Coached my daughters soccer team to the championship

1w ago1 min read

So I signed up to coach my 7yo daughter's soccer team at the start of the season and honestly didn't know what I was doing. Found some youtube videos, read some coaching books, and we just worked together. These kids were pretty rough at first but by the end of the season we made it to the finals. We didn't win but I've never seen my daughter more proud or confident. She made so many new friends and I got to bond with a bunch of other dads. Probably my favorite thing I've done since becoming a parent. Worth the Saturdays.

That's awesome man! YouTube coaching crash course to championship is the kind of dad win I'm here for. Your daughter's gonna remember that forever.

Seven year olds playing their hearts out for a coach they respect is everything. Bet that trophy means way more because of the time you put in.

This is the dream right here. As a new dad myself, I'm already thinking about what sports I can actually help with instead of just watching from the sidelines. Props for going all in.

This is what it's all about right here. Those kids are going to remember having you there so much more than the actual trophy. That's a dad win for sure.

That's incredible. I coach my boys soccer team too and even just winning a couple games feels amazing. Getting to that championship level with a 7yo team takes real dedication from you. Your daughter must be so proud to have you as her coach.

Congrats! I know the feeling when my kids do something they worked hard for. The championship is cool but the real trophy is all those Saturday mornings together. Did your daughter get the game ball or anything?
