TIFU My son begged me to volunteer for his soccer(football) league…I got picked as a head coach…I don’t play soccer never have

What was I thinking…. I played football(American), basketball, tennis, and I was on the swim team in high school. I’m familiar with sports but I never played soccer. My son loves the game and has played for several seasons now but this year the league had a big shortage on volunteers and my son begged and begged me to sign up so I did thinking I would be an assistant coach or something but no they game me a team. I don’t watch competitive soccer on TV I’m personally not that big into the sport all my time is spent crying over the 49ers and the Kings… I have ordered the equivalent of “coaching kids soccer for idiots” and I have less than 3 weeks to figure this out

TL:DR I don’t know Jack about coaching soccer…son convinced me to volunteer… thought I would be an assistant or helper…got picked as a head coach…. In way over my head…
