Coaching soccer, especially in the US, has been embedded in players and/or parents that it must be broken down into small parts/skills then thrown into an unpredictable fast pace, constantly changing environment that involves rapid decision making.

Character!

[The Sporting Resource @TheS_Resource]

🧤 From winger to Premier League champion keeper!

Kasper Schmeichel's journey shows why young players need time to explore:

"I played different positions - I was a winger and a striker...
At 14, I thought: 'What's going to get me to be a Premier League player?' That would be goalkeeper."

👶 Pushing U7-U14s into fixed positions too early limits their potential

⚽ Let them try different roles to discover their strengths

🔑 Self-awareness develops naturally when given freedom to experiment

Parents & coaches: patience pays off! Even the son of a goalkeeping legend needed time to find his true position.

[Tom Byerトム•バイヤー @tomsan106]

In the US, leading a national movement for youth soccer development is incredibly challenging. The country is vast, and the political landscape is draining. Too many competing organizations with conflicting goals present themselves as the ideal path for development. Additionally, there are people in positions of power who lack a true understanding of the development process. If you want to make a real impact, you have to think locally, not nationally. While change may be difficult to achieve at the national level, it’s possible to create meaningful progress within individual communities.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it.

If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.

For those coaches intrigued by Cognitive Load Theory for sports coaching…

See the wonderful graphic below by @XpatEducator

This is for teachers, but a highly relevant graphic for coaches to help them make sense of session design and instructions…with relevance to Cognitive Load Theory

Take some time to read through this and make sense of Cognitive Load Theory for your coaching practice.

Also listen to my podcast episode with the very awesome @Jattaylor and @Rdtaylor_16 talking about their paper on cognitive science in coaching here: https://t.co/z05I56NYAU
