In our latest episode, I had an amazing conversation with Benyam Muluneh, a fellow soccer dad with a six-year-old.

We dove into some of the best ways to train your child in soccer right at home. From drills to techniques, we shared our top tips to help your child become a better player.

But wait, there's more! We also uncovered some unglamorous yet crucial steps that many experts don't talk about, giving you the real inside scoop on what it takes to help your child succeed.

Worried about not being a soccer expert? No problem! Our tips and techniques are super easy to follow and don't require any prior knowledge or experience. Plus, we've got additional resources and support to guide you every step of the way.

I've been thinking a lot about why parents are actually the best-positioned people to help their kids improve at soccer — you're right there, every day, and you don't need to hire a trainer to make a real difference. In this episode, I sit down with fellow soccer dad Michael Byers to talk through exactly how to get started.

We get into the questions I hear most:

• Where do you even begin?
• Why should you be the one doing this?

And we talk honestly about the mistakes parents tend to make along the way. Michael and I dig into those first steps — what it actually looks like to build a structured practice routine that grows your kid's skills and confidence, without turning every backyard session into a fight or burning them out.

One more thing before you go: I'm working on a future episode specifically about training kids under six, so stay tuned for that.

What if everything you thought you knew about developing a soccer player was wrong? In this episode of The Inside Scoop | Youth Soccer Podcast, Coach Isaac Acolatse — a native of Ghana and top coach at Utah FC Spider — takes us deep into the streets of Accra, where football isn't a hobby. It's survival. It's identity. It's life.

What happens to a child who grows up chasing a ball in Ghana? What do they develop that others don't? And what secrets does that journey hold for every soccer parent listening right now?

What does it actually take to develop world-class soccer players? In this episode, I sit down with Remi Dejonge from Fletcher Moss Rangers — the legendary grassroots club in Manchester, England that produced Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, and a string of other elite talents. Manchester United has taken notice, recently signing six of their young players.

Remi pulls back the curtain on what youth soccer looks like in Manchester — the culture, the coaching philosophy, and what makes a grassroots program like Fletcher Moss punch so far above its weight. If you've ever wondered what American youth soccer could learn from the way England develops players at the grassroots level, this conversation will open your eyes.
