You’re going to face adversity your entire life. It’s not a choice. How you respond to it is.

People who rush forward in planes from the back as soon as they get to the gate should be fined. Immensely. Change my mind

Club soccer tournaments should never encouraging losing.

Coaching in a tournament this weekend (U17). 2 groups in our bracket. Winners of the groups play in championship, and second place from each group plays in a… second championship with winners from both going to bigger tournaments. The loser of the real championship? Nothing.

If you’re wondering if that created an environment where folks talked about tanking games and genuinely wanted to avoid the real championship… you can wonder no further. It absolutely did.

Great stuff.

[Greg Gilmore @CoachGreg603]

If you got the energy to fight after a bad loss you probably didn’t expend enough energy earlier to try to win the game.

NIKOLA JOKIC GOES AFTER JADEN MCDANIELS FIGHT BREAKS OUT. OH MY.

@Chrissao_ @THEChrisKessell You could also look at this and say… wow… maybe those 54 and 16 teams belong in the same league so we’re working to create a more stable environment.

54 out of 91 might be better than 16 out of 90… but it’s still terrible.

[Greg Gilmore @CoachGreg603]

Maybe I’m just old and grouchy but I have found there is a surplus of coaches in the NPL that think coaching is yelling and complaining to Reffs and have no issue if every game ends in a near fight. It’s like it’s normalized. Just insane.

Please pass this new eligibility rule. Seriously. Let’s let pros stay pro and 18-23 year olds do the college sports thing.

How about that?

Zero stars don’t recommend.

Being a head college Coach and coaching Club Soccer in the spring is wild. One day I’m winning a national championship. The next, some 13-year-old is mocking something I say while being cheered on by a coach in jeans.

@d3hoops @HopkinsSports @CentennialConf Have you ever seen a worse out of bounds call at 56-53? That’s brutal. Send this to @BWWings for their next commercial.

[Greg Gilmore @CoachGreg603]

The non-technical mistakes this Leicester City team makes are amazing. Maybe the staff needs more coaching licenses.

[Greg Gilmore @CoachGreg603]

Disappointed to be right

[Greg Gilmore @CoachGreg603]

Not much longer till a pro player in basketball or football sues to play in college again.

[Greg Gilmore @CoachGreg603]

After perusing LinkedIn I have come to the conclusion that my biggest hope in my sport is that at some point, there is less gatekeeping and a massive evolution of how soccer coaching education is implemented and used.

It seems there is a license (and several levels) for just about everything there is now. For perspective, if this was basketball, we’ve reached a point where a basketball coach would need a license to teach a 12 year old how to shoot a free throw.

Coaching education should be a good thing, but it’s morphed into extreme gatekeeping and elitism. It also, in my opinion, draws too much attention away from certain aspects of coaching: the human elements.

How complicated is the game of soccer? Is it truly that much more complicated than basketball? Baseball? In baseball you have a whole position (pitcher) truly 100% different than the others. Last I checked, professional pitching coaches don’t need to hold a level A pitchers license to do their job.

How about American football? Consider the complexities and techniques of the different positions.

Consider what these other sports don’t do, and look at the barriers coaches face in soccer. If you looked at all the different licenses, the levels and their descriptions, you’d be excused if you thought the sport was more complicated than landing a spaceship on mars.

Something has to change.
