Just got back in from my 'New season' player meeting.
Last season we finished second bottom in our league. I explained I thought this was poor, because we have players of quality that can achieve much better league position.
I have put together a folder/booklet containing things like player evaluation scores, codes of conduct for football, coaches and players. I have included a review of last season to give the players an opportunity of what they liked and didn't like.
These books will have to be signed by the players and myself, so that we all buy into the same philosophy for next season.
It's an idea I have taken from Clive Woodwards book about winning the rugby world cup with England.
I have not had to cut any players, but there are a couple who have decided to leave.
Overall, I am looking to improve the whole structure of how the squad operates. Wether we climb the league, remains to be seen!
