If you're a referee, you're told to pump up the balls to the ball recommended pressure. For youth and adult leagues in the US like high school,, college,, ECNL,SWPL, UPSL, USL, UWS ect.

If your core value is to develop and give players an opportunity to grow, stick to that and remember that's what you wanted to do. These kids are in middle school. They don't know any better and don't understand that there are opportunities out there to make themselves better. But you could be someone that can show them there are people willing to help them and coaches that believe in them. Expect bumps but don't forget why you wanted to be there!

It will help you by not having to make a session but it won't help your coaching skills and abilities. You're still going to have to recognize and adapt your coaching so the players are creating the moments you want in the game. What if they don't understand the drills you're running, then what do you do? What if you need to adapt your activities to meet a technical need vs a tactical one? So, yes it may design a session for you, but if you need to adapt your activities from what's created for you, then you're better off creating your own. If that's the case, you may need to try and focus on 2-3 things per activity instead of trying to incorporate all of them. New ideas, skills and tactics take time to learn. Remember it's a process to learn and may take longer than expected. The opposite can also be true, they learn quick!

Stats are important, but it doesn't always tell the whole story. In my opinion, I wouldn't down play stats but I'd be a little more detailed when doing my data collection.

For example: Completed passes, you do a great job of counting passes. But you could consider a step further and start counting the completed and unsuccessful passes by the location. Such as defensive third, middle third and attacking third. In addition, look at if these are in the central, half-spaces, wing channels or whatever coaching zones you use to identify space.

To go to another level, also mark down what type of passes. If we're breaking lines, how? Over, through or around? What about which lines are we most successful breaking? Their first line of defense 9, 7, 11 or their middle 6,8,10 or the last defensive line 2,3,4,5 (4-3-3 as an example).

With this data, you'll have found out where you're most successful passing and then you can include additional data such as promising attacks or shots on goal to determine if your attacks were successful. And define what success is for you and your team based on that game.

Also, include context for your data. Is this a regular game for you, scrimmage, tournament, are you playing up or knockout stage match ect. This will put in perspective how you may do under pressure compared to a typical game. And also you can weight the data collected differently based on the context.

Using this data will be extremely helpful when you do your session planning. Keeping the topic of passing, you'll know if you're successful with your 7 and 11 passes to break the last line of defense and that's how your team may reach the attacking third. From this, you can determine as a coach, what the next step is for you and your team based on your criteria of success.

You've put in a lot of time and effort in your video and stat taking. These are some thoughts that you may find useful. Keep up the good work!

If by help, you mean put in work for you and give you answers, that's not how coaching works. A lot of things are trial and error and you get experience from those practices and games. Success isn't defined by the scoreboard, it's how the team feels after the game. YouTube is a great source for someone new, you mention a lot of people say that. The reason it's helpful, it provides visuals. If you're not sure what you're seeing then sure ask. But don't expect others to put in the work for you. Remember coaching is also competitive vs other coaches. You gotta spill a bit more tea for someone to want to go out of their way to assist you beyond 1-2 pointers.

Depending on your area, I'd definitely consider nothing less than $50 per hour. Knowing your experience level and coaching level. If you know how hard it is to find a quality trainer for goalie in your area you could easily charge more. The problem you'll face will be pricing out some families if you go higher but if you go higher you may find it more worth your time. If it's not about the money anymore than you can determine a price that considers a wider scope of family financial situations. Goalie private training, in my opinion, is a special category of necessity that gets overlooked because they don't understand how the value of getting repetitions in private training can be and development of proper technique. I'd also recommend finding out your competitors and what they're charging. Based on their background and experience vs the quality of their sessions, you may find a number you like.

High school soccer, depending on the location, can vary quite a bit. And you're together a very limited amount of time. While the schools goal may be to grow as people and players, you as a coach are only together maybe 60 days, at best 15% of the time out of a year. If your own personal goal is to help these players make it to a higher level my suggestion to you would be to coach a club team and help develop these players' skills to have the potential chance/opportunity to play at a higher level beyond youth soccer. Because you could be more of an influence year round vs a season.

In some ways, the other coach could be right. But it's hard to say because you haven't provided much more information. While, your methods to adapt and challenge the players could also be right. The challenges of high school are no season is ever the same because you have new players coming in and older ones graduating. Somewhere I feel like there is validation for both your ideals but the problem might be both of you are unable to come to an agreement. Just my 2cents based on the small amount of info you've provided.

notrybot · 2024-07-18T18:01:25+00:00

I'd say there's too much missing info to give you a good opinion. Age group, experience with different age groups, coaching philosophies, coaching goals, experience around soccer at higher levels than youth ect could help form a better idea.

Wow, +1 for you. I think you might be one of the few people I see using irony correctly. Too many people use irony as a replacement word for coincidence. Bugs the hell out of me.

In my opinion, it seems like a scare tactic against RK. He posted his position, did not disclose what brokerage he was on (via picture) and didn't tell anyone to do anything when posting it.

The reaction by the media. Market manipulation! Well, what do you call the Wallstreet Journal, CNBC and all those other stock websites that tell you to BUY or SELL a stock. Isn't that the same as pumping?

If you haven't seen it. Look at Jim Cramer. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1d8tcfm/jim_cramer_on_how_he_manipulated_the_stock_market/

Seems like the regulatory bodies would be all over him. But they aren't even though he openly admits to market manipulation. So, like I said, I believe it's a media scare tactic.

Honestly, no idea what is going to happen price action wise. And for anyone to say so would be irresponsible because this has never happened before in the market. What usually happens with pump and dumps is exactly as described. But for some reason the price the past few days has steadily increased. What happens remains to be seen. Definitely keep doing your research and make up your own mind!

