In Episode 28 of #Onthetouchline, Jason Broadwater @SoccerCoachJB talks to Jay Hammond, @ Coach_JayT on Instagram.


Hammond is a coach at Birmingham United Soccer Association in Birmingham, AL.


“You either win or you learn.” That is a quote coach Jay Hammond subscribes to in how he approaches the game of soccer.


Hammond is a coach at Birmingham United Soccer Association in Birmingham, AL.


A previous guest of this podcast, Nick Holt is a mutal coaching colleague of Jay and I’s and helped connect us in a roundabout sort of way.


Like many coaches I interview, I got connected with Jay via social media.


Success means creating a legacy.


Jay has been influenced by the Messiah Method. Those not familiar – Messiah College here in Pennsylvania has been one of the most successful college programs in the country.


During a 10 year period their men’s and women’s programs won 472 times, lost 31 times, and drew 20 times.


So what is the Messiah Method?


· Pursue a higher purpose than winning.


· Be intentional about everything.


· Recruit the “Both-And” players.


· Cultivate team chemistry.


· Link training to the match.


· Choreograph match day.


· Play to a standard.


Jay talks about how he has used this to shape goal setting and action plans with his players.


Hammond also talks about grit and determination. Is it something a player is born with? Or, do players learn how to have grit and determination?
