Eclipse Futbol Club

Season 1 Episode 19 In this episode, I chat with Nationals Academy (Detroit, MI) Director & Coach David Roberston (@coachdr7 on Twitter).  David shares his evolution as young coach who quickly earned his coaching licenses but then needed the coaching experience to aid in his development.  His coaching experience in Cincinnati, Ohio with Cincinnati United Premier and the Cincinnati Development Academy were beneficial for David in creating and cultivating his coaching philosophy. In this episode, David speaks about -What drew him to the Nationals Soccer Club. -The use of technology in the Nationals SC and how he uses that technology to improve his coaching and player development. -Reaching out to coaches at all levels for the opportunity to simply observe training sessions, planning meetings, pregame chats, etc. -Soccer players are more than "just a soccer player"! -Relationship building, focusing on the mental health of players, developing confidence on and off the field! -References the movie 30
