SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Friday, August 23rd saw the Charlotte Independence Soccer Club staff had the privilege of hosting
Dr. Dan Freigang
for a professional development seminar in the area of Sports Psychology. This was an excellent opportunity for our staff to spend time with one of the leading Sports Psychologists in the US, whose field of expertise includes team building, self confidence, and elite sports performance. Areas of focus for our staff seminar ranged from dealing with performance anxiety, motivation techniques, and how to develop coping skills in young athletes to identify and handle stress. Dr. Dan has an extensive background in elite sports performance, previously having worked with US Mens and Womens Soccer, US Hockey, US Skiing, as well as top university programs such as Stanford, UNC Charlotte, and University of Utah. Charlotte Independence extends their gratitude to Dr. Dan for his time spent with our staff, and we look forward to welcoming him back to our club later this fall.

GOALKEEPING AT CISC
As part of our club efforts to provide consistency across the Goalkeeper program, the staff have been collaborating to refine curriculum to include a club wide GK program identity, set expectations and accountability for players, incorporate technology and provide transparency with our GK staff. We look forward to hosting our GK families and any other interested members at our 2 upcoming meetings (North and South, Dates TBA). The meetings will provide our members the opportunity to meet the GK staff and allow us to discuss our curriculum, training philosophy, training expectations, player pathway, and the traits and characteristics of a goalkeeper at CISC.

COLLEGE SEMINAR SCHEDULE
Our new college program is up and running under the leadership of Women's College Director Greg Ashton and Men's College Director Phil Hinson. Last week, boys from our USDA program were invited to attend a free CISC seminar that outlined the college recruitment process and addressed many common concerns and issues from an inside look. We have a number of these seminars scheduled for the coming weeks to help educate and inform high school aged players and families.
