Alex, embrace it. You won’t regret it mate! What advice are you seeking?

Hi. Thank you. I’ve been the co-coach for the past two seasons. I originally decided to be take a more active role in this team, due to my step daughter who is the team’s goalkeeper. I am not wanting this team to fold, as I’ve been involved with this team for over 5 years, as a parent and a co coach. 
Now I’ve been asked if want to manage to the team on my own, and the other coach doesn’t want to assist me, means I will be doing this on my own. I am anxious at the thought of having g to do it all. 

Hi Alex,

Fantastic that you're thinking of stepping in to manage the team! Sounds like there is a great opportunity to build on what has already been achieved. The great thing about football and being the manager, is that you get to do things your way. Whilst it may be daunting, it can also be a brilliant opportunity. I remember back in 2013 when I got my first coaching role, I was asked do I want to assist with the under 15's or be the manager of the under 11's. I chose to manage the under 11's so that I could do things my way. It was daunting, I made mistakes, I didn't get everything right but it allowed me to grow as a coach and I gained confidence, experience and learnt as I went along. I was pretty new to coaching back then, whereas you've already been involved for two seasons so this experience you've gained will stand you in good stead. See this as an opportunity to build on what's already been achieved by putting your own stamp on things. 

Perhaps there may be another parent who is willing to assist or lend a hand? 

Is there anything in particular you're anxious about? If you can be more specific, I'm sure people on here can help!

Good luck,
Adam.
