What's wrong with kicking deep?

Sounds like a cook here or a restaurant owner. I agree with everything you said. However, having raised a few athletes, I think that we attribute more reasoning to those little brains than is actually happening. I love the example about running into the corner and crossing the ball. You’ll watch kids do it over and over again. They need an adult to help them see that the strategy is not working. They might do so by asking questions during the game or after they notice the pattern. If it concretizes the pattern might take forever to break or never be broken.

Exactly. A huge issue is how bad most coaches are. They don't address the obvious. I honestly believe it's because many of them can't see it. For some reason, parents always want people with playing experience. I want a person I can talk to for 3 minutes and realize they get it.

If you look at the age of most people involved in coaching or running youth soccer, they played in the 80's/90s. Maybe some early 2000s. At that time we had even lower quality athletes playing soccer and it wasn't the style of soccer we know we should be learning today. It was mostly bootball.

If kids aren't watching A LOT of top level soccer ( hint... not MLS or most international matches), and parents aren't able to help explain things, they are in serious trouble. Not enough good coaches, and when you do find one, they are normally only with the team a couple years.

Lol.... I am one of the posters and have rarely ever posted on here. Pop on occasionally, but it's generally pretty garbage. People like you are just know it alls and really know nothing. But I'm sure your kid is on a decent team, so you feel validated. Loser.

Keep talking to yourself, bozo. Must be worse in real life for ya.

Boot ball is not long ball or playing direct. If you don't know the difference by now you're semi-retarded.

Let me guess, this is a Valor parent that left that club for a better club but now wants to complain about how the better club does things. If you don’t like it then feel free to return to Valor!
