I ran my first soccer practice yesterday. It went very well. I've got 9 kids on my team, including my two, and we played a lot of games. I made it clear to the parents that my goal is not to win the World Cup, or even to pressure the kids into winning their games, but rather to teach them the fundamentals of playing soccer and having fun. One of the things I said clearly was "Even if we lose every single game we play I will consider this season a success if the kids come back for the spring season".
I truly mean that.
And the great thing with coaching at this level (U-6) is that I get to be a big kid.
