Every coach will tell you the answer “depends.” I’m not buying it. In this episode of The Inside Scoop, I ask a question that makes a lot of people uncomfortable: if a team can’t string passes together, what is that telling you about the coaching?

I'll admit it: my approach goes against common youth coaching practice. When I started coaching, I believed kids could grasp tactical concepts much earlier than we give them credit for. So instead of giving young players endless options, I limit thei... more

I wish someone had shared this with me when I was 16. In this short episode, I sit down with my son Adam, who's at an MLS academy, and give him his first task in our mental skills series. I introduce the "magic wand" method: imagine your ideal life a... more

I've spent years focused on technical training. My 16-year-old son has reached the advanced academy level, and he's learning something I didn't prepare him for: performance alone is not enough. In this short episode, I announce a 30-day journey to bu... more

  • Must Listen for Soccer Obsessed Parents

    If you are a soccer obsessed parent looking for a friend that shares your passion but has the knowledge to create a meaningful, positive impact on your athlete, this podcast is for you. Neil’s calm demeanor helps guide the passion we feel as parents towards individual developmental with accountability and away from yelling from the sidelines or blaming others. Required listening for all parents of players I coach and highly recommended for parents of competitive players.

  • Needs specific skills, drills, examples, stories

    Every podcast has the same message- work hard& aquire skills. Got it. That’s why I’m here. I keep skipping through looking for actual help- this is #6 and no specifics. To the podcast creator, listen to Against All Odds, watch Become Elite or 7mlc on YouTube. I think there is absolutely a lack of info towards parents & would like to see the podcast be successful, but it needs more specifics.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From the Streets of San Salvador to the Page: Carlos Mojica on Writing "Goal" and Soccer's Cultural Roots
Q: Carlos, tell us a little about the book Goal and what you hope kids take away from it.
Goal is designed as an approachable entry point into soccer for children and parents, with the aim that by the end readers will understand the basics and feel inspired to love the sport, while also serving as a reference that kids will carry with them.
How Many Hours Did I Really Train? A Pro Player Gets Honest About His Childhood
Q: What was your family's involvement like before you joined FC Bangkok?
His dad helped train when possible but did not push him, allowing Erik to lead, which contributed to a healthy relationship with football; family financial support was present but not burdensome due to his father's company supporting living overseas.
How Many Hours Did I Really Train? A Pro Player Gets Honest About His Childhood
Q: How many hours a week were you doing something soccer related between ages 8 and 14?
Erik details a mix of two long sessions plus three to four regular sessions weekly, adding up to roughly 14 hours on weekdays, about 1.25 hours on weekends, and around 3 hours on extra days, totaling roughly 25 hours per week on soccer-related activity.
Why European Soccer Is Different (Pro Footballer Erik McCue)
Q: Do you literally translate a lot of what you're learning in real time to the advice you give young players?
Yes, the information is filtered and delivered step by step, tailored to younger players so they can digest it and apply it during games and training.
Why European Soccer Is Different (Pro Footballer Erik McCue)
Q: So Erik, you play soccer in Thailand, Sweden, and the US. What were some of the biggest differences in terms of culture and style of play that you noticed by playing in those different countries?
The main differences are the work ethic and tactical emphasis: Thailand and the US are very hustle-oriented and athletic, while Sweden is more tactical with a stronger focus on game understanding and analysis, including extensive video sessions.
