Wed.Dick BateElite Coaching Manager, English FAField Session“Movement”The session seeks to increase the players understanding of what is known as “movement”.Movement relates closely to support as an attacking concept and is usually about the inter-changes ofposition and roles and responsibilities between two, three or more players simultaneously.Knowing when to change places and what signals predicate these movements are part of the art of footballand can be utilized throughout the pitch between midfield and forward players, between defenders andmidfield players and also between defenders and attacking players. Understanding when, how and whyinter-changes are of value in attacking play is critical to the teaching of their relevance and importance toplayers.Using simple, un-complicated but scaffolded practice enables players to move from some of the techniquesinvolved in successful “movement” to the skill and game decision-making skills that are key to successfulimplementation.Eventually the session will move towards timely combined team movements between players of thedifferent team units.12 2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book

Traditionally, in the athleticsworld captains are chosen to lead a team; given there are a few ways to decided captains.Think of any business, hospital, educational institution, they are all run by some form of a leadershipteam. So, why couldn’t it work in athletics? We proved it can.In the 2012 season, we decided to nix the concept of captains and move more into developing a leadershipteam. Having a dynamic group of seniors, each with her special quality toward leadership, theclass of 2013 gave us a group to implement our vision of a leadership team. We started the process inJanuary of their junior year. After a few meetings to set the foundation, the leadership team started toform.During season wrap-up meetings, I discovered we had something special going on that was morphinginto something greater than once thought. Since the end of the season we have had more meetingsto develop a program wide leadership model that starts the day a first-year walks onto our campus.Thur.2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book19

As coaches, we often have the need forgood leaders on the field and the locker-room but we’re not always fortunate to have one just fall intoour laps, Team sports and soccer more specifically presents ample opportunities for players to be alsotrained and developed into leaders. Therefore, leadership development should be an integral part ofour player development programs.Thur.2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book29

John DeBenedictisExecutive Director, National Soccer Coaches Association of Canada, Technical Staff, Pickering Soccer ClubLecture / Classroom“The Secret to Scoring Goals on the Last Touch: A Psychological Perspective”One extra goal at the right time can change a player’s career or a coach’s career. That’s the potentialpower of one goal. Those few seconds where there is an opportunity to score can be the most influentialin a 90-minute match. They can determine whether your team wins or loses. Unbelievably, most coachessimply touch the surface when coaching the psychological aspects of scoring to the players on theirteam who get the most scoring chances in a game.Playing Striker is a Psychologically Negative PositionThur.According to FIFA Magazine, the most common result in soccer is 1-0 therefore to truly understandthe negative vibes inherent in playing the striker position, think of it in this manner. If there arethree strikers per team who share 90 minutes in a game, that means that only one player of six willleave the game with a goal in 19% of matches and no players will leave with a goal in another 10% ofmatches. Even when 2 goals are scored (23% of matches) only 2 of 6 strikers will leave the game in apositive frame of mind. (Even less should a non-striker score a goal once in a while).In this session the information being presented, which is based on the book The Last 9 Seconds,will help you communicate with the player(s) on your team that will get the most scoring chancesin a game. The mental aspect of the great goal scorer is often the difference between those whocontinuously score goals and those who do not. We will go over the factors involved in theirperformance from a psychological point of view, technical point of view, and tactical point of view.Idea’s will be presented that will help your players recall the key rules to scoring goals in the heat ofcompetition under extreme pressure. Each player is different, and each will respond to different cues.You will need to figure those out for each individual but in this session; I’m looking to provide youwith as many tools as possible to help you coach your key players in The Last 9 Seconds.What can we do to help the player make more correct decisions in a game so that:a) they score more goalsb) they get more chances in a gameTo correct these types of psychological problems, I like to play with the player’s mind a bit andsimplify things for them. Giving them secrets is powerful. Giving them scoring facts is good as well.But making them feel that the scoring facts are their secrets is even more powerful. It’s a bit likeMONEYBALL in baseball.The 4 Fundamental Rules to Scoring Goals1) ____________________________________________2) ____________________________________________3) _ __________________________________________4) ____________________________________________In essence, all goals are scored based on these 4 simple rules“Be Prepared for a Different Kind of Presentation”34 2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book

