As the Director of Training for Soccer Xperience it is my responsibility to assure that coaches are following our Soccer Xperience philosophy. This philosophy is centered on the players and on how players learn, develop, and understand the game. We base that on their own creativity. Soccer Xperience embraces this method as it gives individual ownership to the player. From our experience, when you give a player ownership of a thought, idea or practical execution of a skill, they are more motivated to carry it through to the end. Thus by guiding their creativity, players can be coerced into making logical decisions. Allowing them to remain calmer and at an optimal state to work their way out of trouble. You must teach your team to play hard, no matter whom the opponents are, because you're setting your own standards, playing toward goals you want the team and each player to achieve.

This philosophy is guided by objectives:

• Assure learning
• mprove individual ball control
• Improve player’s soccer knowledge
• Have a team concept
