Eric Dombach: How business rules and concepts can be used in soccer

From Eric Dombach

Aside from maintaining a crucial role as the President of an Internet-based series of coaching modules, The Coaches’ Coach, Eric Dombach also finds time to engage in sports like soccer. He has been a volunteer soccer coach for the last five years and just recently, he served as an assistant coach to the high school soccer team that his oldest son is a member of — a great way to spend time to build up a strong father-son relationship.


More than half of the young soccer team’s members were greenhorns to high school soccer which showed in their performance on the field: too much dribbling, not enough passing, unnecessary showmanship, and lack in sportsmanship.


Realizing how his business coaching techniques would fit to the game’s disciplines, Eric Dombach took the initiative to co-manage the soccer team. He encouraged the players to do “drop pass” — a pass backward to a midfielder — instead of dribbling through a thicket of defenders. Such concept applies true to a business where an entrepreneur thinks out of the box to create new products or marketing schemes that are minimally used by the majority of business establishments.

Eric also suggested to “switch the field” by passing laterally to the other side of the field instead of driving forward into heavy traffic. Like in business, a company must learn how to avoid a venture that has been flooded with lots of gimmicks, scams, or controversies. For business coaches like Eric Dombach, creating a company’s own niche in the industry would be a very wise move to undertake.


These strategies are just a few of the many ideas that wise business thinkers could develop. Like soccer players who have deep understanding of the game, businessmen must also learn how to think in a higher and more matured level.
