Jenn and I are proud to announce the latest addition to our soccer family. Our new baby boy, Keegan, was born today, weighing in at 8lbs4oz and 21 inches long. So, who did we name him after? His brother, Gunnar, was also named after someone famous…any guesses? So there you have it, a Gunnar and [...]

Ok, so as I write this post it is 10.22pm (Pacific Standard Time)on the Saturday night before “Survival Sunday” in the Premier League. I have been counting down the days and now the hours and I am a nervous wreck! Why? Well my team, Blackburn Rovers are one of the 5 teams hoping to survive [...]

Just wanted to give you all an update on future developments here the the soccercoachingblog.com. I am absolutely thrilled by the response to the three Soccer Coaches’ Shows we have posted so far. It is very humbling to see that people are visiting this blog and answering questions and asking for help and advice. We [...]

Just wanted to express our thoughts and prayers to everybody affected by the massive earthquake and tsunami. At times like this we need to be appreciative of what we have and to send our prayers to everybody involved in this tragedy.

OK, so again life happens and we did not get to film the show last Monday night as planned. My son has bacterial pneumonia and my cohost was sick as well. I have been working through www.elance.com to try and find someone to update the format of this blog to make it easier for you [...]

OK, so that”s what the World Cup is all about! What a nailbiting end to both the England and USA games! Couldn’t ask for more drama. Trust the “Golden Boy” Landon Donovan to score the most important goal in U.S. soccer history. If the USA had not qualified for the next round, they would have [...]

OK, so I have been saying this for weeks, we are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel and our recruiting efforts are nearing an end. I am the only part-time temporary coach in the conference and it is a tough job to recruit while holding down a full time job and having [...]

OK, so my team isn’t exactly Manchester United or Manchester City for that matter, but I do believe I can relate to both Sir Alex and Mark Hughes respectively. All three of us are focussed upon strengthening our rosters for the start of the season. I don’t have tens of millions to band about willy [...]

Wow, what a relief, but boy is it getting tight down in the lower half of the Premier League! I find it fascinating watching the big guns fighting for their very lives in the Premiership and I am crossing my fingers and toes that Blackburn survive. I also take solace in the performances from these [...]
