Imagine a new approach to soccer in America: integrating the game fully into schools!
Pros:
1. Accessibility: Soccer becomes more accessible to all students, regardless of their background, promoting inclusivity and talent discovery.
2. Cost Savings: Families could save

Game IQ is a severe problem in youth soccer in America. Not only for the kids but for the parents, too.
They are over-invested in training, playing games, and winning trophies but underestimate the value of watching, researching, and learning the game.

I often catch myself telling players not to be so hard on themselves.
Then I remember my upbringing.
I was wrong. You should be hard on yourself.
Being hard on yourself gets results.
It’s the negative self-talk that keeps you from the results you desire.

Players that are motivated and passionate feel better about themselves and think better about self-improvement. If you can make someone who is motivated and passionate think a bit about why they are playing soccer, then you can help them improve their game.

In my experience, players above the age of 14 progress slower technically than, let's say, a 10 year who has a good grasp of the game.
@CoachingCruz
It’s all relative to where the player is looking to go play , age , etc ? You can always learn the techniques of ball mastery but it’s how fast you can do said techniques in a game situation.

Preaching!!
Probably the biggest misconception from people on the outside is that we pretty much just turn up & coach!
Most people don't realise how much goes on behind the scenes, so many coaches put their heart and sole into it for no financial gain.
It's all about the love of the game❤️

The truth is I have regrets.
I didn’t do everything I could to reach my goals as a young player.
I made a lot of bad choices.
I made a lot of excuses.
I hid behind my pride.
But I’m here now to teach the young players what I should have done.
I was you once.

There are more joystick coaches than skill trainers.
The skill trainers focus on developing players' skills and allowing them to express themselves (at least the ones I know), while the joystick coaches restrict touches' and discourage dribbling.

Same for Arsenal
Anyone who claims city is a “boring” team doesn’t understand the game.
The level of detail with off the ball movement - technical execution & confidence on the ball is world class.
Ridiculously organized.
I hate that they are this good… but you can’t discredit their dominance

Technical player development can't be forced, rushed, or guaranteed. This makes it more important to understand development as a whole and not through the guise of just grit.

How players juggle a football identifies how much personal time they have spent with the ball.
If time builds stronger relationships/bonds between people, imagine what it could do with a football.
