WORLD CLASS COACHING International Coaching Seminar A Huge Success

KANSAS CITY, MO - February 29, 2006 – Coaches from 41 different states as well as Canada, Cameroon, England and the Caribbean attended the WORLD CLASS COACHING International Coaching Seminar at the Arrowhead stadium indoor facility this past weekend, (February 24 - 26) making it the most widely attended soccer seminar in the region.

The International Coaching Seminar provided club, high school and college soccer coaches with an opportunity to learn from some of the most influential coaches in the world.  The quality of sessions was excellent and many attendees said it was the best coaching seminar they have ever attended.

Imagine observing and learning from clinicians who have coached in the World Cup, played in the World Cup, coached UEFA Champions League Champions, coached English Premier League Champions, coached MLS Champions, coached Dutch First Division Champions.  These sessions will be published in future issues of the WORLD CLASS COACHING magazine.

Frans Hoek wowed the attending coaches with three incredible sessions showing an attention to detail that boggles the mind.  David Platt had the audience furiously scribbling notes as he outlined tactical information on how to beat various systems of play.  Bob Gansler, Mick Hennigan, Barry Gorman and Mark Francis all contributed great sessions giving the attending coaches lots of great sessions/drills to take and use with their teams for the upcoming seasons.
