PRESENTER'S BIO

I guess its "kinda cool" that Cal-South is looking outside the lens of strictly soccer to try and help clubs run themselves better.
But I could think of about 10 other classes that clubs need to work on before they take a "negotiation" class.
Here’s a list of items I’d recommend:
1. Accounting- how to budget properly for a 10 month season when all of your income comes in in February
2. Tax law- How to maintain your non-profit status while using volunteers to run your $900 per team tournament.
3. Marketing- the power of an EZ-Up and custom logo corner flags
4. Social Media- how to use Instagram. Post every time your flight 3 team wins, but ignore the fact that your flight 1 kids joined them that day. Also, make sure to include any tournaments your team wins, even if it’s your Flight 1 team playing in the 2nd or 3rd flight of a tournament.
5. Fashion Design- Be bold. Be brave. Use blue as your primary uniform color. And white as your secondary color. Make sure to create a logo that speaks to your history and commitment. (Even if your club has only been around for a short amount of time).
6. Child Development- is yelling as loud as possible with an accent the best thing for teaching kids?
7. Family Counseling- How to deal with parents that have different expectations.
8. Ethics- I’ll leave this one alone.
9. Logistics- how to coach 4 teams at the same time and still charge everyone full price when you only make 1/3 of the games.
10. Physical Education- Does playing 4 games a weekend all summer do more harm than good? Should an 8 year old be full time goalie because she’s the slowest kid on the team? Is a 12 month season with 5 breaks of 1 week each better than taking a full month off once in a while. Should a kid be “allowed” to try another sport during the winter, spring or summer?
