WORLD CLASS COACHING International Coaching Seminar A Huge Success
KANSAS CITY, MO -
February 24, 2005 – Coaches from 37 different states as
well as Canada, Jamaica and the Bahamas attended the WORLD CLASS COACHING International
Coaching Seminar at the Arrowhead stadium indoor practice field this past weekend,
(February 18 - 20) making it the most widely attended soccer seminar
in the region. The
International Coaching Seminar provided club, high school and
college soccer coaches with an opportunity to learn from some of the
most influential coaches in the world. There was a
Canadian/Scandinavian/World Cup theme for the weekend.
Tony DiCicco and
Even Pellerud have both won
World Cup Championships with the U.S. Women in 1999 and Norwegian
Women in 1995 respectively. John
Walker is Canadian and Even
Pellerud now coaches the Canadian Women's National Team.
The Scandinavian theme was provided by
Roger Gustafsson of IFK Gothenburg (Sweden) and of course
Even Pellerud who is Norwegian.
Added to these sessions were two sessions by strength and
conditioning specialist, Zach Duval
of Xplosive Edge who wowed the audience with his lecture and
practical session. |
