How to run a good soccer practice for kids

The most important thing a soccer coach must do is come to practice with enthusiasm.  The energy the coach brings to practice will radiate throughout the team.  They must stay positive and always push their players in a positive manner.  When creating soccer drills for kids, the coach must keep in mind the skill level of their players.  If drills are not challenging enough they players will get bored and start to dis-engage.  Drills that are too difficult will result in a practice where you end up stopping and starting too much, disturbing the flow of a good practice.

Good soccer drills will involve game like situations where the kids learn to recognize certain situations.  Hopefully in the games they will recognize these situations and implement them when it counts.  Another quality of a good drill is that it conditions the players at the same time.  No one likes to line up and just do conditioning drills all the time.  They are mindless and most players hate them.  If you implement good youth soccer drills then the players will have plenty of conditioning and you won’t have to waste time running sprints at the end of practice.

Take command of the practice from the start.  Players will learn that once you step ont he field it is time to take care of business.  If you allow too much dilly daly and it takes a while to get into the practice it has an affect on the habits your team will create.

The drills, energy, and mindset the coach brings to practice are critical to your soccer team’s success.  Prepare well and push your players in a positive manner and you will have success!

Tackling the European Market in Conferencing and Event Management

 

Introduction

When a company or organisation wants to put on a conference or large event, it is unlikely they would consider doing it themselves. Most companies do not have all the necessary in-house expertise, and releasing personnel from their normal work could be less cost efficient than bringing in the experts. There is also a great deal more to organising a conference than most people would realise in that it is a very stressful and technical activity. The client therefore would usually call in another company that specialises entirely in conference and event management.

There are a great many companies offering Corporate Event Management Services so competition is keen. Even if you are the best you still have to compete with others who offer lower prices and might appear to be cheaper. One of the ways of countering the cut throat business in the UK is to look at offering Conference Production Services in Europe. European managers then have the option of using a UK or EU company to provide for their Conference or Event. UK conference services are more than able to offer competitive prices. In the current economic climate with the pound at its lowest value for many years, UK companies have a distinct advantage in the EU market. The following example will serve as a useful illustration of the many benefits of taking your event expertise outside of the domestic environment.

I plan to take you through a step by step account of the stages of managing an event in Europe using examples from a recent contract in Rome.

Step 1

As a company offering conference and event management services it is vital that the quality of service provided is professional and value for money. To this end attention to detail is paramount. The project manager will know his team and the quality and reliability of the technical staff, the quality of the electronic equipment and the soundness of the sets that are used. Once these issues are in place and proven on previous jobs then the pitch to the client can be confident and knowledgeable so that the client can be reassured things will run smoothly. If you can trust your team to do a good job then the client can trust you to do a good job.

Step 2

The Brief

The brief we were given was a three and a half day conference event in Rome in early February for approximately 150 international delegates attending, the majority of whom would be travelling from the USA.

Technical Specification

The technical requirement was to combine a rear projection set and a four speaker PA system with radio microphones. Also data and video switching, wireless table microphones for delegate interaction with presenters in question and answer sessions. They wanted two show laptop PC’s loaded with PowerPoint and various video software to assist with conversion of any extra footage required to a suitable format for projection.

Step 3

A quotation was provided for all the physical hardware and the technical requirements and the services of the project manager and his team. No subcontracting was necessary. Details were agreed and the quote was accepted by the client and a contract issued. It is important to make sure you have a contract and in it, a clause for cancellation charges.

Event companies have the advantage of using a regular team and have all the necessary equipment to provide for the needs of the client.

Step 4

When organising any event abroad we find it more reliable and economical to use our own technical equipment and workforce who we know and trust. There are no problems with language and the team understand the technical issues that are likely to be encountered. They are used to working together, each having their strengths to contribute to the whole, and they can be trusted to do the best possible job with the minimum of fuss. However planning is a key activity particularly when organising meetings and conference events abroad. If you have forgotten something it’s too late to go back when you have driven 600 miles. So having decided to transport the full conference set, staging and equipment by van to Rome we then worked out the details of how best to achieve it.There will always be last minute and additional requirements from presenters and our team can be relied upon to deal with last minute glitches, that need immediate and effective technical support, as a matter of course.

