You see I’m much more than a football coach……

First aider, counsellor, lace tier but most of all their friend,

Someone they look up to, forever remembered when one day this will end.

High fives, clapping and encouragement, Now that’s what we want to see,

Not shouting from the sidelines undermining me.

Cheering, smiling, happy faces when your child stares over at you,

Having fun is what’s it’s all about, Who cares if they concede 1 or 2?

 

 

I’m not Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp or even David Moyes,

I’m a volunteer who in all weathers comes out to train your boys.

I do this in my spare time, have family and a job like you,

I make mistakes like everyone, guaranteed you make them too.

But what is screaming and shouting really going to do?

It’s going to make your child hate the game, who cares if they lose a game or two?

Let’s support your coach and little one whether they win lose or draw,

Not questioning players or tactics, demanding and expecting more.

 

 

It’s all about enjoyment, fitness, laughter and fun

Your child is only a few years old, their career has just begun.

So please remember the next time, you feel like shouting out

We’re not on a football terrace, kids happiness is what it’s about.

You see I’m much more than a football coach,

 

Treat every child like one of my own,

Encourage everything that they do, You’ll never hear me moan.

First aider, counsellor, lace tier, but most of all their friend,

someone they look up to, forever remembered when one day this will end.
