I once coached soccer at a local high school and these young boys 11 and 12 yrs came to class with short black pen marked on the top of their wrists and hands… “What is that for”, I asked, “We’re Mr. Kerr-Bell” they said! Never under estimate your power. There are many coaching videos, courses often run by your local Soccer Club, books and other coaches to help you. A good way to start is to support the coach, be a manager, or gear minder person and learn that way. Showing up to practices to help is also useful. Coaching soccer is a full on commitment that reflects everything the Real Madrid’s and Manchester United coaches experience except the money and chance off being replaced if you lose! So enjoy the rush of excitement and adrenaline that coaching gives on matchday… PS. Look up soccer club directory online in the search box or thumb through your phonebook to find a club near you. Get out there coaching soccer and make a difference and remember, if you are there for the game or kids... you have already won. By Richard Kerr-Bell
