There are many pitfalls in youth soccer in our country. Hulk Brazil Jersey . Over-invested parents; the pressure to win at too young an age; high-pressure coaches who focus on winning instead of on development; and increased dropout rates because of these and other factors are just some of story lines that we see repeated over and over. Much of this negativity comes because of our collective mindset that the only way for us to measure our childrens progress in soccer is through the scores of their games. How many points their team gets and how many goals our children score have, for too many years, been the metrics by which we gauge their progress. But what if there was a different way to develop soccer players in Canada? What if we could simply teach kids to play better? That is the goal of Willie Cromack, founder of Play Better, an innovative plan to improve sport culture in Canada. The program attempts to shift the mindset of players and parents alike, away from scoreboard success and towards empowering children to discover their potential - both as soccer players and as human beings. Play Better is a grassroots soccer program designed to provide clubs, coaches, parents and players with a clear and accountable pathway through soccer. This includes an LTPD-compliant curriculum, lesson plans complete with desired outcomes, video training sessions, as well as tools for gathering metrics beyond simply the number of goals scored. The reason behind the gathering of those metrics is where the genius lies. Play Better aims to marry a holistic charitable program with the training and development of young soccer players. The program does through by asking teams to do the following: • Choose a cause or charity. For example; the SPCA, the Canadian Cancer Society or your local childrens hospital. • Choose a baseline metric. For example; a recreational team can choose 100 completed passes per game. A more competitive team can choose a larger number, such as 200 completed passes. This is called the team goal or team win. • Have a pre-season meeting with parents to explain your objective; for every game in which your team achieves its team win, ask parents (or friends, family members or sponsors) to donate a pre-determined dollar amount to the team cause/charity. The monetary amount is not important - it can be as little as a loonie per parent/family. • Create a team website, where the kids can tell their story. It gives them a chance to explain, in their own words, how achieving their objective every game will not only help them become better soccer players, but also make a difference in the world. It also allows them to track and promote how much money they have raised for their chosen cause/charity. Team Falcons is a U11 boys gold soccer team in North Vancouver.

As I have written many times before, it is one of the biggest hurdles we must overcome if we are to create an effective youth development system in Canada. It isnt the players that we need to convince; it is the parents. A program like Play Better might just be the bridge we need to achieve this. As the members of Team Falcons can attest, players participating in Play Better quickly realize that their sporting endeavours have a bigger meaning. It isnt just about winning and losing anymore - it is about helping others. This teaches players to work on their fundamental skills (to complete 100 or 200 passes per games, players have to focus on what they learn in training), but more importantly, it teaches them about helping others, about community investment and about personal growth. What parent doesnt want their child to learn those lessons? If these lessons can be tied into the technical development of young soccer players, then Canadian soccer could be onto something big. *If you or your team is interested in Play Better, you can read more about the program here, or contact Willie Cromack at willie@championsinsport.com Jonas Brazil Jersey .

Bjoerndalen, who had failed to win any major race for two years before Sochi, writes in a Facebook entry that he is "full of energy and inspiration" after winning the 10-kilometre sprint and mixed relay at last months Olympics.In a shocking upset that stunned the planet and parts of the galaxy, Mercer beat Duke 78-71. After the loss, White refused to make good on the bet, instead offering Hoyt tickets to a Bears game. Cue the social backlash. So heres the question: did White and Hoyt have a binding contract that requires White to pay up? In order to have a binding contract, you need to have a three things: an offer, an acceptance and something called consideration.  Its not crazy to say that the first 2 elements are met here. White made an offer, and Hoyt accepted the offer when he can excitedly tweeted "Ill take that offer!". So far so good for Hoyt. On to the third element of consideration. Consideration is an essential element for the formation of a contract. In order to have it, each side has to promise or provide something of value to the other. You give me something and I give you something. Without this exchange, there is no contract.  For example, if you express an interest in my banjo and I agree to sell it to you for $50,000, we have the consideration we need to say we have a contract. Im getting $50K and youre getting an awesome instrument that brings people together. This is where things fall apart for Hoyt. This deal didnt have the requisite consideration. The valuee only flowed in one direction – to Hoyt. Diego Alves Brazil Jersey. . There was no value going the other way to White. The deal was one-sided. That means we dont have a binding contract. You might be able to argue consideration if White had tweeted out that if you follow him and Duke loses, he will give away season tickets. In this case, it could be said that White is getting value because when people follow him, his brand becomes more valuable which in turn can translate into sponsor dollars and marketing opportunities.  Theres also another problem for Hoyt. Before you can say there is a legally binding contract, you have to show that both sides intended on entering into the contract in the first place. That would be tough to show here. Ultimately, White would say he was just joking. He doesnt know Hoyt and the tickets he offered arent even available. This all went down in the informal environment that is Twitter. A contract was never contemplated. So all this means that there is no binding contract between White and Hoyt, and as a result, Hoyt cant force White to cough up the season tickets. That being said, the next question to answer is whether White should provide Hoyt with season tickets. And thats something I suspect everyone has an opinion on including my banjo teacher. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
