We have plenty of kids with great potential, but we seem to be unable to develop good athletes into good soccer players. From my days as a rookie, recreational league coach a decade ago to the present, I've been climbing a coach's learning curve that shows no signs of flattening out. I've been on a similar learning curve in my professional life. I'm still climbing that curve too. I've found an interesting similarity between soccer and the work place when it comes to managerial styles.
