In England again!

Here I am in England again with a planned trip with 17 NSCAA coaches from all over the US. So far I have met coaches from Utah, Indianapolis, Florida, New York City, Rhode Island, and another from Massachusetts. Very nice group-humble, not full of selves, all here to soak up what there is to offer. A highlight of today was meeting/talking with/watching Alan Pardew who ran a session with some College Soccer Players fro us. He sat with us in our classroom and mapped out what he would do with the group, what his expectations were and then he went to it.

A really great session watching him push these players to their limit but doing it with respect and support. Funny guy too. I mean this guy has been on the "Telly" many many times coaching Reading, Newcastle, West Ham, and Crystal Palace until recently. Here is some info on him if you want. Today we are off to Derby the club to watch them train. A real busy one!
