Dad. Soccer Fan. Coach. Developing players to their highest potential on and off the pitch. Let them play.

[Coach Nick Valenti @CoachNickMoScr]

@BeastModeSoccer Let’s be honest- an event like this would be for parents (maybe big ego coaches) and perpetuate FOMO of their kids being “the best”while they seek to justify their spending! Let kids play at the level that they can be most successful at and still love the game!

[Daniel Abrahams @DanAbrahams77]

You can see a player on your team is lacking in confidence

Perhaps they’re:

-looking lethargic
-hiding
-looking lost
-reacting with stronger than normal emotion
-quieter than usual
-making uncommon errors

It’s time to help. But how?

Parents & Coaches can learn a lot from seeing the game from the side of the ref! There is a shortage of officials in our area mostly due to poor sideline behavior! We must do better!

By choosing an in-game persona we give ourselves a better chance for our predictive brain to decide to engage with that last lung busting run. We give ourselves a better chance to engage in that tackle…

The team you’re on is less important than the attitude, effort & energy you bring. Freshman, Sophomore, JV, Varsity, starter, 2nd string, role player, etc. doesn’t define who you are. How you respond to your role, while working for the role you want & helping your team win, DOES!

My short post on how to help a player develop their confidence...

Key coach communication skills:

-asking the right questions
-listening and prompting
-elaboration

PARENTS: If you want to help your children improve their sport performance, consider being more silent on the sidelines and more vociferous about sleep and nutrition. Your children will manage the field just fine as you control the home environment.👍 #TOVO

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Parents: Your kids have to learn to dig deep, struggle & fight their way out of adversity. You can put them on every kind of competitive team, get them a trainer & extra practice, but if they can’t claw their way past the troubles that WILL come, they’ll never develop as athletes

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Parents: You can’t force your child to be motivated. You can’t make them do more, but you should be teaching them that if they choose to do the minimum, that’s what they’ll get in return. Eventually, they’ll learn the hard way that the bare minimum doesn’t produce desired results

[Madi Valenti @ValentiMadi]

What is the thing you think holds coaches back from developing players? Aside from wanting to win/ego.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

You have no control over what other people are doing or saying & really, why would you care. Just concentrate on helping & serving others. Focus on those who’re important in your life, the things you can control & how you can impact others. In the end, that’ll say it all.