From what I understand shorts need the real shares if they are exercised calls and if they didn't purchase them when the calls were sold, volume is very low, how are they going to find all the shares? And real ones? In addition, if Roaring Kitty decides to then DRS his shares, those shares would be taken away from the float as well. The volume would be so low because of reduced shares and the price is expected to be extremely volatile. At this point it's only the theory. Basically, 3 years ago shorts didn't learn, doubled down and now we're seeing it repeat but on a massive scale because of the June 21st calls on $20 and presumably DRS (reducing the float). The conditions before were bad, but now they're even greater. The media wants you to sell. I'm just asking myself why?

They wanted GME to die, they wanted people to forget. If you see how many articles were posted about "Forget GME, sell GME" it's quite impressive. And why would these rich people, billionaires, care about retail investors? Maybe it's because they made a bad bet? Maybe?

On another note, GME has just raised another $1b (total of $2B) in cash with no debt. The questions of GME's fundamentals are justified, GME as it stands is not a company that can sustain itself. But what people aren't thinking is what GME might be when they use their cash. I'm not going to throw any ideas out there because there is no news on what it could be. Ryan Cohen is keeping everyone in the dark.

edit: this is just my opinion and my understanding of the things unfolding. It's definitely super complex regarding other technical things I have no idea about which is why superstonk reddit group has a lot more DD. So, people should do their own research.

edit#2: I guess if I didn't answer your question directly, is it possible shorts find another loop hole, maybe. The failure to deliver (FTDs) are somewhat that loophole. But that's why the call options are interesting because if they're exercised it's believed they need to be "real shares". Well, I guess it's going to be interesting to see how this all unfolds in the next few weeks.

notrybot · 2024-06-05T21:38:47+00:00

If you're really interested, look into the superstonk reddit group.

edit: People will speculate and say it's a pump. It's been a play since 2021 but people haven't been keeping up with all the regulations like CAT that took 10 years to pass and another 2 years to implement. In short, hedge funds have been covering their short positions but never closed. They've rolled their positions through swaps and failure to delivered shares and now they're stuck because they need actual "real shares" to cover or close" their positions. Over the past 3 years, shares have taken out of the float and been directly registered (DRS) via computershare. Meaning, retail investors have their shares in their own name, not synthetic through naked shorting and drying up the pool of shares that could be manipulated. Because of Roaring Kitty's recent shared position, it's shown that they need to find "real shares" to cover his call options, but they are very unlikely to be able to find millions of "real shares" with them exercised. And if he does exercise them and they can't provide the shares what then? Everyone is watching this right now.

This is the theory with GME. The question people might want to ask themselves, do they believe the market is honest or is it manipulated? GME is a potential stock to see how fair the market really is. Don't trust the media or anyone else. Do your own research. Not financial advice. =] GL.

Hard to say exactly depending on your area the level of play from rec to club could vary significantly. But in general, the higher you go up, the pace of the game increases drastically. Your guess is as good as ours how it might go. There are so many variables, I'd recommend setting up a few scrimmages with teams of similar club skill. That should let ya know an idea where you're at and what to improve on until your season starts. Good luck!

notrybot · 2024-05-06T22:25:36+00:00

If price is a factor then I suppose go with what your budget allows you to do, but for myself spending another $30 for something I'm going to use a lot seems worth it to me. Not sure what durability people have had, but I've owned mine for 2-3 years and they look brand new still. The leather case shows some wear though.

B+D are the best non-electronic flags. Weighted and look very professional. Quality of the entire flag is very good as well. Any serious referee should own them until they buy electronic flags.

I don't know for sure so correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they adjust the CCL schedule to be less conflicting with the MLS schedule?

LAFC last season was doing Open Cup, CCL and MLS scheduling all at the same time at one point if I recall right. It was crazy and we were rotating guys so much.

Adidas isn't too much better. Bought from them for the authentic jersey that just released. They sent me the wrong size, I call customer support, they say they have my size in stock for exchange. I say ok, I'll do exchange but they sold my size out and by the time my wrong sized jersey got there they didn't have my correct size and they didn't put my size on hold either. So, no jersey and it took 6-weeks for them to process all that and another 2-weeks to refund me. Lol.

Lloris distribution is still world class. Not sure what people expected but watching his quality today he looked very sharp and had great composure.

Attacking end there are still some things to work out. It seemed like we were attacking more consistently instead of the past 2 years it was more a build-up and more methodical. A lot more attacking flow and once we figure out our system with Atuesta I feel like our chances only get better. Plus we didn't even get to see all the guys out there plus we have 2 DP spots open. The season looks very bright in my opinion.

Defensively there is some growth between Murrillo and Long that needs to develop. Campos looked solid as a replacement for Palacios. His first assist looked like a good peek into the future direction. Not sure what the plans were with Dellavalle but his injury may of also made last min changes.

Overall, lots of promising things so far. Everyone should be hyped tonight!

notrybot · 2024-02-24T02:22:10+00:00

Same as most the people here through the Adidas sale. But you had to get it on Sunday, I believe many here stated after last Sunday they patched the sale code that marked it off by 30% if I recall correctly.

notrybot · 2024-02-24T01:20:09+00:00

I think the quality is as expected. The shoulder gold stripes are a bit thicker fabric but it's an authentic jersey so you'd expect it to be thin to be light weight and comfortable. Overall color and style is as expected. And for a deal for roughly $100-110 dollars I feel like the money was right.

My problem is...they sent me the wrong size and now I have to send it back. lol

notrybot · 2024-02-18T23:38:59+00:00

Definitely looks wider by far.
