Ep 388: Is Your Kid ACTUALLY Good, or Are You Deluded?
In this episode, we discuss how to evaluate whether your player or kid is legitimately good at soccer.
We share an email received from a concerned father about his 13-year-old son, highlighting the common issue of ‘man child' dominance in youth soccer masking true deficiencies.
We share insights into the rigorous process of player evaluations we personally did at Chivas USA, highlighting the importance of honesty and a strong rapport with both players and parents. We also touch on broader issues like the impact of nepotism in sports and the balance between encouraging talent and keeping young athletes grounded.

Premium Education for either Coaches or Parents
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.
