If I ever do decide to become a youth soccer coach, this course will be very helpful for me. How will you apply the content of this continuing education course to your work? Just like teaching youth, I feel we can also apply what I’ve learned to my every day training.

Deeper understanding of the game of soccer. As a physical education teacher I will use this knowledge to teach my students.
This course was very informative, yet easy to follow. It was easy to understand and I appreciate how there was actual application along with the lessons. I have four boys, three who are involved in soccer. I feel more confident now volunteering to coach or assistant coach them. As a fitness trainer, I now have a specific sport certification to use with confidence with the youth in our area. Thank you for the opportunity to expand my knowledge on the subject.
Further knowledge to help me become more confident when doing sessions. I will be able to include certain types of sessions and be more aware to certain things done by the players.
Good all around understanding on youth soccer training and conditioning. Plenty of information pertaining to each age group. I am now able to create structured youth fitness programs that will work for all age ranges. Highly recommend!
I will be able to use the progressive methods with all of my youth athletes no matter what their sports choices are for great training and conditioning routines.
Professional, excellent information. Amazing selection of exercises and progressions, documented with resources. Great course!!!
