In this episode of The Inside Scoop, I unpack what I call the universal answer — a framework I use to respond to nearly every question parents ask about their child’s soccer development.

This time, the question was: “How can I help my child be more aggressive on the field?” Instead of offering a quick fix, I explain why words like “aggressive” are often too vague to be useful — and how to transform that frustration into teachable moments.

I walk through a clear, step-by-step method:

• Define the specific behavior you want to see
• Identify players who model it well
• Pinpoint when and where it happens in the game
• Create opportunities to practice it — in a way that’s positive and age-appropriate

Because “aggression” isn’t about changing your child’s personality — it’s about building clarity, repetition, and confidence.
