"A Word From The Director"

The Clint Greenwood Soccer Academy has been involved in Soccer Training & Education for over 27 years. It is a system of teaching and nurturing  high level players to stay sharp and fit both mentally and physically. The difference in speed of play was the first obvious weakness between European Soccer and U.S. Soccer.  "As a professional player just coming off a season abroad in England and Wales,  Clint was able to implement the speed of play, aggressiveness, and professionalism of the Europeans, and the game changing skill he had obtained throughout his entire career as a Footballer. Explains Gavin Tait, "Cardiff City Coach".

The ideology of the system is called The Greenwood Method. Coach Greenwood implemented this style of teaching in every program that he offered. Whether it was a camp, clinic, or private instruction, Clint Greenwood's skill and magical way of teaching some of the most sophisticated dribbling demonstrations was always a selling point.

"Bringing a serious approach to Football in The States is my daily objective, but creating new and improved curriculum's for best results of an ever changing style of player in the world is my passion." explains Director, Clint Greenwood."

 

The uniqueness and innovative exercises have been proven to be a very important mainstay component at The Clint Greenwood Soccer Academy.  But the success in teaching students the importance of Love, Respect, Honor, Tradition, Professionalism, and Gratitude has been the Backbone and Blue Print that has transformed the overall philosophy.  It is these 5 blessings that all these character traits are built on and continually taught at CGSA, and put in this order of importance and continued attention.

  1.  God

  2.  Family

  3.  Football and Academy Education

  4. Team and Club

  5. Each One Teach One 

 

"Experience is the foundation of Wisdom, but if you have been IN AN ENVIRONMENT LEARNING FROM PROGRAMS WITHOUT ANY WISDOM, your overall knowledge suffers, thence your wisdom shall be limited. Open minded students capture and receive the grace of their will, but others don't approach things with an open eye and ear to hear. They think they could do it all on their own. A true successful student is curious about what they could do to better themselves each and every day taking in all the knowledge and turning it into their purpose. At CGSA Surpass your Best and become someone who wants to be a better child of God,  person, family member, community leader, and Footballer with wisdom to share with others and the ones who follow."

 

Director of Program, Clint Greenwood.

DO YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

To embrace The Greenwood Mentality (Driven Mindset Towards Being The Best) is to stay steadfast in your commitment to strong never yield attitude that serves as the ultimate bar that becomes the player's will that transpires into the development of The Best Version Of Yourself. If you want to be the best, than sacrifice and curiosity are the 7 main components that an elite athlete has to have in order to be the very  BEST. It is these two components that significantly drive one's ability in skills, athleticism, mental strength, and education.  The TGM is the mindset of an elite athlete, or whatever trade you desire to be the best at. To accomplish ultimate success and greatness you have to be prepared to go all the way. These driven personality traits are the DNA of The Very Best.

  1. Curiosity is the Avenue to Greatness and Growth (Always search education of Football  from proper experience sources)

  2. Be Better Today Than You Were Yesterday.

  3. Develop Your Super Brain (Education Through Constant Curiosity)

  4. Find Out How Others Before You Did It and Improve it By Taking Responsibility over What is Required To Be Great.

  5. Make it Your Own (Declare It).

  6. Don't Ever Be Outworked!

"DON'T TAKE SHORTCUTS!"

A growth mindset is the idea that when meeting a challenge, we respond not with “I can’t do this,” but rather, how can I learn to do this?” Carol Dweck, Ph.D., one of the pioneers of fixed-versus-growth mindset research, says that unwarranted praise can promote a fixed mindset in children. The same is true of ourselves. While we should respond with self-encouragement after failing, we should also hold ourselves accountable, don’t let ourselves off the hook too easily. At its core, a growth mindset isn’t blind positivity, but rather the understanding that knowledge and achievement comes from the accumulation of hard work and practice. Train your mind to think differently than before. And become a student the attains constant curiosity on different ways to become an elite Footballer.
