Bayern Munich Soccer Club of Kansas City

  I believe my role as a coach is to contribute to the overall success of my players including mental, physical, and athletic growth of my players through participation in soccer:

• I will endeavor to be a good instructor and a positive role model for my players.
• I believe the score of a game is second to the safety and welfare of all my players. I will endeavor to put winning in its proper perspective.
• I am responsible for competing within the spirit of the Laws of the Game. I will teach my players to understand and play within the spirit of the Laws, as well.
• I strive to bring the best out in players. I challenge them to reach the next level and to try new skills.

  I believe the way my team conducts itself can also have an influence, for better or worse, on those we compete against:

• I will endeavor to make my team a positive role model.
• I will not coach, nor allow my players to play, with intent to cause injury to opposing players.
• Neither I nor my players and spectators will display hostile behavior towards opposing players.
• I will emphasize winning without boasting and losing without bitterness.

  I believe coaches are responsible for the conduct of their players and the spectators on our side of the field, specifically as it relates to the referee, coaches, players and spectators on the other team. I will not tolerate verbal and/or physical abuse.

• I believe that Referees are attempting to do their best and I will instill in my players and spectators a respect for that fact.
• I understand that my attitude can influence my players and spectators so I will display a controlled and undemonstrative attitude toward Referees at all times.
• Neither I nor my players and spectators will address a Referee before, during or after the game in a demeaning fashion.
