Join me and experienced coach Paul Spacey as we dive into the nuances of soccer training and development.

We discuss how 80% of David Beckham’s training can be done unopposed, the importance of understanding opposed vs. unopposed training, and the role of repetition in player development.

With insights from Paul’s extensive coaching background in Southern California, we explore the psychology of winning, the challenges faced by small clubs in the U.S. soccer landscape, and the broader implications of politics and societal issues on the sport. Tune in for an engaging conversation that touches on both practical coaching tips and larger cultural contexts.

00:00 Intro

If you are a coach or a parent of a player, we’ve also codified and made available the remarkable work of a coach who trained and shepherded many, many players from the age of 9 all the way to graduating them to being professionals.

The products that show you how this was done, is what sponsors this episode.

Get aboard a proven path, a legitimately proven path, not something copied or synthesized from elsewhere, or worse. No, but rather a first hand account and curriculum directly from the source, from the practitioners themselves, whose work is unprecedented in the American soccer environment.
