Professional insight with James Parry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ive always felt that it's essential to keep young footballer's stimulated with plenty of variety and enjoyment. I was coaching Liverpool's U18 team 5 day's a week with a match on saturday's. We were together alot. It was therefore important to maintain interest and focus levels. We would sometimes do this by inviting 'guest' speakers to spend an hour or two with us.
The first was a Liverpool FC and England legend, Kevin Keegan. KK, as he is often known, was fantastic. He provided a fascinating and inspiring insight into how he succeeded in the pro game. He has exepreicned all aspects of soccer. Liverpool Championships in England and Europe, England Captain, Newcastle United - Manager and Player, Hamburg in Germany and much more. His knowledge is unique. It was interesting to hear him discussing the need for self Improvement: •Never settle Much of Keegan's success came as a result of personal/self sacrifice and individual determination. However, he did recognise and appreciate the need for team responsibity. Stating that sometimes you "Need to be a Soldier and not just the general." I'm sure these are all messages that you hear from Dan and the other DMS11 coaches. Have fun and keep practicing and improving! James |
