feel players need more support

Sports Mental Skills Coach and Sports Counseling

A note from Rachael Hanley – The most elite athletes in the sports industry understand the importance of the mental aspect of their sport in order to achieve their goals. This sports counseling program will focus on the mental aspect of the athlete’s sport and help them build the correct mental mindset to be able to compete at the highest level possible. This program will help athletes keep track of their goals, stay focused on these goals, and better prepare them for their next athletic stage. Chalk talks with the athletes will focus on goal setting, stress management, decision making skills, time management, performance evaluation, conflict resolution, recruiting, leadership, communication skills, fears & obstacles, and much more. ● Colleges and universities want student-athletes who are physically capable of being an excellent athlete but who are also emotionally mature enough to play competitively and maintain a high academic status. ● I will be helping these athletes prepare for their tournaments, games, big events, etc. And then evaluate their performances after their tournaments. If they did not meet their goals then we would discuss and evaluate why and how they can achieve these goals in the future. ● Every athlete will have a notebook where they will keep track of their goals, the chalk talk sessions and situations where they need feedback.

Speed & Agility, Strength & Conditioning, Injury Prevention & more

CFC is proud to have certified full-time in-house fitness staff. Jimmy Russomano is our Director of Strength and Conditioning. Jimmy will be introducing plans for each age group to help with speed, agility, coordination, movement, form and injury prevention. We will also be focusing this year on Soccer IQ with Strength and Conditioning. This will develop quicker feet to help players with ball skills and movement. We will also be introducing new support systems to help with periodization for our U13+ teams in order to monitor the players fitness, energy levels and understanding if they are being worked too hard. This will help with taking care of and preventing injuries as well as monitoring a players stamina for the whole season.

Parent Conduct at CFC ●  CFC wants a positive environment ●  CFC wants creative freedom and expression from its players

and for players to feel like they can make mistakes ●  CFC has a zero tolerance policy for poor parent conduct and

for parents coaching on the sideline ●  We want our parents to create a friendly environment, not

only for our players but for the other team’s players too ●  The environment we set on the sidelines is the one we create

on the field, if you want your child to flourish let them work it out
