0:00 Let's get into talking about what it is that we're doing. The number one thing I want people to understand is you are not coaching soccer. You're teaching soccer,
0:08 and that is a huge difference in semantics in both the way you should be thinking about it and what you're do.
0:14 Because coaching usually infers that you have players who need improvement, who know how to play the game. You have this mental image of what a coach should be
0:22 on the sideline. Maybe they're, you know, they've got the tactics and they're making adjustments. That's not what most of us are doing. We're literally teaching something to kids
0:31 that they've never done before. And once you frame it that way, I think it makes a world of difference in what you do and how you do it going forward. The thing
0:39 is is like what to teach, you get overwhelmed with. There's thousands of drills and videos of run this drill and this diagram on YouTube and Facebook and
0:48 Instagram. Those are all things. The more lines you see on a drill, probably the less likely it is to actually get anything done. Cuz if it takes you 20
0:58 minutes to understand the aircraft routing diagram with the arrows and the dotted arrows and the squiggles and everything else, your kids aren't going to get it either.
1:06 So, put that aside. Let's work on We'll work on what's simple and effective, not what's complicated and overwhelming for you and the kids.