Step 5

Transportation

The size of the event is critical to the choice of transportation. In our Rome example it was possible to convey all the required equipment in a hire van which could be driven using a standard UK driving licence. If the scale of a conference or exhibition event is much larger it would be recommended to use a dedicated freighting company to collect, deliver and return staging and technical elements to the destination. Using a dedicated freighting company also has the benefit of delivering the key personnel to the event without them being tired out after driving across Europe. In other words the team can be flown out to the event so that they are fresher on arrival. With cheap flights to Europe it can also work out more cost effective than overnight stays for eight or ten people driving en-route.

However, in this case it was decided that the event technicians would drive the van to Rome which would still be well within budget for all staging and technical elements. When hiring a vehicle it is essential to pay attention to maximum load capacity of the vehicle. The weight of the technical equipment and set must be less than the maximum load and once the main systems are onboard, care must be taken not to fill it to the brim with extra bits and pieces.

It is so easy, when being helpful, to add the client event material, such as delegate registration systems and materials, brochures, display and graphic panels. The result can easily mean that the maximum safe load allowance for the vehicle is compromised. As the load capacity is a legal necessity it is never a good idea to say yes to extra items on behalf of the client without being aware of the likely impact on overall weight.

Step 6

The Journey

As the distance was twelve hundred miles there and back it was decided that with an allotted journey time of two and a half days each way to Rome would be sufficient. Although it would have been possible to travel to Rome in two days we have learned from experience to allow a margin for any delays en route. It also allows for the technicians themselves to be fresh enough after the road trip to be able to work effectively.

When travelling long distance across Europe and at a time of year when the weather might be inclement, it is essential that the safety of personnel and other road users is paramount. By dividing the travel time between two drivers and rotating them every two hours, we have found that neither is unduly fatigued. This system allows large distances of up to 600 miles a day to be covered with safety. Regular breaks help to maintain concentration and awareness, with total travel times of no more than ten hours in any day and preferably no more than eight hours a day. It is never advisable to rely on a bare minimum of journey time for any long distance travel to meet an event deadline.

Some companies offer tailor made team building events that combine corporate events management needs with exhilarating activity.

Having selected the route to be taken from the UK to Rome we left the UK via a ferry from Dover to Calais and then journeyed to an area just North of Dijon on day one. From Dijon on day two, the journey continued as far as Bologna via the Mont Blanc tunnel. We decided on day three, to make an early start for the half day drive from Bologna to Rome and deliver the equipment to the venue, then rest up for the remainder of the day so the crew would be fresh to start work the next morning.

Navigation across Europe is now much more straight forward with Satellite, but we would also recommend printed route plans and local maps of any places where a stop-over is planned. It has sometimes been the case that even with the latest updated information the Sat Nav cannot always find the precise location of the road you want, due to the ongoing construction of many new motorway networks. You may find yourself suddenly stuck on a road it doesn’t know and this is when the co-driver can be a great help to navigate you through the confusion.

Step 7

Accommodation for Overnight Stops

Choosing accommodation for suitable overnight stops is worth some research. There is a plentiful choice of motel stops near to all major roads in France and Italy all of which are reasonably priced. However, there are superb guest houses away from the main cities and major roads which offer a much more relaxing experience for a tired traveller and are usually cheaper than the chain motels. Often these places have secure parking enhancing vehicle security from theft and damage. After all, when freighting audio-visual systems with a value stretching to tens of thousands of pounds, peace of mind is useful to say the least.It is advisable to spend time during pre-event production locating places to overnight. There is little benefit from having to find a room late in the day at an unknown cost which may impact on the profitability of the job.

Step 8

On Site Conference Production

On arrival in Rome we drove the van to the conference venue so that the audio-visual equipment and staging could be unloaded directly into the conference room. This was to secure the items and have everything ready for setting up the following day. Getting an early start to set up the equipment allowed for the client to begin presentation rehearsals on the afternoon of the rig day. Later on the same day there was to be an evening reception and brief welcome presentation to all attending delegates. The setting up procedures are tried and tested and the team worked like a well oiled machine so that all the audio-visual elements were complete and in place on schedule and all the technical systems were working correctly by the time the client presenters arrived from the USA.

