En 2021, el Departamento de Educación de Entrenadores de Florida Youth Soccer Association enfatizó un área específica de desarollo con nuestros Educadores de Entrenadores bilingue ya que en el momento solo habia uno. En el 2024 podemos decir orgullosamente que hemos progresado a 5 educadores de entrenadores bilingue con la mayor responsabilidad de dirigir nuestros cursos de entrenadores “Grassroots” y asistir en los cursos de entrenadores al nivel nacional. En los ultimos dos años hemos podido ofrecer 8 diferentes cursos “Grassroots” en español y esperamos ofrecer mas en el futuro.
“Era un área de la formación de entrenadores en la que teníamos que mejorar. Florida es un estado muy diverso en lo que se refiere a entrenadores de fútbol y nuestro deber es satisfacer las necesidades de nuestros miembros club. Teníamos que mejorar en esta área y hacer crecer y desarrollar a nuestros entrenadores con la metodología de U.S. Soccer, y ahora podemos llegar a muchos más gracias a esta iniciativa. Tenemos que mantener una mentalidad de crecimiento cuando se trata de la formación de entrenadores y sin duda estamos viviendo eso en Florida Youth Soccer Association. ” Mark Godwin – Associate Director of Coaching
In 2021, Florida Youth Soccer Association Coaching Education Department emphasized a specific growth area in our Spanish Speaking Coaching Educators as we only had one back then. Now, in 2024, we can boast that we have 5 who can conduct our Grassroots Coaching Courses in Spanish as well as assist within the D and C Coaching License Levels since we have so many coaches whose first language is Spanish attending those courses. Over the last couple of years, we have been able to offer 8 different grassroots courses in Spanish, and we look to provide more in the future as well as assist coaches within the D and C level by being able to have our coach educators translate where needed. It helps bring our programming to a whole new level!
“It was an area of coaching education we had to improve on. Florida is hugely diverse in soccer coaching, and we emphasize meeting the needs of those in front of us. We had to do better in this area and grow and develop our coaches with the U.S. Soccer Methodology, and we can now reach out to many more because of this initiative. We have to keep a Growth Mindset when it comes to coaching education, and we are certainly living that at Florida Youth Soccer Association”, Mark Godwin, FYSA Associate Director of Coaching.
