  2. Workshop Schedule Sessions covered a variety of topics useful for Coaches Parents Administrators Referees Some presentations (marked with *) are available at https://app.box.com/s/9jt277fqcdoaa9ofow4v83vsmq6x123c Presentations were videotaped, but have not been posted

  3. Performance Analysis for Individuals and Teams * Interesting points: • Retained info after 3 months: Told = 10% & Show = 32% & Player input = 65% • Feedback is key to development and visual feedback is best • We are not effective observers and our recall is error prone • To introduce player self-analyze, consider a team meeting with parents included Questions: • What video analysis software does SYSA have? • Do we need/have permission from parents to videotape games or practices?

  4. ACL Injuries: Anatomy, Risk Factors and Prevention * Interesting points: • Presenter is willing to meet with teams to screen players for risk of ACL and/or knee injury • > 65% of ACL injuries are non-contact • Females are 10x more likely to have non-contact ACL injuries than males • PEP and F-Marc+11 programs can provide significant reduction of ACL injuries WHEN administered by skilled personnel • PEP and F-Marc+11 are good, but not enough - not progressive; not intensive enough; need to be part of training • Important to start education early (before middle school?)

  5. ACL Injuries (cont.) There are many sites with information on preventing ACL injuries, for example: • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3435901/ which verified effectiveness of the following • http://sportsmetrics.org/ • http://smsmf.org/smsf-programs/pep-program • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4413741/ which verified effectiveness of F-Marc+11 (aka FIFA 11+)

  6. Creating a Winning Environment Only attended briefly, but like the idea of using the following to motivate training: What you can’t control Opponents, Referee, etc. What can you control Effort, Training, How you react to what you can’t, etc.

  7. Massachusetts Small Sided Games Diploma – 9v9 • One of 3 sessions for earning a Massachusetts NSCAA diploma • Not sure which diploma this is since NSCAA development courses are 3 hours minimum • Not as helpful as US Soccer F License (or even the old G License) • Main point was that formation doesn’t matter – what matters is understanding how to use it

  8. Communication with Parents * Interesting points: • VCR - Validate (e.g., "I feel badly that this is happening"), Challenge (e.g., "I wonder if there is a better way to ..."), Request • Apologize when appropriate and be sincere - Validate, Take Responsibility, Explain why it happened, Why it won't happen again, Apology From Coaches’ Discussion: • 24 hour cooling off period after games before any game discussions. • Social media rules • A list or a discussion of common issues (and how to respond) might be helpful

  9. Mental Warmup for Youth Soccer * Interesting points: • We consider a physical warm-up important, why not a mental warm-up to get players ready to execute mental skills ? • Done after physical warm-up • Presentation includes link to an sample mental warmup script • Part of warm-up could be each player picks their objective • Cues used during a game to re-focus players – “let’s play our game”, “control the controllables” – can be worked into the mental warmup. • To counter roadblocks: • Integrate into what you already do - “make it your own” • "Elite teams do it“ • Start simple and progress

  10. Nutrition and Hydration for Health and Performance * Standard (and useful) info and includes the following to get athletes’ buy-in: What are the favorite foods on the National Team's menu?

  11. Get the Knowledge Pass it on by The Coaching Manual * Motivations for development of this online product include: • The game, and older players, is no longer the teacher.   What are the implications? • For example, terminology and the game understanding it teaches, is lost. • I wonder if, the amount of structured play and training has reduced players’ tendency and ability to be creative and to train on their own.

  12. Miscellaneous Coaches’ Discussions Were part of 2 sessions I attended and were very enjoyable and helpful Are there ways for SYSA to encourage such discussions?

  13. Questions or Comments?
