This month I am going to determine what the magic attributes of being a great coach are. Hope you all agree. The coach must understand the tactical and technical aspects of soccer. In addition, the great coach must be familiar with the Laws of the Game. Other knowledge that is necessary to the great coach is basic athletic training, which should include having current first-aid and CPR cards, and basic knowledge of care and prevention of athletic injuries.
Experience is another important asset to have as a great coach.
A coach who has played the sport will understand what it is like to be a player, and what it is like to be coached. Additionally, only a player is capable of demonstrating proper techniques. The great coach must have a positive personality. Being easy to get along with, being pleasant to be around, and having a sense of humor is essential to keeping players interested and focused during practice sessions and matches. Humor also eases the tension that can arise from intense soccer workouts.
