A Prayer for the Youth Soccer Coach
May your season bring you and your team success and fun
May you guide your players to growth on and off the field by your words and actions
May you understand and respect the officials that call your games
May health follow your team throughout the season
May you and your team respect the game
May your voice be used wisely and effectively
May your words, thoughts and actions be positive
May support from assistants, managers, and parents be so that you can do your best
May you continue to grow as a coach and seek out coaching education
May your games be without wind and if not let it be at your team’s back
May your goalkeeper and the goalposts become the best of friends
May your forwards finish with flair
May your midfielders control the game
May your defenders be quick and fair into the tackle
May the grass be cut to your liking
May the Gatorade be cold and your favorite flavor
May the ball be inflated correctly for both games and training
May your sideline behavior not hurt your reputation
May you bring honor to your club
May you convey good positive soccer to your team
May you accept both wins and losses with class
May you learn from your mistakes
May you hold standards high for you and your team
May your players and team play to their potential
May you as the coach enjoy the season
