Kickoff Soccer Camp - June 2011

Our Elite Boys camp was a success. I was amazed at the work and intensity that the boys brought to the camp. Even though the majoring of the campers where my boys, the attitude and spirit was amazing. Usually camps are consider a place to hang and play around but our camps are totally opposite of that. We actually spend more time working on individual skills and also boosting your confidence. The greatest excitement I get is when I see a player who used to struggle in one area of the game and all of a sudden they see the light. I have seen many of our young men improve during the week of the camp.

Enjoy the video above and we are getting ready for our younger age group camp starting July the 11th.

Tryouts

This post is dedicated to the guys that are trying out this Sunday for the ODP, go Team CHINA. Let me start by congratulating you guys on a job well done. According to me y'all are winners, y'all won the most difficult part of this journey by telling yourselves that you want to tryout. You guys have conquered the fear that most guys did not. By saying you are going to tryout that means you already won half the battle as a lot of players are scared to go tryout, and for that I would like to congratulate you guys.

Now lets talk about the second battle which is the actual tryout. The best advice that anyone can give you especially during times like this is to just be yourself. You need to understand what you have and what you don't have. For example, if you are a skillful player with no speed, then stick to the basics, do skillful things and stay away from trying to out run other players with the ball, rather let the ball do the running. Another example is if you have speed but yet not skillful, use your speed to help make you standout. Stay away from trying to dribble the ball too much if you know that's not your strong hold. But I believe since you are trying out, you at least have some of these stuff that I have mentioned above. Now the key is understanding what you have and use it to better help you distinguish yourself from the rest of the players.

Control what you can control and understand that you will not be able to control other things, like say for instant how other players pass you the ball or how the coach feels about you. All you need to do is go out there and give it your best, know that by the time you leave the field you have done everything you can and you played your hardest, but smartest.

Let the rest of the things that is out of your control take care of themselves.

Go Team China

What an interesting Month!!!

We are half way through the ODP sessions. I like small groups. They turn to bring great competition and challenge the kids. As a coach it is very rewarding to see a player maturing with their skills. The funny part is there is not much different working with College kids and the younger ones. Obviously there is different in terms of speed and other stuff but for the most part they all struggle with certain things and it is the coaches job to identify those and help improve them.

Coastal Carolina University played in the Big South Conference this past weekend and we managed to win it. The win guaranteed a place in the NCAA Tournament. The last time coastal won it was my senior year and I was a player and 5 years later we won it again and I was a coach. Is the little things that matters. It might seem like a coincidence but there is more under the covers.

Now we will see how the boys do in the Nationals. Good luck boys.

More to follow.....
