    Jake…what a cool video. I looked into coaching when I was a lost soul a few years ago, but was immediately turned off once I looked into how to get started. Thanks for connecting the dots with all that you have learned. It’s so good to hear about this sport being a universal love worldwide, and there’s always this feeling I get when I learn more and hear about the game from guys such as yourself. If you made subscription tiers I would definitely chip in 🤙🏻

    I was pleased to see you cover this topic - we talked about this briefly a long time ago and I remember being surprised at how much the process wasn't about the thousands of "if/then" things that a capable coach in any sport should know. Did you get a feeling that the UEFA system is just more mature? Baseball coaching/training/theory evolved unbelievably in the generation between my playing and coaching days and "all-ish" of the innovations started here (our game, largely fueled by our money) and trickled out to other places. WRT soccer, it's their game and largely fueled by their money (Apple notwithstanding).

    • @JakeLandau
      @JakeLandau  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Vince and yeah our conversations were top of mind for me when covering this topic. I don't know if maturity is quite the right word I used but more of a confidence in approach from UEFA. They spend more time on the foundations to build the best and most passionate player base, whereas USSF starts with how to be a good coach if that makes sense? Obviously they have had more time to build their education and yet i have to think that in 2022 federations are working off the same data and theory.

    Wow, I came across this just as I'm starting some of the "grassroots" courses with the idea of eventually getting some of the more advanced licenses, but damn, I was not aware of the insane prices farther down the road, especially compared to the English FA equivalents. Even the USSF D right now at $550 (at least where I'm at) is more expensive than the FA's C license price you have in this video. And then you add on that you have to take three grassroots level courses, one online and two in person, for a total of $185 before you can even take the D license. It's unfortunate just how insanely cost prohibitive even coaching is in the US, especially as you move up the ladder... Thanks for the video, very informative.

    Jake, this is a very excellent video. Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights about the similarities and differences of USSF and UEFA coaching licensing. I will grade UEFA's better because it is cheaper. Get with the program USSF! I have very young kids and would like to learn more about coaching just to learn and teach them more, but I can't justify spending that kind of money. . .I probably wouldn't have time anyway, but others might. Oh well.

    I know I am commenting late to this vid, but a fantastic video with great insight.
    In New Zealand, it is more expensive than the U.K but a bit cheaper than USA. In my C License course, I was the only person to front my costs myself on the course, and it took months of all my energy focused on work to earn enough money to be able to sit the course. I think the course is better and more valuable than a few years of Uni Undergrad.

    What I would be interested to know and understand would be the costs behind the licensing of each organization. Fields, buildings, administrative costs etc. are a large part of the fee structure. Why does England charge less as opposed to the USA? Is it numbers of participants in England? Are the fixed costs associated with ussf just that much higher? What do the upper echelon take out of the system for salaries? Is there are large difference there between the two? I’m sure you understand the financial side of each and could investigate and bring forth a comparison. (Just don’t be the one to bring down the castle lol)

      I agree with Jake, I never played beyond high school Varsity, but my passion for the game has helped me be a successful youth coach for the past 11 years. And am currently a youth coach for one of Detroit City FC’s affiliate clubs. To make up for the lack of playing resume, you’ll really have to be a soccer nerd, lots of reading about the game, lots of watching the game, and lots of watching RUclips videos about the game. You’re watching Jake’s videos so that’s a good start! It takes an experienced coach just a few seconds to determine if an aspiring coach understands the game, and that’s more important than a strong playing resume

      Hey Joseph thanks for watching! I got the USSF D license because I was coaching an older age group in a competitive division for the first time in 2015. When I moved to England I wanted to take advantage of being here as UEFA licenses provide me with a lot of opportunity if I wanted to move into coaching more seriously when I move back to the US. Also I am just someone that enjoys learning, so it was fun for me to take these courses and apply them to my practice.

I also love the ideas from Mark Bennett.

      Hey! Grassroots is great for that level. In the US I was coaching a high school team 14-18 year olds. That’s when I got the USSF D license. In England I’ve been coaching at a soccer school ages 6-16. I’ve realized long term if I do coach long term I’d like to coach players at least 12+ just because I enjoy and appreciate adding to their IQ in tactics and some strategy. When they’re really young it feels more about keeping them engaged in learning and while that’s fun I just know I enjoy the more technical training more.

    - coaches in the US are earning up to $7,000 a year to coach a ‘competitive’ team. That’s more than enough to cover a C B or A license. Non-academy coaches in England are not.
    - I have completed the USSF B and A between 2019 and 2023 and all hotels and food was included
    - I have competed my UEFA C and Youth Modules 1/2/3 and never had hotels or food included
    All were great licenses both sides of the pond!
