The Corner Kick: A Guide to Coaching in the U.S.

My name is Cristian Velasquez, a USSF D licensed coach, currently working towards my C license. I’ve been coaching for 3 years now, but have been involved in the beautiful game for my whole life.

My goal from this blog is to share my as well as my colleague’s experiences in the game, but most importantly it is to build a strong community of coaches in the U.S. soccer landscape. I want to hear about your experiences as a coach in the U.S and even around the world! If we can build a strong community of coaches, then together we can tackle the challenges we face as coaches and most importantly, learn from one another.
