Full 90 Coaching

Rob is the Girls’ Varsity Head Coach with Melrose High School in my home state of Massachusetts, and he is a fellow member of the United Soccer Coaches 30 Under 30 Class of 2019-2020. During our conversation, Rob and I reflect on our time as roommates during this year’s United Soccer Coaches’ Convention, we discuss his work as a teacher and how it parallels coaching, and the importance of goal setting and reflection.Twitter: @CoachMahoney90; @MelroseGSoccerIG: @mhs_ladiessoccer  0:30 background in soccer and current role1:45 decision to stick with coaching girls3:30 realization to become a coach5:22 how coaching different age groups mirrors teaching7:33 knowledge from teaching that translates well to coaching9:25 the value of Goal setting and reflection13:30 notes from the 30 Under 30 experience16:26 former coach/teacher as a mentor18:15 current experience in COVID with HS soccer23:45 wife is a fellow coach; discussing relationship25:00 preparing the team to play in COVID29:20 developing captains/ leaders wit
