Interested in becoming a KO United soccer coach? Not sure that you know enough to become a coach? Join the club!! Many of the current KO United coaches had no soccer experience when they started coaching at the youngest in-house levels. There are plenty of resources available to help you along and all of the current coaches are more than willing to help you get started on the right foot.
Why coach?
- It is a great way to give back to your community.
- It is incredibly rewarding to watch the physical and emotional growth of players.
- You can have a profound effect on the lives of the kids you coach.
- You will learn a lot about yourself.
- It is FUN!
Wondering what makes a good coach?
- Patience, patience, and yes....more patience
- Understanding that no two players are alike and that they must be coached accordingly to ensure growth
- Ability to not take yourself too seriously, especially with the youngest groups
- Willingness to let players make mistakes and use those mistakes as teaching moments
