Taking Players & Coaches To The Next Level
Soccer Growth in the USA is so rapid the governing bodies cannot keep up with the demand for coaches and improved developmental pathways
TENCO trained soccer coaches are UEFA and FA licensed British professionals that possess the skill to make the game relevant, appropriate and enjoyable to the players in their care.
The TENCO coaching team's British coaching philosophies are founded in the no-nonsense style of British soccer, which is the oldest style of soccer known and still being applied in the Premier League. Attacks are set up quickly and with direct long balls over the defense. Speed and strength are the main attributes of the British style of play, which is well-suited to the exceptionally strong American athlete.
TENCO coaches also offer a diverse, highly disciplined coaching skill set that will not only aid in the development of US players, but also the education of parents and coaches alike.
American Recreation Soccer Needs Development:
American youth recreational players' first introduction to soccer coaching is through parent volunteers with little to no true soccer development background. This leads to a casual perception of the game and inadequacy in advancing American youth to their true potential
American Coaching Style Needs To Be More Well-Rounded:
The American coaching style is criticized for an overemphasis on the passing and dribbling game, as opposed to working on strategies to aggressively get the ball into the best space to shoot and score. The development of American players will greatly benefit from British influences and integrating multiple international coaching styles for a highly customized, position-specific experience.
