If there is anything that should be changing right now in the soccer landscape in America it should not be the birth year vs grad year. How about we talk about kids playing 7v7/9v9/11v11 way too early. Change that. That is more important in regards to player development.

Coaching matters—but good players elevate each other more than any drill can. If your best players train with intensity, make smart decisions, and demand high standards, the whole squad rises.

13 Game Principles | Pattern vs Recognition 🗣️ “Ball to fullback = winger inside.” vs. 🧠 “Fullback has the ball? Offer a pass, ideally on a diagonal.” There’s a big difference between telling players what to do and guiding them to read the game and find solutions.
