Through their insight and foresight, 'Next Gen Coaches Club' have created an innovative introductory Coaching & Leadership qualification for high school student athletes. I applaud their goal of increasing the number of certified youth coaching counselors." Barry Gorman is a NSCAA Past President, former Professional Player, High School Teacher & Coach, NCAA D1 & D2 Head Coach and former MLS Technical Director.
The Next Gen Coaching Diploma is an incredible program full of vision and driven by a heart and desire to move the great youth and high school players of this country from that of a student to an instructor. In my many years of high school coaching nothing warms the teaches heart more than seeing a former player enter this wonderful profession. As a member of the NSCAA advocacy council, I am honored to see the partnership take our game to new heights.
