Coaching soccer, like disciplines including journalism, you'll always learn if you're open to it, you'll learn from your players. If that's being smart, fair enough.

I don't know how smart I am, but I was a student of the game and I still watch games and still pick up things. If you watch individual players you will see genius.

I don't blame the players, I don't blame the parents, I blame programs and I blame the coaches.

Coaching soccer, like disciplines including journalism, you'll always learn if you're open to it, you'll learn from your players. If that's being smart, fair enough.

Placing blame on others is easy. Taking responsibility for yourself is empowering.

It takes courage to dream big and then to allow nothing to prevent you from realizing that dream.

If you put good people around you, I guess you're smart. You learn from them and that makes you a better coach.
