do you actually need to play the sport in order to be a professional soccer coach?
i know alot about soccer, soccer is my main interest but not when it comes to playing. ive seen most soccer coaches on tv and most of them have been professional soccer players before. so id like to know if you need to be a soccer player before you can become a coach.
thank you
Typically at that level, yes. The players need to be able to respect you and you need to be able to relate to the difficult situations faced on the pitch in professional games. You train day in and day out with the team and to be able to pick the right drills, exercises, and show them new things to better their game in specific situations takes that first hand experience.
At the top levels, I would definitely say you have to have a considerable background in football to be able to coach the pros. Although you would have to start at a pretty low level of competitive football to earn yourself a name and a decent coaching resume, I am sure with all the practice you will get day in and day out on the pitch with the players through the seasons you might be able to pull it off. If you do well in lower level coaching you can keep moving up given the right opportunities, and it may very well be possible to be a professional coach with the right dedication to the position, just highly unlikely.

Soccer- Coaching Philosophy Or Headaches, The Choice Is Yours
Calling yourself a soccer coach is easy enough. Trying to coach soccer is a different story. Adding your personal touch to a training session is simple enough. Trying to enforce it without pulling your hair out is another story.
Do you have a coaching philosophy? Have you put pen to paper and actually developed your coaching philosophy? If you have, fantastic, great start. Are you upholding your coaching philosophy throughout the season?
For those of you that asked, "what's a coaching philosophy?' I'm glad you asked. A coaching philosophy reflects the standards you set for yourself and your team and it gives birth to your coaching values and belief. Before you decide to call yourself a soccer coach, make sure you've established your coaching philosophy.
Calling yourself a coach without a coaching philosophy is like driving a car without a license or embarking on a road trip without your trusty melways. The importance of a coaching philosophy is that it keeps you on track when things go wrong and helps keep the angry parents at a safe distance during the season.
But just a word of warning, even with a coaching philosophy penciled in and firmly placed, this does not guarantee you anything as a coach. The difficulty begins when you need to enforce it or adhere to it. Let's use some examples to illustrate these difficulties shall we....
A few disgruntled parents approach you and question why the team is not winning more games. You quickly refer to your philosophy that states that winning is not as important as player development while you simultaneously wipe the sweat off your forehead.
John's dad questions why the lesser skilled kids are receiving as much playing time as the team's best players. You refer back to your philosophy that states that all players will receive the same amount of playing time irrespective of their abilities. The presence of your coaching philosophy eliminates any surprises throughout the season. Explaining your soccer philosophy to the parents before the season commences eliminates any unnecessary headaches and provides answers to most questions that might arise during the season.
Your coaching philosophy is extremely important. Don't just put pen to paper, really concentrate and put the necessary time in. In the long run, your coaching philosophy will reflect not only who you are as a coach, but also as a person. Lead your players in the right direction and instill values and beliefs that you want your own children to have. If you can accomplish this your team will be champions irrespective of their win-loss ratio. Put things in perspective, coaching soccer at junior level is not the bigger picture is it?
