The coach's role in building routines.
It can take a tremendous investment of effort by the coach to develop new routines, but the cost of not making this investment can be high.
Tonight's OE Men's Soccer Team game against Columbia Rock Bridge. Former Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo said that U.S. players are not taught technical skills at an early age and that ultimately affects the quality of play in Major League Soccer. I will agree with this statement.
Hawks started slowly and didn't control much the ball until the 34 mark. The game was very physical, there were a lot of running. Sometimes I want to scream to my son, "stop running". Around the 15 mark, Julien saved a throw in by kicking the ball back to Blake who crossed it to Connor. Connor controlled the ball and push into the goal. Goal! The first half concluded shortly after Jesus made a great stop among a swarm of Rockbridge offensive activity inside the 6 yard box.
Half time 1 - 0 Hawks
Second half was pretty much the same. A lot of running. I was tired just by watching them! Our second goal came in the 33rd minute when Shane stole the ball in the middle of the field and ran forward. In front of him, Julien was running too. Shane passed the ball to Julien who lobbed the GK. Goal!
Hawks got a free kick against them around 25 yards. The ball went above everyone and they scored. Now it was not panic time but when you don't have any routines, you don't possess the ball and there are 3 more minutes to play. You never know in soccer!
Final score 2 -1 Hawks!
