4. HBHS Women’s Soccer 2005 14 June 2005 Coaching Philosophy  It’s a Player’s Game  We recognize that soccer is a game that simultaneously… -humbles and inspires -punishes and rewards -requires outstanding team play and individual play -demands creativity but also structure  Our role as coaches is to create an environment in which successful chemistry is created by bringing out the best in each player… -by recognizing that every player is different, -by building confidence in each player’s ability to contribute and play beautiful soccer, -by encouraging players to take risks (always with the knowledge that she will be supported by her coach and teammates)  Provide the technical, tactical, physical and psychological training to enable our players to “solve the problem”

5. HBHS Women’s Soccer 2005 14 June 2005 What’s Different about Coaching Young Women ?  Train them like men, treat them like women  The social fabric of the team and the desire (need) to “fit-in” is much more important with young women than with young men  The “performance bar” will be influenced by the coach but shall ultimately be set by the team leaders  Individual excellence should be encouraged not only by the coach but by all of the players-Role models (from within the team) are vitally important  Cliques are poison  Hazing of any sort (class-based prejudice) will have no place in this program

6. HBHS Women’s Soccer 2005 14 June 2005 Goals, Roles and Responsibilities  Win the Class I Championship in 2005 and do so in a manner that has opponents, fans, friends and neighbors awed by the quality of play, intensity of play and sportsmanship on and off the field  Set specific team goals at the beginning of the season and review them often (e.g. no 1-0 losses; no goals allowed in last five minutes of half; 100 goals during regular season, etc)  Understand your role and accept the responsibilities of that role  Abide by all NHIAA and HBHS rules & regs – if you make good, smart decisions in the course of managing your affairs, you will have no problems complying with NHIAA guidelines  Stay ahead of your academics – don’t be satisfied with keeping your GPA during soccer season – raise your grades! -Help your teammates with your special skills (especially the freshman!)
