Hello, I am an 18 year old teenager from Lebanon that has been coaching for nearly 2 years now. I found some difficulties at first but found my way out by learning. Beside some tactical weaknesses I am still trying to resolve, I am facing a big problem affirming myself. In the academy I work in, I am always considered as a poorly based coach, even though I am the only one that is capable of training the U6 team, while everyone else tried. It gets me to the point that I feel irrelevant and useless, just good with kids, while in the meantime most of the U13 parents for example are always excited to see me train their children. This is what got me questioning, is the problem from me or from the directory staff. I don't know if I'm the first one facing this type of problems, or even if I am asking at the right place, but my question is how can I get to prove myself as a coach, and how can I face this, because it is giving me a hard time mentally, to a point that takes me to the desire of quitting football.
