Turf beads fly in the air, whistles ring, and intense yelling sounds across the field. Cones and players move in unison, but not without the help of a voice. Although at times can be booming, a voice that brings clarity and calmness to the field. These actions are led by only one person, the coach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Chris Rose decided to help the school\u2019s soccer program by becoming the J.V. coach. Using his experience as a football coach, Mr. Rose teaches lessons while learning new ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most adventurous things as an athlete is to try other sports whether it be coaching or playing. Along with other sports, Mr. Rose has plenty of experience with soccer. He said, \u201cGrowing up, I played soccer until I was fifteen. Then, I ended up not playing for the school, but I played basketball instead. My senior year I decided to play soccer again. I ended up being the goalie because I made a deal with the head coach not to run.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Although his playing days were a thing of the past, Mr. Rose uses his new position to look back and try to gain back what he once knew. He said, \u201cObviously, I\u2019ve been removed from it for a while, but I\u2019m kinda getting back into the terminology and the way things are going with it. I\u2019m trying to do my best to give some valuable input while trying to learn at the same time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Still coaching the freshman football team, Mr. Rose sees similarities between the two different sports. He said, \u201cAfter the soccer season, I\u2019ll go straight into the football off-season. We\u2019ll be gearing up for summer workouts. I still help coach running backs and the freshman football team. I think I see similarities about knowing where to run. We always talk about the spaces to be in as a soccer player,\u00a0 and that is a big part being a receiver in football. You have to have that sense of where to be and when to be there. Also, there is a sense of physicality when you go for the ball or demand it from other people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Players can sense what a coach knows and learns throughout their time with that coach. A new coach can help raise the mood during the season. Sophomore Jackson Barron said, \u201cI like having a JV coach because we didn\u2019t have one when I was a freshman. I like that Coach Rose has come in and filled in that spot. I feel like he has learned a lot, especially with positioning in soccer. It gives me more motivation to play for him because he\u2019s trying to learn. He\u2019s calm, collected, and settles everyone down when they are in a rush. He guides us through it and I\u2019m glad he\u2019s our coach.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
