WORLD CLASS COACHING
International Coaching Seminar
A Huge Success

KANSAS CITY, MO - March 06, 2008 – Over 530 coaches from 41 different states as well as Canada, attended the WORLD CLASS COACHING International Coaching Seminar in Kansas City recently, (February 22 - 24) making it the most widely attended soccer seminar in the region.

The International Coaching Seminar sponsored by Soccer One provided club, high school and college soccer coaches with an opportunity to learn from some of the most influential coaches in the world.  The quality of sessions was excellent and many attendees said it was the best coaching seminar they have ever attended.

INCREDIBLE FEEDBACK

We have already received some positive messages from some of the attending coaches including:

"I have been to several of your seminars and this was the best one ever."

"I really enjoy your seminars.  This is the 3rd one I have attended I always come away with lots of stuff to take back to the practice field."

"I have been to the NSCAA Convention and other clinics, but I liked this one better than any of them and I learned more this weekend than I did on my B License."

"Out of the four years I have attended, this seminar was the best oriented to my level of players - boys and girls high school."

"I loved the whole weekend.  The topics were very useful with lots of good drills that I can put to use with my U12 team."
