@labetocha Montse and Deiry need to be on the field together.
So dangerous together.

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

That's an incredibly disappointing result for Mexico in the u20 against Poland.
SO much Mexican talent in that squad.
What's going wrong?

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

@CCupo He simply ‘gets it.’ While most other coaches and clubs in the NWSL always have massive egos with me…. Vlatko quite the opposite, always kind.

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

Vlatko leaving KC is a massive shock.
Achieved SO much there, trusted young talent and guided them to greatness.
Would love to see him back as a head coach in the NWSL

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

@NWSLtoughconvos EXACTLY

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

It’s very very fixable but they need to bring in a great front office and a world class staff
Not difficult

The Chicago Stars have now conceded six goals in back-to-back games, a new level of futility. Eight days after losing 6-1 to Denver, Chicago loses 6-0 at home to North Carolina. The Stars are well on their way to the worst goal difference in #NWSL history (currently -40).

Saved another drill last night? That's the problem. The drill is step three. Diagnosis and a plan are steps one and two, and you skipped them. The feed never sells those. They're free. What are you working on? If you can't write it in one sentence, that's your diagnosis.

@stuholden Now I feel old. Thanks Stu 🤣

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

Going through some old footage.
10 years old.
A session with @stuholden and Tony Gustavsson's son

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

@football_ed Would love that

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

What coach(es) would you like to see in the NWSL?

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

Nike Cryoshot for the win 🙌😍

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

Daejon Love

[HAWK @HawkEmDownChris]

You can’t say Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, or Calvin Johnson. Who’s your favorite NFL wide receiver of all time?

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

Motivation is a guest. It turns up when it fancies, leaves without telling you, and never checks your training plan first. Individual development is all I’ve done for twenty years, and I’ve not met the player who has it every day. Which is why my system has no step called “feel like it”: diagnosis, plan, session, homework, game evidence, review. Every Women’s World Cup since 2007 has had players I’ve trained in it. A run like that is not a mood, it’s a schedule. So shrink your session to the worst-day floor, put it on the calendar so you decide once instead of daily, and count sessions done, not feelings felt.

Use motivation when it visits. Stop needing it.

Save this for the week the feeling doesn’t show up.

@RadioactivClown Agreed. Team seem to like her, could build a world class staff as well

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

I hear fantastic things about Yolanda Thomas.
Could be a good idea for Orlando to build the project around her.
Thoughts?

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

Hell of a team btw

The Massachusetts kid! Ally Sentnor with an incredible strike for Angel City 🚀

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

@labetocha honestly not sure why she would leave a good team to go there

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

would be easier if they simply posted the links to each game being streamed...
