The Leadership Team learns to coach!


Boston, MA, February 18th—While ASNE’s poet-athletes are already very comfortable playing soccer, 10 of ASNE’s Leadership Team poet-athletes got their first taste of coaching! In order to learn how to teach fundamental soccer skills to youth, the poet-athletes on the Leadership Team have spent the last three weeks brainstorming drills, developing new soccer activities, and learning how to lead a soccer team. After three weeks, the Leadership team put their new coaching skills to use this morning, when they led a 2-hour soccer clinic at the Tobin Community Center for 30 local elementary school kids. During the clinic, they led warmup games, stretches, passing drills, dribbling drills, and even a full court scrimmage. Way to lead (and coach)!
