My approach for players and coaches development are: � � � Overview of Coaching Roles • Assist in or lead the delivery of progressive training sessions and a holistic learning environment • Tailor sessions to the ages of the players worked with, focusing on ball control and basic fundamentals at an early age • before implementing sessions that encompass more tactics and game understanding as the players get older • Ensure sessions are always enjoyable and encourage players to progress by providing them challenges to overcome • Identify weaknesses in individual player’s overall game and in turn work with the player to strengthen these areas • Ensure players evolve not only on the pitch but off it as well, offering guidance and support in issues involving off field activity • Liaise between other members of a coaching team on all issues regarding player progression, coaching techniques, team Organisation, playing style, etc • Oversee all arrangements involving training venues, team kits and boots, ground staff, etc • Act as a point of contact for players’ parents on their child’s progression, enjoyment and how best to develop skills at home • Staff recruitment, player scouting and selection, game and tournament organisation
My Philosophy My objective as a coach is to have players learn but also enjoy football. “Players should be able to play without the fear of failure and the emphasis on not to win at all cost, but to win within the laws of the game ” My objective as a coach educator is to develop coaches who are able to produce players with high technical excellence and strong tactical intelligence “As a coach, Alan is a natural leader. He has demonstrated all the qualities of an effective teacher, while possessing a natural enthusiasm and love for the game. These characteristics have been exemplified in his coaching sessions, Alan’s preparation and organisation to every session he has coached is a direct testament to his professionalism, it reinforced the pride he takes in his work and his dedication to the improvement of all players he works with. ” Stuart Baxter Head Coach Kaiser Chiefs South Africa
