the good old days when i was alot younger, the coaching styles were totally different to what we have today. In the past coaches used intimidation and installed fear into the players to get their message across. These coaches who used to rant, rave and intimidate players wouldn’t survive in today’s modern soccer.
The great soccer coaches of today get to know their players. They talk to them and try to wok out what makes this individual tick. How can i get the best out of this player? Today’s coaches are more like father figures, obviously the coaches who are poor in this area tend to struggle.
After spending many years in soccer, the conclusion i draw is that great coaches had the ability to change direction and challenge the status quo. They were not set in their ways or their training methods. Also the coaches that stood out for me were the ones who had a great personality and remembered that life is always bigger than the game.
