Alex Moreau has coached youth soccer for 12 years and is now coaching his brother's team. As a new coach, his abilities were limited due to his age. On the first day, he assessed the team and met with parents. Early drills included passing, sprinting, and scrimmages. Alex worked on correcting weak shots, sloppy ball handling, and shooting/dribbling techniques. Throughout the season, he dealt with parent disputes, injuries like an eye injury to Ben, and bullying. By the end, Alex had learned about communication skills and developed a preference for coaching as well as an enjoyment of coaching.
