Last January, at the United Soccer Coaches Convention, I was invited to take part in a one day Summit of coaches from various levels and geographies of the United States. We were charged with "developing a framework of fundamental beliefs that coaches could collectively support to build a positive soccer playing culture in America." It was a very thorough process and the result provided the foundation for the "Cornerstones of Culture" that the United Soccer Coaches announced this week.
As a member of the soccer landscape (parents are welcome to take the pledge as well!), you are invited to "Take the Pledge" in committing to these 7 cornerstones. You can "Take the Pledge" at the United Soccer Coaches website HERE.
