Additional Training

[Guest]

Asked a few parents where their kids go for extra training and they wouldn’t say… why what’s the big deal? Like we are on the same team. Thoughts?

A lot of people are idiots and think your kid may become better and theirs will move to the bench. These are also a lot of the same people who take their kids to weaker clubs to play so they can score 10 goals a game and Maradona around kids looking like a pro. I believe that if the team is to become better then everyone should have access to more training and if they do it or not it is on them. If the team has more competition then my kid either gets better or rides the pine, it is on her. My D went to SJEB technical training years ago and got involved with futsal early as well as. She has done different sessions with various coaches at clinics through the years but they are no longer in the area. Over the last few years she has done sessions at A-Game, NCE, Kemp and Akka every once in awhile when it fits the schedule and trained on and off with private trainers when available. When she was younger she did the workouts from Beast Mode Soccer and Renegade Soccer as well as YouTube. SJ doesn't have as much to offer now as it did years ago. A lot of what I get emails for now revolves around SJEB/Total Turf at the u13 and younger ages, Universal Soccer Academy, NCE and occasionally Akka and A-Game. I'm sure NJ has a lot more to offer though.

Some - not all - parents are nuts. Find the sane ones, they're out there. Ask around for recommendations outside the team. It's a small soccer world and chances are you know others who have kids in the sport. Also, what kind of training do they need? That matters too if looking for someone.

But does your kid need extra training? why? If your kid isn't playing much, training probably won't get them more PT.. Your player needs to want it, be hungry for it and be willing to work harder for it. Just dumping him with a trainer for 1-2 hours a week won't do it. Perhaps they need to move down a level with a team that's a better fit.

As poster above said, it is jealousy and fear. I used to tell people about the extra stuff my kid did, and I even would bring groups of girls to the futsal trainer we had but gradually we found out that the same people whose kids we were inviting and bringing to things were doing their own stuff and being super secretive about it. Ive said it before but most of the people on the sidelines are not actually your friends! SOme are and they will be cool and understand that the kids training pushes everyone forward but many are very thin skinned, jealous and scared and it manifests in this type of stuff. My advice, do your own thing and if you are going to invite other players just be confident that they'd reciprocate.

not OP but some kids just like playing more. YOung kids may only have 1-2 practice per week with their team for a total of 2-3 hours and if they really want to play, a futsal or training program can be good extra exercise and fun.

This is definitely true.

Then send them out to the backyard or hook them up with a few other kids for some unsupervised scrimmages. Free play is far more beneficial than anything organized - of and it's free to play too.

Lol free play of executing bad habits isn't going to help a kid.

Problem is its hard to find kids who will just play pick up ball now, especially for girls. Thts why futsal groups are good bc there’s usually a good amount of time for games and the groups are very mixed.

I'll take creative free time away from adults all week long. Younger kids here are over coached compared to abroad

I guess Nicks training works.

Ryan Tetro from Matchfit Shore is a drunken loser who encourages his players to intentionally hurt other players. Any parents that still think this guy is a great coach and role model for your kids need to have your head examined.
