Career Job (Assistant Soccer Coach)
Perhaps one of the most dynamic career choices is to engage in sports coaching. A soccer assistant coach is definitely one who enjoys a very engaging and interesting job scenario interacting with an entire team of different players and characteristics or personality traits. This makes the required skill set of a coach and an assistant coach to be very diverse. In this paper, the discussion will focus on the different aspects of the soccer assistant coach including aspects like job responsibilities, skills requirements as well as the benefits and drawbacks that come with the job.
Job Responsibilities
Perhaps the most obvious responsibilities of the assistant coach include: designing the team strategic play with the head coach, assist the coach in teaching the strategy to the players and help an individual player develop or enhance their attitude towards the game as well as towards the players. But his responsibilities are a lot more diverse and include quite a few multi-dimensional aspects (Herbst, 1999).
Perhaps the most underrated responsibilities of an assistant coach are their role as the parent liaison. An assistant coach is the one who talks on a regular basis with the parents and keeps them apprised of the activities of their child and the overall improvement that he has undergone and needs to go. They are also the one who deal with the brunt of the complaints or anger that parents express upon disapproval of a certain decision made. They are also thereof responsible for the transference of any schedule changes or match cancelations/delays that might occur (Jones,...
Another major aspect of the responsibilities of a soccer assistant coach is to arrange and provide any on-field medical care or strategic assistance to help the players understand what their physical restrictions are as well as where the game need to go (respectively). The assistant coach is also required to represent the team and the head coach at meetings and practice sessions whenever necessary. The assistant coach is also required to be skilled in some psychological standards so as to help the players overcome emotional or cognitive difficulties as well as, in general, complete any other tasks assigned to them by the coach of the sports board of the organization that they are employed in (Jones, 1999).
Skill Requirements
Keeping in mind the aforementioned spectrum of responsibilities, it is not hard to say that the individual hired for the post will have to be more than just a fan of the game. Some of the required skills set required for the assistant coach will include the following:
First off, the individual must have a relevant educational degree, preferably a Masters Degree in the field of sports management or student-athlete coordination. For this purpose, the individual must not only know the sport of soccer in great depth but also be capable of transferring the love of the game to those around him like the players. The assistant coach will also be required thereof to be a capable teacher and trainer of the sport, preferably through practice and…

penalty kick, the game was ours. If we missed, the game went into overtime and we risked losing what we worked so hard toward. Overcoming immense obstacles, we rallied from a 5-2 deficit in the second period. Our best kicker was out due to a hip injury; two of our star players fell ill some a severe flu; and the captain must have underwent the psychological trauma of weeding
