Byron and Speak to Students present 10 coaching concepts to help young soccer players learn and love the game. The key concepts are to teach technical skills and tactics through fun games and drills without lectures or lines; have a practice plan that warms up with the ball and incorporates small-sided games; help players set and achieve goals; bond the team with on and off-field activities; always teach sportsmanship; be positive; develop leadership in all players; and evaluate success based on if players are having fun, improving, and looking forward to soccer. The overall message is train, play and love the beautiful game.
