In this episode, I go on a short rant that probably won’t make me more popular—but I think it needs to be said. I talk openly about why I don’t believe “bad soccer parents” are the biggest problem in youth development, why coaches focus so much on things they can’t control, and why the real work still happens Monday through Friday on the training ground.
If you’re a coach or parent who’s tired of hearing that you are the problem, this one is for you.
