@CarbrainSky Another team we have played against over the years folds.
So sad to hear this, hope the boys aren’t lost to the game and find another team to carry on playing.
All the best from Yett Farm👍🏻
@CarbrainSky All the best Damien going forward mate. Had some good games over the years with Bellshill and all the best to all the boys in their futures 👍
So I'm a football coach, but what do I do?
I give up my time every week to ensure your child has somewhere to go and play football,
I create an 'atmosphere', a second 'family' where your child can feel safe and have a sense of belonging,
I instill values, behaviours, beliefs, based on both mine and the Club's philosophies, which will help your child become not just a better footballer but a better person,
I teach important life skills through each and every training session, drill, or game,
I set the standard of the team/club, by being the first one there (an hour early) to set up, and the last one to leave (an hour later) tidying everything away,
I message you to confirm attendance at training sessions and matches on a Monday - and again on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and again on Saturday,
I spend countless hours of my days 'chasing' parents/player's, for subs, paperwork, kit, etc...
I put together training plans, team selections, kit order's, team social gatherings, sponsored events, money making activities all for the benefit of each child in that team,
I begin planning the team for the weekend's match the moment training finishes, and the very second the match finishes I am planning for the next training session,
I record the scorers, submit the results, file the paperwork,
I am a teacher, a doctor, a counsellor, a role model, a 'big brother', an influencer, and so much more - and that's just for you and your child,
I do ALL of the above every week, unpaid, whilst working awkward hours in a full time job, aswell as being a Dad, a Husband, a carer,
I don't do this for thanks, I do this because I love football, because I love seeing player's grow each week - that's the reward, the thanks for me,
I am a Grassroots Football Coach, but I am so much more ❤🖤⚽️

First game back in CSFA against a strong Lintlthgow rose.
A good 2-0 win, some great saves from Linlithgow to keep it at 2.
Great team performance on a poor pitch and weather conditions.
We
Go again Wednesday ⚽️⚽️⚽️
