Can a Great Youth Coach Have a Team That Can’t Connect Passes?

October 9, 2026 · 25 min

Every coach will tell you the answer “depends.” I’m not buying it. In this episode of The Inside Scoop, I ask a question that makes a lot of people uncomfortable: if a team can’t string passes together, what is that telling you about the…
Give Kids Fewer Choices and Watch Them Learn Faster

October 2, 2026 · 25 min

I'll admit it: my approach goes against common youth coaching practice. When I started coaching, I believed kids could grasp tactical concepts much earlier than we give them credit for. So instead of giving young players endless options, I…
The Magic Wand Exercise: Day One of Building a Vision

October 2, 2026 · 9 min

I wish someone had shared this with me when I was 16. In this short episode, I sit down with my son Adam, who's at an MLS academy, and give him his first task in our mental skills series. I introduce the "magic wand" method: imagine your…
Performance Isn't Enough: My 30-Day Mental Toughness Challenge

October 2, 2026 · 18 min

I've spent years focused on technical training. My 16-year-old son has reached the advanced academy level, and he's learning something I didn't prepare him for: performance alone is not enough. In this short episode, I announce a 30-day…
What If We Broke the Rules of the Real Game?

October 2, 2026 · 25 min

Last weekend, a parent on the sideline criticized my son's team for not keeping the ball after scoring. That got me thinking: what if the game itself were designed to demand it? What if neither team could win by more than one goal? Coaches…

Being Paid Doesn't Make a Player or a Program Professional

September 30, 2026 · 23 min

In this episode, I respond to a comment from the Anytime Soccer Training Facebook group about whether being paid is what makes a player or a program professional. The commenter's point is that unpaid means amateur and paid means…
Standards, Reform, and Why Change in Youth Soccer Is So Hard

September 29, 2026 · 19 min

A rec program can have high standards and an elite one can have low ones. I explain how standards can fall short at the regional, national, or international level, why reform gets pushback, and why any fix, like pro-rel, has to consider…
Is All US Youth Soccer Rec Why Standards Matter More Than Labels

September 29, 2026 · 37 min

Most parents can skip this debate, but the "everything is rec" argument keeps coming up. I break down what recreational really means and why the real conversation is about standards and organizational discipline.
Is All US Youth Soccer Really "Rec"? The Question Nobody's Asking

September 28, 2026 · 37 min

Everyone's arguing about whether all US youth soccer is "just rec." But what if that's the wrong question? In this episode of The Inside Scoop, I break down why the loudest voices in youth soccer content keep missing the point, and why…
Dribbling vs. Tactics Why Both Matter Early

September 25, 2026 · 16 min

I take on the debate over whether young players should focus on dribbling or tactical awareness first. My take: you can sharpen technical skills later, but tactical understanding gets much harder to teach past 14. I break down how…
Why Sending Drills Home Isn't Enough

September 25, 2026 · 15 min

I dig into why just telling players to practice a skill — like passing with their weak foot — rarely leads anywhere. Sending home a drill or a video isn't the same as creating real behavior change. That takes documented expectations…
Is Running Laps a Waste of Time? I'm Not So Sure Anymore

September 14, 2026 · 8 min

I watched a game this weekend that changed how I think about fitness in practice. Two teams, similar talent, wildly different outcome — and it came down to something most coaches don't want to talk about. I'm breaking down what I saw…
