Scottish-born college soccer coach Ben Taylor brings a fresh, overseas perspective to youth sports in America, and it might just change the way you think about your kid’s team schedule. Emily and Ben talk about the big cultural differences between how kids grow up playing sports in the UK versus here in the States, why choosing the right coach matters way more than chasing elite leagues, and how to help your child stay in love with the game. Whether your kid is just kicking off their first season or you’re knee-deep in club sports, this is a conversation full of honesty, wisdom, and encouragement for sports parents everywhere.
