Hey EVERYONE,

My wait is over. I arrive full of excitement, energy and enthusiasm. I firmly believe in seizing the moment and making the most of the best opportunities in life. Coaching at the DMS11 Academy certainly falls into that category.

It's great being able to update this blog, and sharing my experiences. I would also encourage you to each week write about your soccer - your preparation, how you performed in training, were tournaments successful. Abit like a diary.
Then start to think about the LEARNING and ENJOYMENT you gained!

As a coach I welcome feedback and communication with players and parents.

Set yourself targets and goals. For my boys team that could be getting to know me better, ensuring your ready for training, giving our best in The State Cup!

i feel very fortunate and honoured to be writing this. I hope that it provides some interest and pleasure to those who read it. Comments, feedback and sharing of ideas will always be welcome and respected.

I'll begin by explaining a bit about myself. I have been both a Player and Coach at Liverpool Football Club's Academy. Reflecting on this brings me immense pride and satisfaction. It also provided me with my proudest professional moment to date - helping coach the U18 team to the final of the 2009 FA Youth Cup.

I've recently moved into player recruitment with Fulham FC. This has broadened my knowledge and taught me many valuable lessons. It's great to think that I have the opportunity to hopefully help identify the best young players in the UK. Giving something back to the game that has given me so much.

Via this page I hope to provide advice, enthusiasm and guidance. A recent football/working visit to LA has really lifted me as a coach and inspired me to explore my future options. I will always strive to improve myself through dedication, passion and diversification. Not forgetting enjoyment to!

James

Hi everyone

October has proven to be a highly exciting month of soccer for my DMS11 BU13 team. We have played 8 matches, and shown real signs of improvement, maturity and togetherness.

I have decided to select ADOLFO MAGANA as my Player of the Month for October. His personal attacking performances have been of the highest quality during our scrimmages. Adolfo has produced flashes of individual 'magic'. These are moments of instinct and pure natural ability that we must all enjoy and admire as soccer lovers.

Congratulations to Adolfo. I asked him him a few quick questions below:

*Which game do you feel was your best during this month?

AM. The scrimmage against Galaxy at home. I scored a goal and we all played a great game. The team winning was also very important.

*Are you pleased that you decided to stay at DMS11 this season?

AM. Yes. I really like the new team.

*Which professional soccer player inspires you the most and why?

AM. Messi. He is a lefty like me! I also love the way he plays the game so naturally, and makes soccer look easy.

*Are you enjoying the training, and is it helping you?

AM. Yes I really like practice as it improves my skills for matches. I'm also learning new moves all the time.

This is the moment just before Adolfo curls a free kick into the top corner of the goal during our 3-2 victory away at NVSC (2/10/2011). One of the best strikes of the season so far!

Thanks

JAMES
