I'm Neil Crawford, a dedicated soccer dad and the founder Anytime Soccer Training. When I embarked on the journey of coaching my two sons in soccer, I encountered a tough question: How could I nurture their skills while keeping the game enjoyable and steering clear of burnout?

I grappled with the idea of being their coach versus simply playing with them. Would they truly develop the necessary skills for success if I took a more casual approach? On the other hand, hiring a private trainer seemed tempting, but it came with a hefty price tag and might detract from our precious family time.

Balancing these concerns, I questioned if I should wait until they displayed a deeper interest in soccer. But would postponing their training mean missing out on crucial developmental opportunities? And why did I even want them to excel in competitive soccer?

In my quest for guidance, I scoured resources but found little tailored to parents like myself who took an active role in their children's training. Existing materials often highlighted the risks of overbearing parents, rather than offering constructive advice.

Frustrated by the lack of resources, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Thus, the Anytime Soccer Training Parent-Trainer Podcast Series. was born.

Through this podcast, I candidly share my experiences and insights as a parent who actively trains his own children. I offer practical tips to fellow parent trainers, aiming to steer them away from common pitfalls and guide their children toward soccer success.

I'm open to feedback and constructive criticism, encouraging discussions within the Anytime Soccer Training Facebook Group.

As a parent-trainer, I firmly believe in taking responsibility for my children's development while recognizing the importance of balance between training and enjoyment. Deliberate practice is key, and I'm committed to guiding my children's progress in soccer and beyond.

Whether you're a fellow parent-trainer or simply curious about the topic, I invite you to join me each week on the Anytime Soccer Training Parent-Trainer Podcast Series. Let's navigate the intricate world of soccer parenting and coaching together.

Welcome to our latest episode where we discuss youth soccer in Germany with our special guest, Tony Rocha, an American military member based in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

Tony Rocha shares his personal experience as a parent with two sons playing youth soccer in Germany. He talks about the different levels of soccer clubs available, from recreational teams to competitive clubs.

He also highlights the importance of having a good coach and team environment to help young players develop their skills.

We dive deeper into the structure and organization of youth soccer in Germany. Tony talks about the German Football Association (DFB) and its role in regulating youth soccer. He discusses the different levels of competition and how teams are organized by age and skill level.

Tony shares his insights on the training methods used in Germany, emphasizing individual skill development and the use of small-sided games to improve player decision-making.

Tony also discusses the cultural differences between youth soccer in Germany and the United States. He shares his thoughts on the importance of physical fitness and conditioning in German youth soccer, as well as the emphasis on technical skills over physical attributes.

He talks about the focus on team play and how it's fostered through a strong team culture.

We wrap up the episode by thanking Tony for sharing his insights into youth soccer in Germany. It's clear that the German approach to youth soccer emphasizes technical skill development, individual and team play, and a strong team culture.

This system has produced some of the world's top soccer players and could serve as a model for youth soccer development worldwide. We hope you enjoyed this episode and look forward to bringing you more exciting interviews in the future.
