There is so much to gain from this video. Beyond the obvious and what has already been said, I will take from this video the demeanor that Brian had with his players. His frustration with them while on the sideline during play, but only positive comments at half time and the same with additional praise at the end of the game discussion. And it’s not just what he says, but how he says it. Brian doesn’t have to raise his voice. He is a smooth talking coach. He gets their attention and holds it. Right from the start he makes sure that all the kids are engaged and eyes on him. These kids enjoy playing for Brian and it shows. He addresses each group specifically. Back 5. Midfielders. Forwards. He not only talks to the group as a whole, but pulls each kid aside before the 1st half, after the half, after the game. Each kid gets his individual comment affirming their importance and value to this team. I wish I knew Spanish so I could catch everything he was saying. The other coach knew that his team was over matched. 2 different styles of coaching. I didn’t hear much from the other coach during the game. I don’t know if that’s because Brian was mic’d and the other coach wasn’t. But you hear the other coach trying to motivate his team before taking the field in the second half. Very loud. Chivas doesn’t need that. They know their identity and their capability. They are already motivated for this second half. Great job Brian. Now let’s go do damage!
