Value of Coaching
Education Malek Ben- Musa
Cohort 6
January 29, 2016
The Value of Coaching Education cannot be quantified in simple terms.
Many variables allow a coach to influence the life of a child, teenager, or
an adult.
Education of Coaches allows for improvement in
the following:
• Knowledge of the game
• Technical, tactical, physical, psychological of players and teams
• Education of parents, staff, managers and others involved
• Experience in and around the game of soccer
• Personally, socially, and culturally
• Guidance on and off the field
• Individual and team
• Sharing Life Lessons
• Accountability, responsibility, community
• Mentoring players, coaches and others in the game
• Counseling, teaching how to teach, guiding their career paths
Below is a gift that hangs on my wall, given by one of
my teams about what a coach can be to a team…
Knowledge of the game of soccer
The 4 pillars of Youth Coaching by Ken Sweda , April 20, 2012 (cit. 1)
Technical
The ability and skill of an individual player to manage the ball and develop a relationship with the ball.
Tactical
Considered a “double edged sword” if introduced too early will hinder a player’s development
Focus on technical development, allowing the game to teach itself is a prudent and effective way for it to be taught.
Physical
The development of the physical attributes of a player including speed, strength, agility, and overall athletic ability. Unfortunately, the youth of today maybe losing on their “ physical literacy” because of lack of free play and or cross sport training due to specialization of sports.
Psychological
The psychological attributes and traits of children is the most problematic, misused, and underused pillar in youth coaching. This aspect would allow coaches who improve their coaching education greater success in developing players.
Knowledge of the game of soccer
Education of parents, staff, administrators, and others involved
(Cit.2)
Soccer Coaching education has been available for over 40 years.
Every US soccer organization from the smallest to the largest offers education
starting at the U6 age.
75% of volunteers have no formal soccer education
Coaching education classes vary from 1 day to over a week for diplomas and degrees
Coaching Education can raise retention rates not only with players, but also
coaches, staff, managers, administrators and other volunteers
Education also gets everyone on the same page and informed thus keeping
arguments between parents, coaches, administrators, to a minimum.

Experiences
• Personal Experiences
• Coaching education can come from various experiences
including personal moments
• Social Experiences
• Memories, bonds, friendships can all help a coach give
them teaching points that are effective
• Cultural Experiences
• It’s the “Beautiful game” and travel to different
cultures and places can be life changing and inspiring
for coaches. These experiences can be shared with
players, teams, other coaches and their families
The game of soccer and the coaches have the ability
to foster and build a higher level of awareness,
diplomacy and cultural relevance
Experiences
Guidance
It is possible that a coach may only need to guide a team and
over-coaching may just get in the way of positive results.
Positive results may mean winning, but it may also mean
improving individually and or as a team.
Stats can help show this overall improvement
These can be as easy as shots on goal, how many times the ball was
stolen from the other team or how long we had possession.
Stats are just another tool to be used by a coach
Among my favorite coaching maxims, “I have given you a lot of
tools to use and you can either build yourself a shack or a
mansion of soccer….your choice.”
Guiding instead of coaching can allow players to figure it out for
themselves.
Soccer teaches itself
Life Lessons
Life lessons is “something from which useful knowledge or principles can be
learned” (cit. 4)
Coaches use these “Life Lessons” to put things into perspective or to show a
teaching point that can resonate with a player or team
Anna-Lesa Calvert speaks in this video and how much a coach can effect a
player or team (cit. 5)

Life Lessons
Accountability
Accountable for yourself and team
Responsibility
Responsible for yourself and team
Community
Helping others who are less fortunate can help you
appreciate what you have
Cartoon(Cit 7)
Mentoring
Mentoring can occur with someone older or younger and it a relationship that develops with
someone of expertise and person who is willing to learn
Mentoring is a great tool for a coach to develop others
Mentors are parents, coaches, teachers, colleagues, and others as well
Mentors can share wisdom, knowledge, experiences, and skills
Mentors also are concerned about your well being and career path
(Cit. 9&10)
Who Mentored Me?Mentors have been a great part of my life and I have been blessed to have many…
Ron Kessler –Life coach
Mentors play a great role in coaching education and could mean the
difference in retaining a coach, player, parent volunteer and administrators.
The Value of Coaching Education
The Value of coaching education is not quantified in simple terms.
In other words it can not be as simple as wins and losses
The education of a coach can come in various ways
Knowledge
Experience
Guidance
Life Lessons
Mentoring
These points can all add up to an education that no real value can be placed.
It is up to the individual coach/teacher to use his/her knowledge and
experiences to pass on to the next generation. Their efforts will guide and
mentor others and impart life lessons that can be used throughout their lives.
I dedicate this presentation
to Collin Lovett, who passed
away in January 2014. It
was an honor to coach him
and be part of his life. A
great team player in every
way. He is greatly missed.
May he rest in peace.
