The course culminated in a comprehensive exercise that involved analyzing a team’s performance, planning training sessions, and presenting strategies that aligned with the principles of play. “It was a long four days of deep analysis, study, and then implementing our findings in designing practices tailored to our next opponent,” Scott noted. This experience not only enhanced his tactical understanding but also reinforced the importance of meticulous planning and evaluation in coaching.
Scott’s participation in the USSF A Youth License Instructors course is a testament to his dedication to advancing his coaching expertise and his commitment to leading Space Coast United with excellence.
