Warren Buffet might not know soccer, but when he said, “Tell me your heroes and I’ll tell you how your life will end up”, he was onto something. When it comes to coaching, everyone wants a say but few are willing to turn their words into action and take a team… even under 8′s which is where yours truly started. How can You enjoy coaching soccer?
Let me count the ways:
One of the secrets of stress management is managing your time effectively. As the saying goes times flies. Knowing exactly where it flies puts you one step ahead of the game. When your ineffective with time management you feel like time as gone by but you’ve accomplished nothing. Over the years technology was suppose to give us more time. Just look at the microwave oven, vacuum cleaner, the automobile, internet and cell phone and the list goes on. Yet we still seem to have little time to accomplish all the things we want to do everyday.
When you try to do it all, you usually end up doing a lot of things poorly. The television sitcoms and movies give the impression that you can do it all. Take a look at any movie or sitcom and watch as both parents work full-time, come home to prepare a nutrition meal. Take the children to football practice, soccer practice, dance school. And of course the children have already completed their homework before their parents got home. At the of the day everyone is home happy and in bed by 10:00 PM. I don’t know about you but I thing this family is a fraud. It doesn’t exist or at least it doesn’t exist in my world. We just have too much to do with too little time to do it.
