I am a soccer coach living in Fredericton, N.B.

@BrynnNash10 @fatbertt Are there options for clubs that aren’t in a participating province?

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@DavidMcCarthy09 Congrats Dave!

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@Russcher Yes like a coaching license or diploma, a bachelor degree is only a single part of a much bigger story. I feel like in a job ad, we are just trying to provide a guide for characteristics we think may improve potential for future success.

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@Russcher For me achieving a bachelor’s degree is an indicator of ability to follow a multi year process, with the aim of completing a big and initially daunting project. There are many ways to demonstrate this ability but the degree is a pretty clear indicator.

@RayDoesData Is that good or bad?

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@swanguardians @colinelmes Keji returned from @TSSRovers a more focused, and complete footballer. His environment this summer clearly helped him take another step in his journey. We are lucky to have had a series of Rovers join our program over the last 3 years, and all have been great additions.

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@AdamFGrimmer @RayDoesData @mchardie Good thing we didn’t get to find that out.

@docrinki @PicaroonsSoccer @mccainfoods @NBPSL @picaroons @Jaycvandy @mchardie @BrentStaeben @Kunky We won’t have the tailgate set up this weekend unfortunately, but we will on Aug 11 for the Challenge Cup finals.

@Jaycvandy @JonCrossland19 This shows the impact a coach can have. I watched @JonCrossland19 explain the concept of time wasting at camp 2 weeks ago, giving the player the tools needed to explore the concept again several times during the games at camp. This is an example of gaining mastery.

An outstanding young man, proud of what he has accomplished here at UNB, and excited to see what the future holds for him.

@ciaramccormack @ciaramccormack what would be your KPI? Building Confidence, Competence and Connection are at the core of the coaches role for me.

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@Jaycvandy @oliverdueck @robhoadley If only our soccer facilities were like the Playhouse, and we could manage the facilities, reinvest all of our user fees into them, and then turn to the city for replacement when maintenance is really costly. We would all win!

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@Jaycvandy @sipaceonearth @robhoadley Jason is that your pitch to chair the bid committee? No doubt if you can get together 15-20 people keen to put in the effort to fund and host the games it can be done! I bet there are lots of local sport organizations that would love to commit to facility rental for years to come

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@mattyoung101 I couldn’t agree more. The ADM/LTAD model really don’t account for socio-cultural differences between sports, or between the same sport in different regions. Thanks for clairifying, and giving me some food for thought.

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@mattyoung101 Do you have a preferred model that you encourage orgs to work with? Do you see ADM/LTAD as being info to base an organizations model on, and simply adapt to the context of their sport? Really curious about your approach here.

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@ciaramccormack Fully agree Ciara! Totally necessary. Even with the system, we will still need a culture that supports reporting and accepts the oversight.

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@ciaramccormack I agree with you for sure. Independent reporting mechanism will be massive. To make change we all have to be brave and do what is right. Parents have to be brave to report and clubs have to be brave to address the issues brought forward. It is hard for all.

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@ciaramccormack We then have a responsibility to support and educate coaches and parents, on what is abuse how to recognize it and how to discuss the impacts. Work with well intentioned individuals to improve their behaviour and release individuals who aren’t able to meet standards!

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

@ciaramccormack @ciaramccormack this is something I think about non-stop as someone in a soccer Org. It is important for organizations to recognize we are only liable if we know about it and do nothing! This means the most important thing for us to do is hear parents, and act.

[Barry Morrison @coachbmo]

These 3 will have a measurable impact on our program over the next 4-5 years. Really excited to see all grow and develop.
