So , me and Jimmy are back from our long week in sunny Florida on the USSF ‘B’ coaching course. Eight days of listening, training & coaching was very testing but very enjoyable. By that, i mean on average we we’re spending 8-9 hours on the pitch every day and then in the evening we were having lectures on different topics involving soccer,  tactics, methods, fitness or psychology . Most of the instructors on the course were very good and some were a bit uninterested . The head guy who’s name is Gordon Miller was very good and in fact a canadian guy now working for the United States Soccer Federation( Says a lot for the CSA ). The course was very organized and went into good detail about what a coach needs as a base to become a successful manager. We met some great people down there on the course as well, ranging from Josh Wolfe (Kansas City & USA) to very renowned college coaches from all over the US. It was good to see & hear other people’s opinions on the beautiful game and also see coaches ideas and practices put on show in front of everyone. All in all i thought it was a very beneficial week for us both and will definitely help us in the future with whatever we decide to do once our playing careers are over.
