‘Vulnerability Is So Important:’ The USWNT Gets Candid About Mental Health Their new initiative will support both pro and young athletes.

In football fitness training, the point is not to train with the ball, the point is to train with our “IDEA”.

Exercises are a tool for improving our idea, and the product of that is the improvement of “Relative football fitness” for that idea.

We don't need absolute exercises with the ball, we need relative exercises with the ball, relative to our idea.

Copying exercises from others means copying others people’s ideas that do not fit into our context.

"We often confuse coaching with controlling something. Coaching has nothing to do with controlling results, but has to do with offering learning.

It is the players, and how much they want to learn and improve, that decide the results."

- P. Aimar

Non-Linear Athlete Development: Understanding the Nature Developing a deeper understanding of how youth soccer players develop and stress parents feel when they compare their child to others.

Imagine how many others are just waiting for their shot as well…great read!

How Naomi Girma broke through soccer’s systemic barriers to become a USWNT star Girma is a precocious talent, a USWNT leader at age 23. But to get here, she needed constant support to circumvent the challenges that American soccer all-to-often throws at immigrant families, the barriers that prevent underprivileged kids from playing the sport.

"The mentally weak athlete is wounded by hardship, while the mentally tough athlete is resilient in spite of it. There is no controlling what's already happened.
There's no controlling what's yet to happen.
All an athlete can control is the present, and it should be all that matters during competition."

-Travis Daugherty

"Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They select their priorities and are comfortable ignoring the rest. If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything."

Failure sounds scary.
Being average sounds scarier.

Commit to the process.
Pursue your potential.

Creating situations that create 'pressure' or making the players uncomfortable is an important part of coaching…

Train accordingly

Are Children Learning or Performing? Sideline Behavior Matters I want my son's environment on the soccer field to be one in which he is able to experience learning, not distracted by sideline behavior - able to concentrate, stay focused and acutely aware of the movements of the ball, his teammates and opponents.

Your mindset will limit you more than your talent will.

Believe in yourself. Believe in your best. Keep moving forward.

Belief drives behavior.

"Winning as a team is better than anything. It's great to share success."

9 Things Mentally Tough Athletes DON'T DO ...

🚫 Panic
🚫 Complain
🚫 Blame others
🚫 Make excuses
🚫 Take part in drama
🚫 Fixate on the negative
🚫 Stay in the comfort zone
🚫 See their perspective only
🚫 Quit when adversity strikes

Dear Athletes,

The time will come when fall will ask what you did all summer … and it will never lie. It will be obvious who committed and who coasted. Who challenged themselves and who cheated themselves. Who raised their level and who risked their role.

Sincerely,
The Truth

Failure is part of the process.
Frustration is part of the process.
Setbacks are part of the process.

Get up. Learn. Remember why you started. Believe. Take the next step.

Keep showing up.

A quote to relate to youth soccer! 🍿 ⚽

Sometimes, players need more time than others to adjust, settle, and thrive... it's important not to compare with those who take less time!

Stu Singer has written a piece on helping your child develop a performance mindset to aid them with performance - you can read it here:

A little humor to start your day 😂

As a coach you’re the role model

Players subconsciously follow your lead

So if your coaching quality deteriorates

Then so will the players quality of play

People respond to actions, not words

Great Coaches do not Coach the Sport.

Great Coaches, Coach PEOPLE.

▪️Build Relationships
▪️Develop a Mindset
▪️Create a Culture

Use your Sport as a vehicle to coach PEOPLE.
