Don Williams Really liked the point in how chaotic the US youth game is. And a good reason why the player with a higher IQ gets lost in the game here
I posted a few weeks ago the Dallas Cup and Future Cup u17 games. It's abundantly evident how differently the game can be taught/played

Same for ⚽️!
Sports can teach us so much that we can carry forward into adulthood

It should not be about extrinsic rewards

Love this from Daniel Abrahams

Go again!
And again
And again
Until the final whistle blows

We are learning many things from our program in North Carolina.

Unexpectedly, it is easier to engage with parents of kids participating in our school programs than it is engaging with parents of kids playing in clubs. You would think it would be the opposite, but it is not. The…

Rex Chapman🏇🏼 When athletes 1st question is “how much money are u offering” on their visit is a bit of a turnoff from a coaching and fan perspective. That is a pro mentality. Fans watch college sports cause they don’t want to watch the “spoiled” pro athlete. It could affect viewership…

Don Williams He had offers from MLS, and other much larger clubs in Germany but he made the call where he felt coaches really wanted him the most and understood that getting the chance to show what he can do is more valuable than maybe a bigger name club attached at this time. Betting on…

Don Williams I have had few people make some passive aggressive type comments about where my son signed and it’s laughable really. He has made it to the show and will have his chance on stage to prove it, the D1 or bust type mentality carries to academies too where players chase names…

Can’t say this enough!!

Once you’re in, you’ve got a chance!
A shot to prove yourself

What you do with that chance is up to you

I often think of this like TV competition shows…

The stage is set

The audience is there
If you forget the…

When I talked to former female college ⚽️ players about their experiences with burnout in college, this concept was described 270+ times.

Wounds caused by exclusion run deep. Benefits of inclusion are long lasting.

Here's what traditional drill training actually nurtures:

▪️Inattention
▪️Ball Fixation
▪️Tunnel Vision

Then we wonder why our players lack concentration, crowd the ball, and fail to find solutions in a match.

✔️ Consider a new template to nurture vision & precision.

Ray Lifestyle Don Williams I read Dan Abrahams book recently. At one point he links high technical ability to tactical ability. ie If your first touch/ball control is perfect, you have more time to process the game so you appear smarter. He would argue focusing on technical is therefore tactical as well.

lol 😂 but little Johnny needs to pitch at X degree, have X trunk rotation, and he needs a private coach instructing his EVERY pitching move. Then, he will get ahead and become Ohtani.

Youth baseball ⚾️ is broken.

Great point. Change of pace is a huge component.

This is filling fast!
Much faster than I ever expected

Maybe because it’s in beautiful Spain on the Sun Coast

Maybe because it’s not an ID event but instead, pure ⚽️ education by a top level staff

Either way, it’s going to be 🔥

The hardest bit of the #CollegeSoccer recruiting process, for high school players, is getting onto a team.

You are unproven at the College level.

A gamble.

Get in the system, prove your worth, then if you deserve it, your abilities will get to where you want to be.
