The youth soccer parents, get it right?
It’s easy to point out when a player does something great out on the field, we all know that came from skill work.
Hours, days, weeks, months of working on the similar drills.
In the same way, we also have point out to young players that “response” is one of the most important things.
Again and again, we want them to acknowledge:
“How do they respond to mistakes?”
Do their heads go down, shoulders slump, etc?
When they respond to a mistake in this way, it shows people the opponent’ pressure affects them, that they able to scare and rush your player.
Their response something that they can all keep improving on.
And if they change their response to “next play”
Keeping their head up
Staying engaged and focused after whatever happens…
That is something we want to emphasize every single time they train or play
Make sure to share it with all of your youth soccer player if you think improve their performance.
