NEWS: MLS Next has issued new guidance to its clubs that high school players in the development platform's top tier (homegrown division) will have to choose between playing for their clubs or high schools next season: https://t.co/j8rNYde0ca

🚨🎙️Andrea Pirlo talking about Pedri:

When I watch Pedri, I see a player who refuses to be rushed by the chaos. Most midfielders today are afraid of the ball; they want to get rid of it as quickly as possible so they do not make a mistake. Pedri? He keeps the ball like a secret. He has that rare, silent authority over the grass.

He doesn't just pass; he dictates. He doesn't just run; he glides into spaces that don't exist until he decides they do. In Spain, they speak of La Pausa, but for Pedri, it is more than a pause—it is a choice. He chooses when the game should breathe and when it should strike.

To me, he is the best in the world right now because he is the only one who understands the ultimate sophistication: that the simplest pass is often the most lethal. He is not a runner; he is an architect. And in a stadium full of noise, he is the only one playing the perfect melody."

🤯 Este video del Barça de Guardiola haciendo un rondo el día antes de aplastar al Manchester United en Wembley siempre me ha parecido una locura:

[Don Williams @Don_K_Williams]

I’ve had college players refuse to go in for a few final minutes
“I’m not a scrub player”
The player told me

Later I explained that 1 good minute can turn into 2
2 can turn into 5
5 good minutes can turn into 10
Etc

Coaches play players they trust

When a player gets a shot, they get a shot at earning coaches trust

Athlete: Coach… I think I want to quit.

Coach: Okay. Then let’s talk about why.

Athlete: I’m tired. All the early mornings, the pain, the pressure. Sometimes I wake up and wonder what I’m even doing this for.

Coach: That’s not quitting. That’s being human. Doubt shows up when you’re close to something that matters.

Athlete: But I’m not even sure I’m good enough. I look around and see people stronger, faster… happier.

Coach: Comparison is a liar. It shows you everyone’s surface but hides their struggle. You don’t need to be better than them. You need to be better than yesterday.

Athlete: What if I never win? What if I give everything and still fall short?

Coach: Then you’ll walk away with something most never touch—truth. The kind you only find when you’ve emptied yourself for something bigger than comfort.

Athlete: So… you think I should keep going?

Coach: I think you already know the answer. You wouldn’t be having this conversation if you truly wanted to stop. You just want someone to remind you that it’s worth it.

Athlete: It hurts, Coach. Some days, it really hurts.

Coach: Good. That means you care. And nothing worth having comes without pain. Now breathe. You’ve made it through every hard day so far.
Most quit before the breakthrough!

Don’t be like most!

Next Play mentality!!!

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Getting very angry at yourself after making mistakes in games isn’t going to help you play any better, so you might as well stay calm and continue to do the best you can. Leave your mistakes in the past. Learn from them, move on, and focus on the next play!

[Shawn Siemers @Siemers_XC_TF]

Every coach has that one quiet kid.
Shows up.
Does the work.
Never says a word louder than a whisper.

And then one day…
competition starts
and they turn into an absolute menace.

You look at your assistant like,
“Where has THAT been hiding?”

They don’t brag.
They don’t chest-bump.
They just walk back like,
“Okay, what’s next?”

Quiet kids are wild.
You think they’re shy.
Turns out they’ve been studying everyone in the room
and choosing violence at the perfect moment.
