The NSCAA really packs a punch with this schedule, so here’s a quick run down for ya’all of the rest of Day 2 at my Premier Diploma course in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

It’s not every day you get to learn from the 2010 MLS Coach of the Year. But today was my day. The one and only Schellas Hyndman took center stage this morning… and it was awesome.

I knew it was going to be an amazing week when I walked in the hotel door today because NSCAA Director of Coaching Education and Development, Jeff Tipping, and NSCAA Vice President of Education, Paul Payne, were sitting in the lobby and of course welcomed me with open arms.

From January 3-9, I’ll be in Ft. Lauderdale taking the NSCAA Premier Diploma. On the eve of the course, I’m more excited to to learn who my staff instructor will be than anything.

Just a quick post to let you know that the following ten coaches (in alphabetical order, first nationality and then team) are in contention for the FIFA World Coach of the Year for Women’s Football 2010.

I’ve been here in Kansas City for a week now doing some work with the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (www.NSCAA.com). During my time here, the folks here have been talking non-stop about the incredible family environment. I wanted to share this with the world, so I walked around with my iPhone (catching the crew totally off guard) and captured their first reactions when I asked, “What do you love about the NSCAA?” Pretty cool.
