“One of America’s greatest coaches, Abraham Lincoln, was asked to describe his teaching philosophy. He responded: ‘Good education is based on observation, reflection and experimentation.’ The reflection part is a vital ingredient that is often missing in youth soccer, as well as in our culture. To assimilate lessons players need to take stock, think, and let the lessons sink in. Learning takes time and what appears to be downtime is another level of soaking the idea into the psyche. It is a similar process to a seed underground that slowly flourishes through nurture and time, and finally bursts out into full bloom. Acquiring skill is no different.”—Coach Graham Ramsey, Soccer Journal