Sam SnowDirector of Coaching, US Youth SoccerField Session“The Game is the Best Teacher”The game is the best teacher – maybe. It does indeed teach players by showing them their strengthsand weaknesses. However, there must be a proper mix of matches, training sessions, free play andtime off each season. In training sessions a coach must guide the improvement of the players in allaspects of the game, not least of which is the interaction with teammates. Teamwork begins in pairsand gradually increases to 11 individuals playing as a team. The earliest age to play as a pair is U8.For this age group pairs play can occur in the following options: 2v0, 2v1, 2v2, 3v2, 3v3, 4v3 and 4v4.The game-based activities provide young players the chance to solve soccer challenges together.Objectives: nudge players away from seeing the game solely from an ego-centric perspective,communicate with a teammate, cooperate with a teammate and coordinate their actions.1. Paint the GridIn pairs “paint” the grid via passing in a set amount of time. “What’s your plan to paint the wholegrid?”2. 2 vs. 2 to ConesPlay in pairs in a grid wider than long with cones offset. Score by knocking over opponent’s coneswhile defending your cones. “Can you make a pass between the defenders?”3. 4 Goal Shooting ZoneFri.Play 3 vs. 3.

We also analyse : - Resistance to pain - Capacity override MENTAL STRENGTH AND TECHNIQUE Is a technical mistake a matter of technique or a matter of concentration ? Is stress sometimes responsible for major technical mistakes ? There is no technical answer to a psychological problem ! MENTAL STRENGTH AND TACTIC Are tactics a matter of intelligence, analysis, decision making, adaptation ? First and foremost is it not a mental skill ? HOW TO REACT ? Does it work to say : “be focused” to a player unable to concentrate ? NO! The coach must create exercises which are conducive to concentration Ex : Liverpool warm up HOW TO REACT ? - Future professionals often have psychological weaknesses. - With regular and repeated work during training, progress can be made at psychological level,as well as on the physical and tactical. - However, some psychological weaknesses (lack of aggressiveness, for example) sometimesappear to be inherent in the individual’s character and are difficult to improve on. 1 st ADVICE Analyse correctly the cause of the mistake Is it technical ? Is it physical ? Is it mental ? Identify the reason why a mistake is made. 2 nd ADVICE Work simultaneously on technical, physical, tactical and mental aspects What counts is not the choice of exercise, but the factor of favouring, at a given moment,psychological factors vis-à-vis other factorsFri.2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book97

Miguel CardosoUEFA Pro CoachLecture / Classroom“Team Building / Preparation - A Proposal for Elite Soccer Teams”Abstract – Elite soccer has been suffering several changes that have straight influence not only in thegame but also in the preparation processes. Teams must be ready to win from the very beginningof the season and players must be much better prepared to help achieving that requirement.Competitive periods are now longer and fulfilled with competitions bringing new questions thatcoaches must face and solve so that their teams can be competitive during the entire season.This work intends to analyze different aspects of the “team building” of a soccer team, it´spreparation process, from the beginning of the pre-competitive period and in the various aspects of acoach action, such as the planning moment, the characteristics of the exercises and their applicationon the pitch.We will try to give answers to questions such as: what are the key aspects in the preparation processthat coaches must consider? What should we take more in count? How can coaches built up teamswith such lack of time to work? How to manage the need to recover from one game and the need toprepare the next one?Fri.108 2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book

Boundaries: set parameters that are safe and flexible, thought provoking and fun, diverse yet focused2. Trust and care: both in facilitator and team members3. Energy: maintain momentum, strike appropriate balance, maximum participation for maximum #s4. Meaning: help team understand the emerging lessons, assist in transference from TB to the “real world”/soccer, don’t tell players whathappened...help them interpret the experience for themselves, avoid the temptation to Coach and do the “work” for the athletes5. Shared responsibility: allow the team to develop its own skills and take responsibility, too strong or too weak and the team will notgrow, draw all team members out, use common language and shared learning experiencesAPPLE Model of TBASSESS - what is the makeup of the team (age, gender, experience), what do they want to accomplish, how many players, how long havethey been together, level, any props or special needs?PLAN - what activities will focus on those issues, how many, how long, in what order, how much info., be prepared to “think on your feet”,what will work and be fun, how to begin and end?PREPARE - assemble materials, write brief scripts, confer with co-leaders, inspect site, create back up plan and alternative challenges andvariations.LEAD - invite don’t impel, build trust, make players feel comfortable, model appropriate behavior, be clear, simple and enthusiastic, listenand respond, use humor, provide appropriate challenges, have fun; enforce Full Value Contract and Challenge by Choice.EVALUATE - monitor throughout and make adjustments, debrief when appropriate, make it safe to discuss, ask what/so what/ now what,react to what happened, what worked, what to change next time?Debriefing (What?

