@CoachBeede One thing I started early that everyone needs to start early (especially starting High school) is Video everything. You'll not only get the highlights, you'll also have a track record of development. Usually the first question from a coach is "Do you have any video?"

[Say Hi James @SayHiJames]

@mkorneski @DigglesDiamonds @CoachBeede I think the portal is also a cop out for coaches... you don't have to uphold your promises to develop players anymore. If you don't like them after a year or so, tell them to hit the portal.

@noahkagan @ericries Just went on a walk with a fellow business owner, He said, "I am reading 'Million Dollar Weekend', but I don't remember the author."
I chimed in "Oh, Noah Kagan" and he said "That's It!" like I just won a major award.

@Don_K_Williams Even less once you start your substitutions!

@baseballbatbros The only AI we need right now.

@JPR_25 3v3 to end zones

@TaylorTwellman I gave up on my "non-soccer friends" years ago.

@CoachMattLA @National1League @uklasoccer @USClubSoccer @USYouthSoccer @TheECNL More $$$

[Say Hi James @SayHiJames]

This seems like a double edged sword... you could just be developing players for the transfer portal. Also, who says you'll have a job long enough to realize the benefits?

[Don Williams @Don_K_Williams]

I think we will see more and more of this in the D1 world

@PaulSpacey Jokes on you, my kid doesn't watch TV, he looks at Tik Tok. 😂

[Say Hi James @SayHiJames]

Defenders better start watching her more. 🌹⚽️👀

[Portland Thorns FC @ThornsFC]

@Don_K_Williams Unpopular Opinion: I see this as the development of a "North American" system of play. I don't think it is a complete style of play, but it is one of the things (good or bad) that makes North American soccer unique.
(It's the closest to a "system of play" that we have.)

[Say Hi James @SayHiJames]

@PaulSpacey If he can do it live in front of an audience in the first few tries, then sign him... if this is the 5000th take on his self-filmed Insta video, I may have some doubts. (Great shot though)

I'm starting to think ECNL ⚽️ is a marketing program from the major airlines to make more money.
ECNL - Endless Costs, National Layovers
Bringing families together - in airports across the country.

Saw this here yesterday and used this scoring method in a game of 3v3 last night. Kids loved it and it made for some very competitive matches.

[TheBeardedCoach @PeterPrickett]

This game is still super popular with the players.

[Say Hi James @SayHiJames]

There's something amazing as a ⚽️ coach when you make halftime adjustments, the players take in the information and execute which leads to success. It really brings together everything we talk about when working as a "team"

[Say Hi James @SayHiJames]

Say it louder for the player (who is talking to her friend while your trying to make the point) in the back

[David Copeland Smith @BeastModeSoccer]

Your first touch should be decided before the ball reaches you.

[Say Hi James @SayHiJames]

@AdvFtbAcad How is that unopposed... is there not a keeper? Looks like a great shot placement drill (probably on a player recovery day?)

[Say Hi James @SayHiJames]

@kieronbutton17 Complete a pass over 15 yards? But the rondo was only in an 8x8 grid!

Everybody wants to be a bull rider until it’s time to actually ride the bull.

@JoeAratari Wait until they get to D1 and have to lift, practice, play, eat right, travel, go to class, get treatment, study, do conditioning/speedwork, and get 8hrs of sleep. All day every day.
