wr lOThe Barrie Examiner Friday Oct 1976 big influence By ED HARPER CRAY The Barrie Optimist Minor Soccer League brought the curtain down on another very successful season last Satur day when they presented the trophies to the championship teams Over 300 hap youngsters coaches officials and executives ammed into Consumers Gas Buildin to fill up on ham urgers and pop and to receive their awa Being the President of the Barrie Optimist Club it was in deed pleasure for me to attend the award presentations Everyone who had part in giving more than 700 boys great soccer season should be congratulated would like to take the portunity to congratulate the roaches Most people used to ink that coach was someone who taught boys to swing bat kick ball or score goal But coachs responsibilities do not stop there More and more people are coming to believe that his responsibilities go much further They realize that good coach of minor league athletes also embodies strong qualities of leadership For too long anyone who had passing knowledge of the game was eligible to coach group of boys Teaching skills and winning were the only ends he worked towards leadership is even more important leader sees skills and games as important tools as means to more lasting end He is concerned with im arting wholesome attitudes and practices which influence and irect boy long after he stops playing particular sport Though this is big claim it is nevertheless true You know it rom experience The boys with whom coaches come in contact are in the most formative period of their lives They are as malleable and impressionable as wet clay At titudes formed and habits moulded now will be lasting Whether these attitudes and habits will be good or bad rests with the coach to large extent Sport is probably the richest medium for influencing boys character for better for for worse The results will be in direct proportion to the quality of leadership that he receives Sportsmanship is at low ebb among players coaches and spectators alike in far too many centres win at any cost attitude is dominating the game It was great to see the coaches of the Barrie Optimist Soccer Association parade to the stage with their team to receive their awards You could almost see the feelings that these minor league coaches had for their youn soccer players The rewards are many for ese coaches they exert tremendous influence upon the boys They experience natural feeling of heroworship toward their coach and they look to him for inspiration and guidance These coaches of our minor league soccer in Barrie have one of the most important roles in our community They have com pleted successful summer of coaching and deserve the plaudits of all in the Barrie area Keeping over 700 boys busy during the summer when school is out is large chore The hockey season is beginning and many men will be taking on the task of coaching for the first time Remember that they are only boys and not professional players that you are coaching it is nice to be winner but there has to be loser Treat all your players the same whether they are excellent players or poor you are their leader and can render real service to your boys It is not always an easy task The challenge is great yet the satisfactions derived are well worth the effort To the coaches who just finished the soccer season say all the best for the future and to the coaches of minor hockey have good season and remember that they are only boys and you are responsible as their leader SOCCER SIDEWINDER Jr II of the limiting Fat13ml
