    #192 Soccer Rules Changes for the 2019-20 Season May 31, 2019
    Show notes

    I always take a team or two to Chicago over Memorial Day Weekend. This year was no different but unfortunately the weather they had up there was even wetter than we’ve been experiencing in our area.

    Only about half of their fields are turf so they had to compress the schedule once the grass fields were closed for the weekend. They did the best they could but that left us with four 30 minute games, half of what we were hoping for.

    I don’t blame the tournament organizers but I’m don’t think I’ll be traveling to a tournament in the future that isn’t played on turf. There are just too many variables that can’t be controlled.

    Today’s question is not really a question but a follow up on the question from last week.
    As a reminder if you didn’t hear that episode,

    Kevin described a situation where in New Jersey the teams have tryouts earlier and earlier ever year. This year they had them in April! His concern what how to get a team to play together when a some of his players were leaving for other teams while he had let others go in favor of new players that came to his tryout.

    I was surprised by this and couldn’t figure out how it was possible that the State Association had let the tryout process devolve into the Wild West.

    Last week I was able to talk to one of the US Soccer’s Club Development Managers from the northeast and he explained it to me.

    Many of the clubs there have left US Youth Soccer and instead they register with US Club Soccer who allows them to have tryouts at any time of the year they choose.

    I now hear that a number of clubs in our area are planning to leave USYS for US Club either this year or next. So it looks like this kind of chaos could be coming close to home very soon.

    In this Episode

    There are more changes to the Laws of the Game coming out this year than I ever remember. They go into effect June 1, just ahead of the Women’s World Cup. I thought this would be a good time to go over each of them and talk about how they will change the game, especially at the youth level.

    Future Episodes

    Next week I’m going to share some of the experience I had attending the second pilot course of US Soccer Director of Coaching License. I’ll talk about some of the ways it has opened my eyes and how it I hope it will change the way clubs, director, and coaches approach player development.

    #191 The Techne App – Individual Training made Simple May 24, 2019
    Show notes

    I had a team play in a tournament that used grass fields last weekend. This is the first time any of my teams have played on grass this spring.

    In my opinion a good grass field is better than a turf field but it has to be a good grass field. The fields we played on this weekend were good in the past but aren’t what they used to be.

    We’re just not used to playing on grass anymore. It slows everything down so much that it’s hard for the players to get their rhythm and time.

    It’s good for them to play in new environments and different conditions but in the long term I feel that training and playing on turf is more beneficial to the player’s development.

    Today’s question comes from Kevin. He’s asking about the timing of tryouts.

    Kevin says,

    “In this past week’s episode you were discussing tryouts coming up soon and it really struck a nerve with me because of what’s going on in my home state. Here in NJ there is no control over when clubs have their tryouts and each year it has gotten earlier and earlier. This year we held our first set of tryouts in the first week of APRIL!!

    My U12 hadn’t yet played a game in the spring and my U15 team had played just 5 games together because they didn’t play in the fall due to high school soccer. I feel that it’s getting to the point where it’s negatively affecting youth soccer in general and the kids specifically.

    We have tryouts in early April, make cuts/selections and then we have to navigate the entire spring season; 10 league games, 2 tournaments, state cup and regional cup events etc. with players on your roster that are either leaving your team for another (and are mentally checked out), or cut and are just not engaged at the level that they should be.

    I am very fair and will not treat a player differently regardless of the decision they have made because I moved around once or twice in my youth career and I understand that it’s a reality. But the unfortunate thing that I am dealing with is how to motivate these players leaving to still care, and more importantly how to keep the rest of the group engaged along the way.

    I have dealt with both aspects of this from cutting 6 players from my U14 team last year, to losing 3 talented ones from my U12 group this year so I, unfortunately, have had the pleasure of dealing with this far too often lately.

    What I want to know from you is, does KC mandate when your tryout periods are to be or are you just more intelligent out there and conduct things the way they should be done? “

    Thanks for the question as always Kevin!

    That sounds like a very difficult situation. I can’t imagine cutting a kid and then having them on the team for the next two or three month. I don’t think that’s helpful to anyone.

    The Kansas Youth Soccer Association doesn’t allow teams to have tryouts before the Saturday after State Cup has concluded. That means that we have tryouts before teams have had a chance to go to Regionals or Nationals but it’s a far better system that what you described in NJ IMHO.

    In this Episode

    This week I’ll share the second half of my conversation with Yael Averbuch. We talk about the motivation behind her development of the Techne Futbol skill development app and how players can use it to take charge of their development.

    Future Episodes

    There are a lot of changes to the Laws of the Game that take effect June 1. Next week I’ll look at each of those changes and how they will impact the game in general but specifically young players.

    #190 Owning Your Development with Yael Averbuch May 17, 2019
    Show notes

    We’re starting to wind down the 2018-19 soccer year. This is the last week of practice for one of my teams while the other two just have one tournament left for each of them.

