@PaulSpacey Agree to disagree. The generic arguments complaining about US soccer + referencing favelas has been going on for a while now. It’s low hanging fruit.
Happy to grab a coffee if you are ever in AZ always open to a good spirited conversation and learning from other perspectives
@PaulSpacey Ideas are great + Licensing isn’t perfect, just like no perfect session. The ‘academic’ side + on-field application are dependent. US soccer is giving a framework - not THE ONLY framework.
You can meet a player where they are AND have a plan and process to help them improve.
@PaulSpacey Right on game model - the point is it is yours and are you clear on it?
I think it’s easy to take an absolutist view on these ideas.
Are these all bad: presentations, theory/ideas, methods?
Licenses can improve a coach on the grass if they are open to the feedback.
@PaulSpacey Thanks for the thoughtful response Paul. Having a methodology and game model doesn’t have to be a scary. It’s a positive to know what you want to communicate to your players to help them improve.
Choices have consequences. Consequences can be difficult to go through, but can still be opportunities for growth. Growth won’t be possible when we blame others for the choices we make.
There is so much negativity in the news, on here, and in our conversation. There is a lot of good that doesn’t get attention.
Why is it so much easier to focus on the negative than positive?
Where do our loyalties lie?
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
Matthew 6:24
