Jamie Birch🔥 • Sep 22Resilience in tough moments needs leaders in the group. Arguing with officials is fruitless once a decision has happened, it won’t change. That mantra needs to come from you and your staff and be something you instil in the players often, it won’t change overnight. Do you have a leadership team in the group? Your captain and the senior players? It’s useful to give responsibility to them to set the mentality but the players will feed from you and the coaches with you.I say to my players repeatedl… See more4Reply

Trevor Charlie • Sep 23@Jamie Birch Thanks Jamie. We do have more senior players and a captain. Unfortunately one of the senior players was involved in at all on Saturday. We do talk about discipline and responsibility. But your comments have made me think how much do we actually put into this side of things? There’s a feeling that it kind of took care of itself, whereas now I think we’ll see a lot of these emotions coming out with several teams in our league as its another stage of learning in the grassroots game.2Reply

Jamie Birch🔥 • Sep 23@Trevor Charlie absolutely mate, emotions are all over the place at this age as well and we have to account for that. Talk about the things that are important to you from a discipline side, consistently, reward with praise those that adhere to it and it’ll turn over time.1Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • Sep 23@Trevor Charlie I coach U11 and we have been calling the occasional bad decision in training for a long time. When the kids complain we tell them that the ref can’t get everything right, so you just have to deal with it and stay switched on. At the start they used to argue back, but now they (mostly) just play on.3Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Sep 23Trevor, great feedback, thank you.I often find that things like the 1-0 game are good for this. The rules are simple -
- You setup a normal game
- Put a time on the clock (5 mins)
- If a team scores, it’s 1-0
- If they score again, it’s still only 1-0
- If the other team score, it’s back to 0-0
So a team can only ever go 1-0 up and have to defend that lead. The other team gain that belief that they are never beaten and can get it back to 0-0 then 1-0 them.Three ways to end the game:
- Don’t tell the players how m… See more

Aaron chijana Banda • Sep 23Despite leadership in the team, the panel at the bentch should avoid starting the chaos when the mistake happen in the pitch. Since players also copy from thier leaders on the betch.3Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Sep 23@Aaron chijana Banda nothing worse for players than the bench constantly complains at the players.Everyone shares that video of Thierry Henry coaching from the bench when he was manager of Montreal as a good example of a knowledgeable coach. I think it is a good example of what not to be like on the bench as the players would be terrified to make a mistake with the constant criticism1Reply

Sean Ancheta • Oct 14@Trevor Charlie what age group is it?What’s great about sports is that it teaches life skills and builds character. I remind the kids that bad calls, momentum shifts, etc is all part of the game. One thing I’ve done is ask the players, “how should we respond to bad calls, getting scored on, etc?” I’ll ask this at the beginning of practice or during preseason. The players are able to think rationally and come up with good answers. I then hold them and myself accountable to the standards they have… See more2Reply

Trevor Charlie • Oct 16@Sean Ancheta I’m working with U15. I do look for opportunities to bring accountability back to players. Like the question. I’ll be using that. Thanks4Reply
