A special weekend of soccer to start February
This past weekend was such a great soccer experience for me that I thought I would share. On Friday February 1st, I was able to make it to the opening night of the VYSA Workshop in Richmond. It was great to see so many great coaches from around the state all in one place. There were a lot of people there whom I have the utmost respect for in Virginia youth soccer. I wanted to stay for Saturday’s events, but I had standing obligations to my two girls’ travel teams.
The highlight of Friday night was Liverpool Youth Director John Owens presentation about the systems and ideas of the prestigious English club’s youth development system. He mentioned that he took great pride in the belief that every player that comes through their youth system will look back on their time as a player in the Liverpool system as a positive experience. I could tell that he felt very fulfilled by that, which is great to see from a person who is a leader in one of the world’s most famous clubs.
