So follow these 10 steps to improve your coaching and lead your team to success!

1. Develop Communication Skills. How you speak, how you listen and in Coerver Coaching how you Demonstrate are really important.
2. Never Stop Learning. The best People I have worked with in my career Juergen Klinsmann, Gerard Houllier, Carlos Alberto Parreiera, Sir Geoff Hurst, all World Cup Champions, told me they still regarded themselves as student.
3. Learn from Mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, that’s okay as long as you learn from them, and don’t repeat.
4. Keep a Healthy Lifestyle. Every Coach is a model to his/her students; young players will copy you, so set a good example.
5. Coach with your heart, not only your head. Young Players need care and attention, winning is not everything at this age. So think before you say anything other than encouragement and praise.
6. Enthusiasm, Encouragement, Energy = Excellence. This is the winning formula to be a good coach.
7. Enjoy your Work. Anyone who teaches football in my opinion is lucky, so enjoy every moment.
8. Concentrate on the performance not the game result. When you are a development Coach, your goal is long term success. In the short term you may lose games, but stick to the Coerver Principles of Individual Player Development and long term improvement is likely.
9. Try and not over Coach. Try and remember be “Simple, Short, and clear in you coaching and when you demonstrate. Young players have usually a short attention span, so use each word carefully.
10. Plan. Even after 30 Years Coaching I never go on the field without a Practice Plan. Spend time making your practice. Be clear what you want to show and how you are going to show it. Write it down.

Influence of Coerver®Coaching in the USA

Coerver Coaching started in the USA in 1985, and to date has programs in over 34 States. Coerver Coaching USA is headed by Chelsea Legend Charlie Cooke.

For over 30 years Coerver Coaching has had a profound effect on the development of both US Coaches and players. Anson Dorrance, USA Women’s World Cup Champion Coach was one of the first US coaches who championed the need to introduce Coerver Coaching into US Soccer in order to improve the technical level of players.

World Cup Champion Coach Anson Dorrance says “USA players are great athletes, have fine physical and mental qualities, now we need to upgrade our technical qualities, I believe Coerver provides a curriculum that can improve the US players technical ability”

Many other respected coaches and players in the USA also became convinced of the value of the Coerver System; this included US Men’s National Team Coach and Technical Director Jürgen Klinsmann and former Coerver graduate Kristine Lilly. Kristine remains a Legend in World Soccer; Two time World Cup Champion and Olympic Gold medal holder.

For players Under 8

Go in the back yard and practice shooting. At that age, because your child does not have any power, shooting technique is actually exactly the same as passing. So your player will be practicing shooting and passing at the same time. Your child will prefer to kick with one foot, but try to get her or him to use their “weaker” foot aswell.

Aged of 8 to 12

Ask them to practice their ball mastery skills. Your players only need a small space and a ball. Ask them to challenge themselves by practicing with their weaker foot or also adding other ball mastery techniques to make the exercise more challenging.

Over 12

For your older players, it is also really important they practice ball mastery. They should also think about air juggling. When juggling they should try and beat their last score. Older players should also add a physical aspect to their training. They need a slightly bigger area but they can practice ball mastery exercises and also full speed Coerver moves which involve explosive sprints after the move. Don’t forget Repeat, Repeat, Perfect!
