I am curious about the style of play Everton brings now and the level of success a rather mediocre team has had for years says about Moyes’ coaching ability. Many pundits applauded Moyes for keeping Everton middle of the road with the budget he had and now it seems United is a bit middle of the road vanilla while Mr. Martinez’s side plays with a certain panache. Makes one wonder and scratch their head.
Every house needs walls. How you choose to paper or paint them, what frames and photos you hang, how you elect to display your home is uniquely yours. In the nursing profession we call this socialization to the role. The science of being a nurse (the what) is taught in school and on the hospital floors, the art of nursing: (the how and why) of my relationships, levity, level of care is what I bring to each patient. Futbol is really no different. I’ve been hosting pick ups for a while but am new to formal coaching, and while I feel I can glean the necessary information on my own through self study and constant reading, watching, conversing, there is a certain allure to having a ‘C’ License and I figure this socialization is important in my long term education process. To paraphrase Gary in an article on 3four3, he essentially writes that the licensing method is a bit tedious and a joke but if you want to move up in teaching it is a necessary evil.
Hello All and mostly Gary and Brian.
My name is Joel (Nancee). I grew up playing the game at a relatively high level through the 80’s and into the early 90’s- traveled up and down the NE Corridor playing some of the best teams around and tragically became one of the many 16 year olds who walked away from the game. Cold. Divorced it. Hit a 5 iron pure for the first time (and there is no better feeling than a well struck golf shot)- took up golf and threw all of my life and energy and time into that activity. I beat balls, worked it slept it played it and honed it to where I could play in the mid- to low 70s on nearly any course I walked on. There was nothing and I mean nothing more important to me that a $5 automatic 2down press Nassau with a rum and coke or 6. If you play golf for money, you know it well. There is a certain steeliness you find out about yourself. I did that till I was 36 years old. Till I began having children, till the 5 hours needed became a rarer occurrence, let alone the practice and the money I needed each time I played became too high. So I was transitioning—- and fell exhausted on the couch one evening after parenting all day and became transfixed by The Spaniards one International Friendly evening. Transfixed. A meditation of rest and awe and peace watching the movement of the ocean on TV. Watching the rhythm of the tides in the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets. The rest for me is history- I became a football junky-went over the handlebars the way I did when I meant my future wife, had 4 kids in 5 years, began coaching and studying the game, watching always but without a clear understanding of where to find the information. Then became an RN and came to believe as Eric Cantona said, ‘that football is all about having the courage to risk the art inside yourself.’ To me football played in the possession style and played well is high art and I believe whole heartedly in the 3four3 way and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to grow and be part of the conversation- to study and coach this way of being into my kids and my teams. Thank you. -Joel
