Earning money just by coaching someone how to play a sport is a easy and fun way to
earn money. It’s not that hard all you do is teach them the sport and how to be a better player.
This job is also entertaining, it’s not something you will brake a bone doing. All you need to
know is what soccer is, what are the rules, and what you need to be successful. By knowing
those things you will be able to teach someone who doesn't know about soccer. Are you can also
make someone a better soccer player if they already know how to play the sport. Becoming a
soccer technician is one great career you will never regret of taking. Every win or every lost you
have with your team, you will learn from your mistakes. This will help you fix your errors that
you make and it will help you improve your game.
As a soccer coach you will be the mentor and leader for your team, well conduct
numerous training session; deal with conflict from players in your team and from parents,
referees and other coaches (Coach). A soccer technician is the same as a soccer coach. His
objective is to make that team a better one by showing them how to play and by also teaching
them characteristics that they need to know to be a successful athletics. This will make you look
like a great successful soccer coach. A soccer technician can go through hard times if his team is
not winning none of their games. Coach Ranato stated one of his obstacles he faces during a
game, is that you have to see what your opponent strategy is, after you do that you will need to
make a better strategy to beat there strategy (Ranato). The most important thing is having
“determination”, and you will be successful sooner or later. For example you might be
determined to win a trophy this year but you might fail and you don’t win it this year, that
doesn’t mean you’re not going to be determined next year just because you lost last time, it’s the
opposite you’re going to be twice as determined and try your hardest to win. If you’re not

determined you will quit on your team and the chances are that you will be a bad coach in the
future.
To be a successful soccer technician, these are some of the attributes that you will
need to have: patience, determination, humility, desire to learn more, and the ability to lead you
team (Attributes). The soccer team you inherited will get better by the time the more you
communicate and the more time you spend time with them will help them and you comprehend
each other much better. Another attribute that is really important is knowledge. “If you have the
knowledge but cannot translate that knowledge into action for you soccer players it is useless”
(knowledge). Another great attribute is knowing you can’t teach you players the game of soccer
or make the required adjustments if you don’t know the game. That’s why it’s important to keep
learning more about the sport even if you’re great at it. “Mental preparation is a great factor at
any age yet it is often overlooked. In dealing with the mind set of players and teams, coaches
must consider factors” (Mental Preparation).

Coaches are the leaders of their team, they can lead them to success or to failure. There
are coaches that have failed and other coaches that have succeeded. A successful coach is Pep
Guardiola his the Barcelona head coach. The club lifted 13 trophies from the 16 competitions
they entered, that’s a great success they won more than half of their competitions. It takes a lot to
be such a great a coach like Pep Guardiola. Another successful coach is Alex Ferguson his the
head coach of Manchester United. Manchester United is one of the most popular soccer clubs
there is around the world. An unsuccessful coach is Diego Maradona he was soccer player
before, he was one of the best soccer players there was in the past. But now his the coach of the
International soccer team Argentina. He doesn’t really win that many games. He was much better
as a player then a coach.
Soccer has been a big impact in society. Soccer is worldwide almost every country in the
world practice this sport. From Hispanic to Egyptian people play soccer, mostly every race in the
world play soccer. This sport unites people from all across the world. Soccer has influenced
people a lot this sport is a great way to stay fit and to maintain a healthy body. Also soccer has
the most audience, there are millions of fans that watch soccer on TV. Soccer has really

improved and is still gaining popularity daily all over the world. Every four years the world cup
is played. This is a championship game founded by Jules Rimet in 1930 (Creator). The cup was
designed and made by a French sculptor named Abel Lafleur. This cup is 30cm in height, and it
weights 1,82kg made just pure of gold (Designer). When this championship game is played
about half of the American population watch and support there national soccer team (Graph).
The best way of getting a good view of this sport is by asking a real soccer coach. So I
interviewed Coach Ranato Freitas. He told me his favorite part about coaching a soccer is seeing
how the players play in the game and also seeing what you thought them come together in a
game. He also told me the reason he choose soccer coaching. Which was because he always
played soccer and he also had the opportunity to coach a soccer team, which he ended up like it.
He told me some tips that are good for anybody who’s trying to coach a team for the first time.
He said watch professional soccer games and unprofessional soccer games, this is a great way to
find mistakes on the teams. His favorite soccer team is Palmeiras a professional Brazilian soccer
team. In my point of view I think his right about watching professional soccer team play on TV
this helps you understand the game and it also teaches you a lot of things that can benefit you if
your a soccer player or a soccer coach. Also if you do a comparison with a non professional
soccer team and a professional soccer team you will be able to see a big difference among the
two teams in fitness and also there strategies. You will also learn how to command your team and
how to positioned them on the field.
Psychology relates to a player's mentality and attitude. A player's psychological profile
will include such considerations as confidence, self awareness, motivation, competitiveness,

empowerment, and persistence (Psychology). Tactics should be understood as synonymous with
“game decisions” or “decision making”. At the individual level, players must choose when,
where and how to run, dribble, pass, tackle, and so on (Tactics).Technique refers to a player's
ability to manipulate the ball. For field players, technique includes dribbling, passing, shooting,
and more. Goalkeepers share these technical demands and also must master other goalkeeper
specific techniques, such as catching, diving, deflecting, and distribution. Soccer tactics are used
by the top football teams today. Tactical drills are used in games nowadays, individual
weaknesses in the opposition are researched ahead of time and exploited through soccer strategy
(Tactical). Without tactical drills your team will not function right they will not be use to the
play.
The more you learn about soccer the better it's going to help you and your team
understand the game. Also the more you train your players and the more time you spend with
them, you will have better chances of being successful in the game. There are a lot of chances to
fail as well. Anything can happen during a game like you can have injuries are you can also get a
red card, which means a player is ejected from the game & may not be replaced. Are things
will not work as you planned it to, like your best player can get injured and cant move on no
more, you will have to make a new strategy to overcome the lost of your player. It is better
to fail with your own vision than to fail with another man's vision.