Step 9

Audio Visual and Production Content

An example of the kind of last minute technical hitches that has to be resolved is when a conference presenter is unable to submit his presentation during the pre-production period and will arrive on site with it in his briefcase (Probably having worked on it during his flight over). The production team will not know until late in the process what presentation format is required. However the presenter will still expect his material to be incorporated seamlessly into a master slide deck. If a conference set uses a wide screen projection format the content will need to be generated in a sixteen by nine aspect ratio. Unknown to the presenter however, the offered material may have been built around a slide template that used a four by three aspect ratio instead. Depending on content, this may have minimal effect on the look of the presentation but if there are images of people, or pie chart graphs, these will then appear as stretched and elliptical shapes which would be unsatisfactory. Fonts and text boxes may move out of alignment and embedded applications such as XL may well be impossible to read.

Most exhibition and event management companies will have their own audio visual equipment which they understand how to use.

During the rehearsals for the first day of the conference one of the American presenters had travelled to site with a power point presentation containing video footage. Unfortunately the video content had not been embedded into his presentation so it did not appear as he expected. The video content was hyper-linked to files that were inaccessible from the PowerPoint presentation - supplied to us on a memory stick. Fortunately with our technical proficiency we were able to download the video from source and convert the video footage into a high resolution format that would be compatible with our audio visual systems. This is when event support specialists, who speak English as a first language and are familiar with the requirements of such last-minute complications, are invaluable.

In an ideal scenario, all presentation content will have been presented during the pre-production phase to minimise such last minute glitches, but more often than not on-site changes are required to re-format a presentation. Whilst it is by no means out of the question that a local AV company might well have been able to do the same, feedback from client events in Europe suggests that when they have used a local supplier they have often failed to be sufficiently expert to support such needs.

Step 10

During the Conference

Over the period of the two and a half day event we were able to further boost our reputation with the client and delegates. Something that they had overlooked until the last minute was to provide appropriate themed music for role-play exercises. Although it had not been part of the original conference production brief, we were able to provide apt and timely presentation support at very short notice from our on-site database of over thirty thousand music tracks.Again, this was something which many of our European competitors may not have been able to achieve within the time frame and it would probably have added an extra cost.

Whilst seeming relatively trivial points in themselves the above types of scenarios can be very stressful for conference and event organisers, who already have responsibilities that go beyond the presentation content. The corporate conference event being organised by the client is a huge task of delegate management and event logistics, so that any projects that can be left to an experienced dedicated event management team such as ourselves, frees them up to focus on their own tasks of delivering a successful delegate experience.

Step 11

Language Issues in European Conferencing.

When working in Europe either as an event manager, conference producer, or production company, it is always helpful if you are able to communicate directly with the people you meet at the venue and along the way. Whilst all major event management destinations and hotels across Europe have staff who will speak English, there are occasions when they will not be available. We are fortunate to have colleagues with rudimentary skills in French, Spanish and German who are all keen to improve their language skills. They are prepared to have a go whenever possible to try out what they have learned and this has sometimes proved to be invaluable. It may seem obvious to say, but we recommend that at least one on your production team should have a working knowledge of the local language and should be encouraged to use their language skills as often as possible. It is often surprising how a little effort can generate a much better response from those who you are working alongside.

Conclusion

If you haven’t given much consideration to the idea of working in Europe then we really recommend it. Conference events in Europe can be undertaken by a UK event production company at comparable cost to our European colleagues in the audio-visual supply sector. Favourable exchange rates add a further competitive edge to the costs of bringing your audio-visual and staging from the UK. Researching and planning the route and method by which conferencing systems are freighted and delivered will provide surprisingly low cost delivery solutions.

Taking your preferred conference production team with you to Europe will give increased peace of mind with regard to the quality of your technical support. Our client in Rome was very happy with the service and level of attention to detail we brought to their conference and repeat European corporate events are now routinely part of our conferencing diary. Fortunately our team really enjoy the experience of travelling abroad and having the opportunity during ‘down time’ to experience life in another culture and country. Particularly at the last night celebration which, rather like a topping out ceremony, tradition dictates must take place at the end of each show!

