β½οΈ I get asked this question so many times by youth soccer parents.
π Many parents read articles stating kids should always play multiple positions and automatically assume itβs a bad thing to be stuck in one position.
π§ When you combine playing experience with coaching experience you realize itβs sometimes a mixture of instinct, art and science.
π Playing a kid who doesnβt have a strong technical / tactical base consistently in 4 positions in every game can be just as harmful as playing a kid defense for years.
ποΈ Every kid is unique. Some kids thrive being an expert in one position.
π‘ Some ideas
π³π± π§π· Learn how to play with no positions.
π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ Learn how to play with pressure facing, on the side, from behind and at an angle.
π©πͺ πͺπΈ Learn to play in structure and set roles in a team
π Everyone is unique. Over a 15 year period, Master 1 to 3 positions. Explore others in training, and in unstructured and structured environments. Find experts who can spot your true potential

I saw this picture of a young Barcelona player pop up on my feed.
First thoughts

π low centre of Gravity
πΊπΈ πͺπΈ to be honest I donβt know if this kid is Spanish or maybe an American in a Barca USA program
π§ My thoughts. It just reminds me that some players are natural, hand picked and are ready for advanced tactical coaching and the most overvalued word in youth development βgame modelβ π€£π€£π€£
π§° Others need to build their physical, technical toolbox in a more bespoke way
πͺ So many young players I see on fields around the Bay Area would benefit from being taught basic physical and technical skills at a young age before they get too caught up in positional possession
