Christmas came early 💪🎅 ⚽️

⚽️ Spectators: please read your club’s code of conduct . If they have one 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

⚽️ I’m talking about the MLS youth level. A question parents often ask, or at least think about. .


⚽️ Every player’s development curve can be different.


- Some players will give up too early after facing some adversity. Some will be right to do so. .


- Some will think they’re working hard, but in reality there will be many working harder than them. Be honest with yourself.


- Some that are already playing at the MLS level will get comfortable, and complacent, and if you’ve put in the work you’ll be ready to take your chance.


- Some will continue to work hard no matter what. Some will see results right away, others may take longer. Time will be their best friend.



✍️ WHICH PLAYER WILL YOU BE? ⚽️

⚽️ It’s the player, not the cleats. 🔻 Tag a player who cares more about how he looks on the field than actually playing the game 🤔 🤦‍♂️

⚽️ Players always ask me: coach, what can I improve on? I can tell you what I see but at the end of the day you have to put in the work and make it happen.



⚽️ Own your development. Don’t wait on your coach to make you better. If you can understand this, you can accomplish a lot ⚽️🤙


⚽️ Bonus tip: Watch someone you admire or want to be like who’s already doing what you want to do. Try to copy the things they do well 👀.