Don’t Be Fooled…Yoli Is More Than an Energy Drink Business…

Whenever you join a network marketing company, you want to make sure that it’s following the current trends in that particular industry. Why? Whatever your market is buying is what you should be selling. It’s no easy task trying to force products onto people who don’t want them. Yet there are many companies who try impose their ideas on what they think the market should be buying. Unfortunately a lot of these same companies that don’t pay attention to what’s going on around them and as a result end up closing shop…taking their distributors down with them. In the nutritional market, what buyers are leaning more towards than ever is health and wellness. People want things done fast and easy. If people can drink their vitamins and nutrition, they’ll rather do that than pop pills one at a time from several different bottles. Just about all the big competitive nutritional companies have added nutritional juices or vitamins to their product line. The founders of Yoli studied the buying habits of people, and not just the people who mlm products. They noticed some very important things with nutritional products and realized that the mlm industry is only marketing to a small percentage of people.

Yoli MLM found the difference that will its products more available to the masses…and it was no easy task. What they found could literally mean the difference between a little bit of success or massive success in a shorter amount of time. It’s no secret that the nutrition home business market is cluttered full of me too copy-cat products. It seems like there’s a new juice born every minute. health and wellness Who knew that there were so many exotic jungle fruit just waiting around to be re-discovered by western civilization?

The disappointing fact about some mlm products on the market, is that they only compete with other similar mlm products, not with the products average people buy day in and day out. The price points are sometimes, but not always inflated due to the payouts to distributors. So mainly those who are familiar with mlm buy the bulk of its products. That leaves a whole lot of people out who aren’t in mlm, don’t care to be, but yet buy products that are similar to the ones sold in mlm, but at a much lower price point health and wellness.

The Possibilities Of An IVA

An Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA) can aid anyone who is having problems paying back their debt. It is an especially persuasive option to family’s who would risk losing their home if they became bankrupt.

An IVA can help you if;
Your creditors have declined an informal debt management agreement
You have already had an informal arrangement, but you could not meet its terms.

You have so many creditors that an informal debt management arrangement would not be practical. You could be made bankrupt, or you have already become bankrupt and you want to reverse that position. You previously had an informal arrangement, but you could not keep up withits provisions.

Your creditors have not agreed to an informal debt management arrangement
You are being made bankrupt, or you have already become bankrupt and you want to alter that situation.

You are in debt to so many creditors that an informal debt management agreement would be impractical.

You may have a small company which you would be unable to keep running if you became bankrupt. You would be made redundant if you became bankrupt, jobs such as solicitor, accountant, the armed forces, police. You have a significant amount of capital but it is still not enough to completely repay your lenders. You want a formal arrangement with your creditors to accept that lump sum and write off the balance of what you owe.

You have equity in your house. You will not necessarily lose your house if, with the agreement of the IP and your creditors, it can be kept out of the Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA). However, your creditors will usually want the maximum amount of the equity in your house as they can acquire. With an IVA you are less limited restricted than with bankruptcy. EG, with an Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA) you don’t have to tell your building society. So you will still be able to use your bank account.

And the disadvantages?
If you fail to comply to the conditions of your IVA, then the Insolvency Practitioner who is supervising your Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA) or your lenders, can petition for your bankruptcy.

If the vast majority of your lenders do not acquiesce to your proposed IVA you are subsequently back to where you started. It will be 12 months before you can make another IVA proposal. You should carefully consider your paperwork.
If you are a property holder, it could be that under the terms of the Individual Voluntary Agreement you have to sell your house. An alternate method is to include a clause in your IVA where you have your home valued after an prearranged amount of time with the aim of releasing the “equity” in your home at that time, to your lenders. Your lenders may agree to you paying monthly IVA instalments for an additional year to cover the amount of equity in your home.

If your money situation alters and you can’t afford the payments, unless your Insolvency Practitioner can coerceyour creditors to accept a revised contract, your IVA will end. This can mean you are facing bankruptcy.