Dr. Don KirkendallFMARCLecture / Classroom“Coping with Ramadan in Soccer”Ramadan, one of the five primary pillars of the Islamic faith, is a time when Muslims undergo spiritualand physical regeneration by combining intensified prayer with ritual fasting. In coming years, Ramadanwill fall during the summer months and then the spring competitive season. With the steadily increasingnumber of Muslims in the United States who love their soccer, it is not a matter of if you will somedayhave a Muslim player — it’s a matter of when. Be aware that this fast is not a traditional fast, ratherMuslims shift their food and fluid intake to the hours between sunset and sunrise; they still eat the sameamount of food, just at a different time. And this shift will impact training, school, food options, andsleep. Decisions about training time, intensity, when to eat, and more will need to be made in order tominimize any potential impact on performance. The wise coach will be prepared for the challenges thatface the player, team and family because of Ramadan that, if properly prepared, may actually result inbenefits to team dynamics and cohesion.Sat.2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book119

Tom TurnerDirector of Coaching and Player Development, Ohio Youth Soccer Association NorthField Session“The Street Soccer Coach”While street play may be fondly remembered by those lucky enough toexperience soccer without coaches, the majority of kids today know onlyorganized play. The lessons of street soccer included playing real soccergames, with flexible rules, and balanced teams, and competition, and goalscoring. Goalkeepers were optional until the numbers swelled, the kidwho owned the ball was never kicked – too hard, the oldest kids pickedthe teams, and the biggest kids settled the disputes. There was no offside,always a way to win (10 half – 20 wins) and the kids who didn’t come backto defend were often the same kids who learned how to poach goals – lotsof them! From abuse to adoration in under three seconds! Our first soccerheroes were the best kids and we could take as many touches as we wanted.Technical training was on your own.Street soccer may be gone, but the ideals of street soccer are stillfundamental to youth soccer.The purpose of this session is to entertain some young kids by playingsoccer. Lots of it; but with a twist. With only a limited number of hoursavailable for soccer training each week, the modern youth coach has todevelop game awareness and skill and fitness and also make sure that thekids leave wanting more. No laps. No lines. No heavy coaching. Just lots ofplay with a purpose.To add a twist, I have invited a few adults to join in. The most ignored lessonof street soccer is that the older kids taught the younger ones. What youngkids can’t do on their own, can often be accomplished with a little help.Sat.Game on!2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book123

Bryan ThorpDirector of Coaching Education and Player Development, Michigan Youth Soccer AssociationLecture / ClassroomNSCAA Roundtable Disscussion - “Curriculum Conundrum”The conundrum about a curriculum is not its value. The puzzle is its application. Most curriculums aresystematic. Curriculum-centered approaches prioritize the content of the curriculum over the player.The objectives are paramount and the coach leads the education based upon such objectives. Theplayers are secondary in the progression of the curriculum. Hence, two major assumptions are maderegarding the Curriculum-centered approach:1. All Teachers/ Coaches have equal access to facilities and students/ players.2. All students/ players must learn at the same rate. All students/ players enter into the curriculumwith an equal basic knowledge.The assumptions are profound in their effect on learning. Teaching or coaching to the median levelof players does not constitute a journey of successful learning. A team is made up of individuals whoshare a common goal. As the season becomes a journey, there are peaks and valleys. At every turn,the growth and maturation of the team goal is tested. The development of each player can help pushthe journey to success. It is cliché that it takes a village to raise a kid. But, it takes only one person toruin the village. A team can suffer greatly when the goals of the individual begin to divide from theteam.If we can maximize the individual, we can maximize the team!How do we begin to understand the individual in relationship to the team?Discussion topics:I. Would it be valuable to understand the individual and his/ her journey to learn for the benefit of theteam?II.III.Your team is 2-3 about to play on Friday versus a team that is 5-0. What do you emphasize duringthe week in terms of motivation? Is that different for the Top Player who at the moment varies his/her performance levels versus the low level player who enjoys being part of the team?How do I communicate with players to keep them in a learning mode- to be critically thinking problemsolvers?IV.How can I create the right challenging environment? If the learning environment is correct, thenfeedback will be involved in the activity itself to help with learning.Sat.V.

Dr. Don KirkendallFMARCLecture / Classroom“The FIFA 11+”All sports, soccer included, carry a risk of injury. In soccer, injuries are obviously concentrated onthe lower extremity. The most common injury is a contusion, but this rarely leads to any significanttime loss. The top 4 time loss injuries are ligament sprains of the ankle and knee, as well as musclestrains of the hamstrings and groin. Recent research has shown that up to a third of all injuries canbe prevented and over half of selected injuries are preventable through the use of a structuredwarm-up program. The 11+ is a progressive program of running, dynamic flexibility, plyometrics,strength, and agility that serves as a warm-up for training and competition. Using The 11+ prior toeach session is effective for both warm-up and injury prevention.Sat.2013 NSCAA Convention Clinic Outline Book139
