In Episode 24 of #Onthetouchline, Jason Broadwater @SoccerCoachJB talks to Aaron Rodgers, @OhioSoccerCoach.
How do you make people feel?
That is a phrase Aaron Rodgers, the head women’s soccer coach at Ohio University has in his Twitter profile.
I lead with this question to start our conversation and how he developed this mindset as a coach.
Building a desirable culture is something each and everyone one of us as coaches strives for with our teams or programs.
It is something players seek when selecting a program or club.
Here’s a quote from Rodgers. “John Wooden said this, “I want the players to be the best athlete for the team – not the best athlete on the team.”
I admire that Aaron has played the long game of getting to the Division 1 level as a coach.
He volunteered, worked in the club game, worked his way up the college ranks.
If you’ve been following me on social media you’ll know this love affair that has developed in coaching goal keepers. I’m taking steps to enhance my knowledge and licensure when it comes to the position.
Aaron was a goalkeeper in his playing days. He talks about how this has benefited him as a coach throughout his career and how this has helped him understand and read the game.
