A Tribute to Alan Maher by Tony Filicchia |

He opened my eyes to a different way of seeing the game, and of teaching it to the teams I've worked with. I have had some great teachers through my development as a coach, from the coaches in the U55F schools and the 5tate coaches I've met and worked with, and I have benefitted from all of their knowledge. But I have to say that the messages contained in Coach Maher's words are among the simplest and most useful.

I have written about Rinus Michels before. He was a great Dutch coach and was named “Coach of the Century” by FIFA, the international governing body of soccer. He died last winter. He wrote about an exercise in which a wing player centers the ball to four teammates running at the goal.

We learned sportsmanship and how to deal with a bitter opponent. It was a very positive experience. It was always a good learning experience. We shook hands at the end and said, wait until next year!

Standing on the Sidelines by Alan Maher |

Thirty-five years have turned soccer upside-down. Now we have ropes by the sidelines and uniformed people keep the parents at a "distance" fro the field. People are arrested and /or sued. Restraining orders are issued. People are banned from the fields of soccer (and other sports).

Down the Road by Alan Maher |

So I ask you, are we going down the same road? Will we fail down the road? Will we blame the coach for all the problems that we have created with the players?

One boy on the team has a brother in special education. Downs syndrome. The brother comes to every game and cheers on the team. He does not understand all the rules of soccer or know the names of the players, but he runs along the touch line opposite the player's bench and cheers the team.
