Adrian Webster wants his coaching book to be different. This book shares his views and experiences of having been involved in the game as a player, coach and manager at youth, college and pro levels.

He started to get involved in coaching when he first joined the Seattle Sounders in 1974. Because you have played the game, doesn’t necessarily make you a good coach, this was another thing he took on-board from his first coach, John Best. You need to become more aware of how we learn and that coaching is very much like teaching.

Adrian believes that good verbal communication and visual demonstrations became his focus and as they say, a picture paints a thousand words.

Adrian Webster played for the Seattle Sounders NASL ’74-’79.
During his six seasons with the Sounders, he played with and against some of the greats of that era.
