“Health and wellness” are central concerns for CSO. These twin concerns do not invalidate, nor do they denigrate, winning, skill or excellence. They simply place each in their proper context.

   Soccer is the beautiful game. To play the beautiful game requires skill. To teach the beautiful game, requires a commitment to skill development
(technical and tactical excellence). Yet, we also need a deliberate, consistent, and systematic commitment to the health and well-being of every athlete in our care.

Our “Health and Wellness Initiative” will make this a reality.

This series of speakers will provide impactful and groundbreaking presentations on health and
wellness that will translate into a community dialogue. We intend for the series to become a
destination series that will bring together coaches, families, athletes, administrators and more to
discuss, learn, and develop professionally and personally.
