In this episode we discuss the intricacies of establishing a strong team culture in American youth soccer, emphasizing the importance of clear communication, accountability, and commitment from both coaches and players.

The episode covers practical ways to handle star players and toxic parents, stressing the role of parents in supporting team dynamics. We again mention the ever-present root problem in youth soccer – culture or otherwise – stems from the lack of promotion and relegation at the professional level.

The episode also touches on common misconceptions surrounding coaching licenses, along with the pitfall that is “letting the players play”.
