SMYSC has adopted US Soccer's coaching philosophy. SMYSC coaching tactics are based on...

• SOCCER REALITY  The game is the starting point; it drives changes in behavior, reflection, and decision making for the player, the team, and the coach.
  
• EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING  We learn by doing; evaluating, analyzing, and reflection on our experiences helps develop competencies and improve behavior. We can apply those to everything we do as coaches by experience, reflection, development, and the application of the lessons we learned through the process.
• A HOLISTIC APPROACH  Everything is connected; we believe the 6 Tasks of a U.S. Soccer Coach provide a complete framework that can be applied anywhere to create an environment where we can link coaching games, coaching training sessions, leading the team, leading the player, managing the performance environment, and leadership.
  

      Our Coaching Philosophy is most evident when examining how we train.
