When I think of 'Club'......
This quote is from an unprompted text from a parent last week. We have been going inside a lot due to the weather for futsal and the change overs are quick as of course the kids want to play!
When I think of a club, I do not think of several thousand players or “platforms” or “acronyms”, I think of people. People are what drives a club. In the words of Gordon Strachan whilst Head Coach for Scotland “You cannot have good players without good people”. This behavior is deliberate and encouraged.
"I just wanted to brag on Dasha. My daughter didn’t want to go into the gym and play tonight. Dasha came over and talked to her and then went out to the middle of the gym with her and did some of the exercises with her. I was so impressed! She was so kind and went out of her way to make my daughter feel comfortable. It’s so important and impressive that this program touches the whole child, not just soccer"
The last piece is what made me smile the most. Because it profound ‘the whole child, not just soccer…..”
