WISA To Host Modern Soccer Coaching Conference on Saturday, July 15
Wingate International Soccer Academy have announced that they would host the Modern Soccer Coaching Conference at Wingate University Soccer Facility on Saturday, July 15. The coach education event will be a combination of classroom presentations and field sessions, delivered by coaching professionals from the youth, college, and professional levels of the game. It will be an action packed day of learning and interaction, kicking-off at 9am and finishing at 4pm.
WISA Director Gary Hamill believes it will be a great opportunity for coaches who are looking to develop and improve. “For many years we have provided a gold standard service to soccer players of all age groups. We now want to extend that to the coaching community and help promote new ideas and philosophies in the game today. I am excited to partner with MSC on this because of their forward-thinking vision and the fact that Gary is an alum and big supporter of our program. I am excited to host and look forward to connecting with a number of coaches from around the region.”
Modern Soccer Coach Education was founded by Gary Curneen in January 2017. Building on the success of the MSC coaching books, the conferences are specifically designed for coaches to learn, improve, and connect with other likeminded people in the game. Curneen believes that a holistic approach is what sets MSC apart and also creates an enjoyable learning experience for every coach who attends. “Not only do we want to provide new information to coaches, we also want to challenge ideas, as well as explore areas in the game that are hugely important at all levels today.” Curneen added, “Sports science, match analysis, psychology, tactical understanding, and training methodology are all topics that will be covered by our presenters. There will also be debates, discussions, and opportunities for coaches to network throughout the day.”
The list of presenters include Erwin van Bennekom (Duke), Mark Spalding (Global Premier Soccer), Erik Imler (ex- USMNT U-17), Philip Poole (US Soccer and Charlotte Soccer), Gary Curneen (Cal State Bakersfield), Jordi Rams (Charlotte Independence), Glad Bugariu (UTRGV), Vanessa Mann (William & Mary), Jeremy Boone (Athlete By Design), and Wells Thompson (MLS Winner).
