I think there's nothing wrong with trying your best but you should always want to be the best at what you do. i breathed and lived soccer and track during my youth and i had the drive to be the best and i was alienated because of the skill gap between my peers. I plan to teach your kid to be the best but still keep the humanity and level head you see most gifted children miss. A little about me is right out of high school i joined the army as an 11B which is infantry. I have the discipline and commutation skills to teach. I never took soccer further because i decided to join and got hurt during my service so i live with a lot of what ifs when it comes to these sports. My dream is help your kid reach levels and skills they never dreamed of and further. If you think your kid has the making to be above average or the desire to be more then they are now in any field and has the drive I'm the coach to fawn those flames and help them reach a world stage one day. I love these sports and want to help kids reach levels they never dreamed of like i did as a kid; because of my love for the sport and desire to teach my prices will be very low and manageable.

Soccer- the thing that has always separated kids in soccer at this stage is stamina, who has the strength and stamina to be on the field the whole time the clock is running. The big thing i would focus on with your child is they're overall stamina and ability to go short burst even when drained. The other big thing would be the child's core, believe it or not a lot of the more advanced dribbling and movement require a strong core when combined with kicking plus a strong core just helps stamina. I would go over very basic or advanced playstyle based on your kids skill level and help them find the position that best suites them. An example of this is i was a left wing and striker and for most of my time and i excelled in these area's but when i got older i got put at fullback because the coach realized i had a quick brain and was able to move the field how i wanted. So i was still able to score goals but my skill was more utilized there. I'll be helping your child gain basic skill base in all areas. There's more but i figure it may be easier to talk about plans then make a huge long list
Track- will depend on the event
A typical training session will look differently based off of time.
The longest and most advanced training I would offer is for 3 hours, this would cover these things:
- Stretching
- Running
- Dribble base drills
- workout
- teaching playstyles/movements
- special skill (varies on child's specialty)
- goal scoring on complicated angles
- sprint work
- free kicks
- cool down jog
- stretch
- overview and comments/ suggestions
Other sessions would be a mix of these depending on the time
Truthfully i have no coaching background besides volunteer coaching i did in the army
The best coach i ever had was my old WMCA coach, I can't say any coaches that taught me were my favorite besides him because they put me on a pedestal and always made me believe i was the best which was true for the area i lived in. I got a big head and it drove me further from my peers. That coach taught me there wasn't truly a I in team and that there were always better players then me out there. He taught me there was nothing wrong with being the best but to do that i had to have the humility to accept i could always get better and learn from those around me. He taught me how to play with an actual team and for that I'll forever be grateful. There is never a point in being the best if your celebrating alone
I was truly in love with the sports soccer and track, I was in the foster system my whole life since birth because of drug parents. Sports was always an outlet for me, there was nothing better then running and the burn in your muscles. Soccer was very much like the air i breathed to live. I was always improving and getting better and furthering the skill gap between the people i knew. I was in the army for 4 years and have learned a lot in that time and skills that truly will make me a better coach.

We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!

Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times.
