[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most clubs list the names of the coaches and their respective certifications and qualifications.

Remember that most coaches are not full-time coaches as they have other full-time jobs/professions. Hence, most don’t have time to attend coaching seminars unless it’s held on weekends during the soccer offseason.

But remember that certifications and/or attending seminars doesn’t make a coach a good/great coach.  Heck, even the best former professional or college players aren’t good at coaching/teaching either.

It’s how a coach effectively communicates, teaches and develops players which can’t be determined by certifications, etc. [/quote]

Isn't it lowering and accepting a low bar by diminishing the education and knowledge gained in coaching courses taught by qualified coaching educators?  
Coaching formal education teaches you the what, why, where, when and how. Teaches you best practices and the scenarios applications.

Also, coaching, teaching youth is different than coaching adults, no?

I’m not saying that education (coaching certifications) are not valuable. What I’m saying is that a coach can have all types of certifications but can still be a jerk, abusive and/or horrible coach. [/quote]
