Honest reflections from Arsene Wenger.
Work / Life balance ⚖️

Just in case someone asks…

▪️I believe each coach imposes a philosophy of football regardless of what others may name it.

▪️ I believe that triangles and diamonds are fruitful and purposeful whether assigned to one philosophy or another.

▪️ I believe the variety of styles breathes life into competition and diversity within the game is an asset.

▪️ I believe Johan Cruyff and his approach to attacking, dynamic football has inspired me and so many worldwide; so if you ask me which flavor I personally prefer it is teaching/playing football as fluid chess.

▪️ I believe that “panic, boot it and run” football, line drills, and traditional training prejudices significantly the development of intelligence, skill and character in our youth players.

▪️ I believe that sport is much more than a trophy.

▪️I believe that the coaching industry is so deeply rooted in poor pedagogical practices that a respectful and rebellious alternative must be offered so I built the #TOVO Methodology to question the status quo and to serve children better.

▪️I also sincerely believe that if you are inspired by any brand of football and it gives your life energy and excitement, than the beautiful game has yet again served an exhilerating purpose.

Not that you asked but…

🙏👏🏻👍

Dear Parents ✏️

The coach screaming incessantly on the sidelines is NOT necessarily more passionate or more capable than the quiet coach; he is just louder.

Parents & Pundits

I have met very few parents who can divorce the assessment of a performance from the result of that performance.

Losing or winning anchors and ultimately distorts a fruitful analysis.

How many golf tournaments feature two Olympians? Today's @MUCougars Garinger Memorial at Irem Golf Club had @muwomenwrest Ken Chertow, Team USA '88, and @34billy42, Team Canada '84 in the house.

How many drills do you throw out of your portfolio if your main objective is to train all three in context? 🤔

▪️Vision
▪️Decision
▪️Precision

I threw away hundreds and my athletes are better for it. 👍

Dear Parents

Your child not starting a competitive match is not coach bullying or abuse by nature.

11 start. Others do not.

When you sign up for competitive football or college soccer, that is the reality.

The higher you go, they greater the challenge.

D1.D2.D3 Nonsense

A “D” and a # are far less significant than you may think.

Find a college that inspires you and all will be well.

@ImCollegeSoccer Uncommitted 2023’s the next 2 weeks are important to evaluate where you are in the recruiting process. If you’re still “waiting” to hear back from D1 schools, it is unlikely there will be an opportunity. (1,500+ in NCAA Portal) Don’t put all your eggs in 1 basket

There's a trend playing out in coaching that we need to be paying attention to.

Good coaches are quitting, preferring to walk away than put themselves and their families through the lifestyle.

Sports should be the bastion of leadership, not the industry leaders are fleeing.
