What makes a better coach?
What makes a better coach?
Do you feel having a coach that played soccer in college, regardless of Division level NCAA/NCIA makes them a better coach, over a coach who did not play in college?
Would you rather have a coach for your child that played some kind of pro soccer over someone who only played in college?
Would like to hear others views and why they think the way they think the way they do?

Re: What makes a better coach?
I guess I would rather have a coach who played at a higher level than one who didn't, but as Maradona alluded to it wouldn't really factor in any decision I would make until my kid was well past old enough to make their own decisions.
Past experience for having played at a high level is pretty much entirely irrelevant in determining a coaches quality to teach and develop younger ages (Zone 1 in US Soccer parlance) and then becomes mildly more relevant to coaching quality as a player ages. I would say that playing experience isnt really all that relevant until a player reaches late high school and beyond (late Zone 2 and Zone 3).
