Soccer Coach Alex Devey

Soccer Coach Alex

Alex has been coaching young soccer athlete's since he was 16 when he took over coaching his little brother's team.  He said it was challenging being a teenager himself but it fueled his ambition to become a successful coach.  During this time of social distancing, he's conducting video practice sessions and setting personal challenges for his players to stay motivated.  

He finds the most challenging part of being a coach is keeping all players focused on improving instead of focusing too much on a result.  He's been playing the sport since he was 5.  He believes everyone has their own philosophy and way of playing and being a coach gives him the opportunity to put that idea into practice.  

His advice to all players is to get into a routine and do whatever you can to stay active.  Take this time now to reflect and identify something you want to learn or really improve.
