Another "Show my Work" moment. My Valencia CF Academy BU19 for the 2025/26 team was an outstanding group of young men. Won their league with style....OUR style. 20% of the roster committed to NCAA programs, including one University that snagged my entire senior midfield! All three of them! https://t.co/kiPrE0n5Yj

If you are an experienced coach in the Seattle area looking to work with a professional club academy, send me a DM right away.

@PaulSpacey What is this club selling? Check the link for the complete list of “elite” leagues on offer. https://t.co/bWAJb4ZxCs.

[Joe Campos @joecampos]

Further evidence that the United States has a culture of leagues and not a culture of clubs. The idea that there is a unified national platform is pure smoke. Harboring team-based leagues and club-based leagues under one roof does not create a unified platform. players and families are still being trained to value “elite” leagues over the club to which they belong. The only way to solve this problem is for @ussoccer to create a single national team-based league with many regional divisions and subdivisions and promotion/relegation. Hard? Yes. But NASA just sent the Artemis II astronauts to the moon. How hard can killing off the elite leagues be? The quality of youth soccer in the United States and the development of American youth players will not improve until we have a culture of clubs. Like it or not, there is a silent war going on and it is between clubs and elite leagues.

I used a video of a stammering politician facing a difficult question from a reporter as a metaphor to explain stammering youth club coaches facing difficult questions from parents. Is that all you’ve got? The metaphor was obviously lost on you. If you contribute to the game and youth player education and development in any meaningful way, state your credentials and provide an educated opinion to the topic initiated by Todd. If you don’t contribute in any meaningful way to youth player, education and development, then state a rational opinion on the topic at hand as a consumer or observer. So far, from you it’s been nothing but ad hominem, and that’s not very compelling at all is it?

[Joe Campos @joecampos]

There are CLEAR and OBVIOUS differences between youth soccer clubs when it comes to identity, method, commitment to coach education and player education. Every coach is on the same page or none of them are. Parents can perform a simple test to discover the truth. ASK your team coach a few questions. What is the club’s identity? What is the club’s methodology? Who is the club’s director of methodology? Who is responsible for making sure every coach is planning and executing their training sessions in accordance with the club’s methodology? How often does the director of methodology hold all coaches meetings for education? Is there frequent and regular homework and study for coaches? Which club leader is responsible for making sure coaches are complying? If they hem and haw and start talking gibberish like AOC, then you know you’re dealing with ignorance and lack of organization and commitment to coach and player education. You’ll know it’s not a club but a shopping mall of independent coaches (shops) who can teach anything or nothing at all. Ask questions and you’ll find out quickly who is faking it and has no answers. See, for example, AOC.

@jjflopuro4 @_ToddBeane Why wouldn’t I proudly defend my work with Valencia CF? No need for you to wonder. I have the answers and I always show my work. Any more questions?

[Joe Campos @joecampos]

@CoachPrunt And hit me up any time for help or ideas you need. Coaches like us need to support each other.

[Joe Campos @joecampos]

@CoachPrunt It is possible. Start with a focus on education.

@QTHESTORMM Let’s go! We need one at our club!

[Joe Campos @joecampos]

Not strange at all. It a visual with impact. It’s a recent and real example of someone who can’t answer a direct question because they don’t know the subject matter, are out of their depth and are trying to fake it till they make it. She was only the most recent and high profile example. My point isn’t political simply because she is a politician. There are others like her, right, left and center, as well as non-politicians, like some youth soccer coaches, who also have no answers to direct questions.

Both organizations are insurance companies selling useless player cards featuring secondary insurance that is hardly ever used. They bank millions of dollars in insurance premiums and hardly ever pay any claims. The consolidation of two insurance companies is something that should require FTC review.

Carstens admitted in the interview to sending messages to Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela’s de facto President. U.S. law prohibits such communications by private citizens if intended to influence the conduct or measures of any foreign government or foreign government officer. Did 60 Minutes not know about this law or did Scott Pelley ask Carstens whether he sent messages in order to put a positive spin on what may or may not have been improper communications? @AGPamBondi https://t.co/6eqCM1n2xO
