As many people know, once you get out in town,
especially a town with kids and families, one is
liable to get involved with a youth sports league
through a local recreation center.

It could be because one has children or just because
of a friend you meet through some other group that
asks you one day to take on coaching for the children
during a sports season.

It happened this year I got recruited to coach a youth
soccer team of children for the county.

I didn't know anything about soccer, and as I write
this I still don't except getting the ball to a goal .
That's right, the season just ended and I know
nothing about soccer. But I coached those kids
through the entire season.

I arrived to find many doting parents parading thier
trophy children around the field full of anticipation
and hope and worry. I guess they thought since I was
there I knew what I was doing.

The kids assigned to my team were, well, let's just
say diversified in talent. For many they had never
played soccer before and some didn't want to be there
and some wanted to play and some wanted to fight and
more than a few wanted to chase butterflies.

As we started practice season I had an idea that I
would just get away with whatever I could.
But an hour into the activity my sense of duty
prevailed and I decided I would teach these kids
something and not waste their time or devaluate their
efforts.

All I knew was the study tech.

The coaches had their kids lined up doing all sorts of
drills and chanting rules and placemat and on and on .

I decided not to be a copycat but go with what I knew.

I lined the kids up in a line, and one by one on the
lowest gradient possible, I had them take turns just
picking up the ball, and walking a goal to the net.

"THis is a goal" I said.

I had them do that for two weeks while the fretting
parents looked on anxiously as if their children had
been turned over to some mad person.

From there we went on to identifying who was a team
mate.

Simple gradients, who to pass the ball to and why.

One whole practice having one buddy to work with to
get a goal.

That was four months ago.

We've been playing actual games all season and I was
originally handed the "runts of the litter" as they
told me.

I did have a justice action three games ago.

The league had a sit down to discuss whether it was
fair that my team was "beating up" on the other
players so bad as we were scoring so many points above
the other kids. They also had to discuss the ethics
of my teaching the kids to "CHARGE" and "GET
DANGEROUS" and the effect this was having on other
teams that were getting beaten so miserably by my
players. They also had to discuss if it was fair that
I was using a bullhorn and yelling "GET DANGEROUS"
"CHARGE" from the sidelines and if this was actually
ethical. They also had to discuss whether it was fair
that I didn't position my kids all over the field in
"Properly assigned positions" as the other coaches and
just put them in a little mob to run and goal only
having a goaly placed in proper position. I still
have no idea what the official designated positions
are supposed to be and either did the kids. I didn't
teach them to play soccer. I taught them how to learn,
work as a team, and win.

Today were playoffs and we came in first place in the
whole county in youth soccer for this year.

The parents were so happy and crying as their kids
took the trophy's for first place, the kids were a
real team and totally thrilled and I was given a
plaque in recognition of my efforts.

I still don't know anything about soccer.

And either do those kids.

But they know a lot more than when they started.

At the beginning of the season one of the players, a
kid who was written off as an impossible, was very
spaced out and even kicking our ball into the other
teams goal post.
I was ridiculed for having this kid as a player and
put him on lower gradients. Letting him throw the ball
in and kick, little things to give him a win.

Today he kicked the pass ball that made the goal that
caused us to win the playoffs.

After he won his trophy and the big bash was all over,
he walked up to me and handed me a bunch of flowers.

I could tell he really loved me, and this was the best
moment of his life.

It was one of the best moments of my life too, and I
will never forget his face.

This is just to say thanks to Hubbard for teaching me
about gradients.
