Elite Futsal Canada

12/02/2022

n 2015 I was hired by the United Nation’s Association of Canada for a contract regarding the FIFA Football for Hope Program.

My main job was to create and Coach an Indigenous soccer team to compete in the Community Cup. As a side bonus I got to bring them to The FIFA Women’s World Cup games in Ottawa.

Funny what you find when you’re going through boxes! 🏆⚽️🇨🇦

I want to know what you think! Should adult female players PLAY DOWN to save other teams’ feelings?

Would we ask adult males to do the same?
Is this a double standard in sport where females need to « be nice »?

I want to know your thoughts on this!!

Sport Coaches! This is for you!!!
I am sharing the Team Guide Template I created that allowed me to focus on coaching my athletes instead of managing communication issues.

From introducing the Team Staff and specifying who to call when, to enforcing my no "parental sideline coaching" policy and best of all the "Conflict Resolution Checklist" - this template can easily be customized to your needs with a free Canva account. Drag and drop your Bio photos, your team photos and modify the text to reflect your details - I have done all of the heavy lifting for you!

For $12.99 you can buy peace of mind! Download it once and use it for seasons to come just like I do!

It's a perfect outline for the first Parent Meeting after which they can refer to when they do have questions.

Check it out!

This team was supposed to play in the Futsal World Championship in July 2020 — and then the pandemic hit and I had to cancel - and again in 2021 - I had to cancel.

Glad they are back on the court with their 3rd straight win! 🏆⚽️🇨🇦

It makes my heart happy to see these players back on the court! Truly!⚽️🏆🇨🇦

They won their second game 12-1.

And then as a HP Futsal Coach I habitually make a real-time mental list of what needs to be corrected, improved and taught ~ it’s an automatic process as I see plays, tactics and drills flow through my mind’s eye!

The cobwebs of two years of no Futsal play are real.

I am so grateful for my 10 years as a PRO Trainer teaching a national certification course to eager participants as I get to apply the progression I taught to my own Coaching.

It helps me to gauge the focus down to small actionable steps to build up their excellence instead of flooding their minds with everything I see.

Half-time consisted of 3 corrections to focus on - and mostly no comments while they played. Which requires lots restraint from me!

Right now it’s about getting play time, getting their fitness back on track and developing their decision-making through creativity.

The rest will come. Patience is truly a virtue! 🏆⚽️🇨🇦