    I’m always surprised at how fast the spring season goes. It’s no shorter than the fall but it just seems to move so quickly. It may be because we’re in the process of planning the tryouts and looking toward next fall already.

    During this time of year I do a lot of multi-themed sessions and the Play – Practice – Play model. We’re not really looking to develop new skills and abilities. I want to pull everything that we’ve done during the year into the preparation for these last tournaments.

    In a couple of weeks we’ll be right back into tryouts!

    Today’s question comes from Sammy. He’s asking what players in his area do when a player gets injured during a game.

    Sammy says,

    “I live in Mobile, Alabama and this is a “thing” in the South. When a player is injured, the players usually will kneel in respect for the player that is hurt. Does that happen all over the country? Or is it just in the American South?

    I get the sentiment, I just personally don’t like it. Mainly because if I’m a 13 year old boy, I’m probably embarrassed about the fact that I’m hurt and I want to imagine that no one is looking at me, even though I know everyone is looking at me, I certainly don’t want my team mates to punctuate my embarrassment by taking up an unusual posture as a result. Also, I worry about cramping when the players get up.

    Heres the problem: as a coach, I look like a jerk if I tell my players not to kneel, when in fact it’s the respect for the players injury that makes me to give him any privacy we can provide.

    I’d prefer to just have both teams trot to the sideline and get a sip of water and turn their backs to the situation and give the professionals their moment to intervene.

    What are your thoughts? “

    Thanks for the question as always Sammy!

    I’ve always disliked it when players kneel when someone is injured. It seems to happen less here as the level of play increases. I’ve called my players over at times to, as you say, let the coach or trainer deal with the situation. I always do that if the injury is serious.

    Reacting to this can be tricky. I know I’m not trying to be dismissive or disrespectful. I can’t control how someone reacts so I don’t worry too much about it.

    The real problem comes in when everyone else is doing it and you are breaking the social norm to do something else.

    In this Episode

    Last week I had a great conversation with Yael Averbuch. We covered so much ground that I decided to divide our talk into two episodes. This week we talk about the story of her development into collegiate National Champion, Professional Player and frequent National Team Player. We also discuss high school vs DA Soccer, girls playing with boys and a number of other interesting topics.

    Future Episodes

    Next week I’ll bring you the second half my conversation with Yael where we talk about the resource that she’s created to give players of all ages the opportunity to control the one thing they can in the game – their ability with the ball.

    #189 SPORTING KC Academy Affiliate Observation Day May 10, 2019
    Show notes

    First of all I have to apologize for not uploading this episode last week. I had everything planned and then my internet connection went down. If you’ve ever had to deal with a cable company you know that nothing ever gets fixed quickly. I wasn’t going to have internet back until Monday so I decide to sit on this episode for a week.

    There’s two interesting things that happened recently. One was an incident when a player was injured in a tackle. The other team gained possession and rather than kicking the ball out of play they went down and scored.

    The other team were not happy! Eventually the coach for the team that scored told his players to let the other team score uncontested.

    I think this just shows that it’s time for everyone to let the referees decide when to stop play and when to allow it to continue. Enough of this, “Kick the ball out for us because we have an injured player.” Play to the whistle.

    A separate but related incident happened in my youth game when player from my team heard a whistle on another field and picked the ball up in our box. The referee awarded a PK but the opposing coach had his player kick it back to our goalkeeper.

    It was easy for him to do this since his team was up by two with only seconds to play but it raises the question about intentionally missing a PK if there’s an obvious error by the referee. Again, I think we should all stay in our lane; the players should play, the coaches should coach and the referees should official the game.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Today’s question comes from Adam. He’s asking about training a pool of players rather than a team.

    Adam says,

    “What are your thoughts on a pool of players who train together, are rostered between 2 teams and find out which team they will play matches for on the weekend during the preceding week?

    Pros to development seem good. Logistics for parents seem like a hurdle, but if the league would schedule the two teams back to back weekly it wouldn’t be that much of a pain.“

    Thanks for the question Adam!

    I like the idea of training a pool of player. This has worked well for me with U9 and U10 players since the rosters are smaller. I’m not sure how well that would transfer to older age groups with larger rosters.

    The roster for games didn’t change drastically from week to week. If the first team needed players I would pull guests from the second team. The real benefit was in training.

    We haven’t put teams together like this in the last few years but I thought it worked well and would do it again.

    In this Episode

    A few weeks ago I had an opportunity to attend the SPORTING KC Academy Affiliate Observation Day. Today I’ll walk you through that experience, what I learned from it and why you should look for a similar opportunity in your one area.

    Future Episodes

    Next week I’ll be talking to Yael Averbuch about her journey from a family with no soccer background to playing at UNC, with the Women’s National Team and a having professional soccer career. We’ll also discuss her passion for helping soccer players of all ages improve their technical ability.

    #188 Why Your Session Isn’t Working Apr 26, 2019
    Show notes

    Each of my teams only had one game last weekend. They all played really well despite only one of them winning their game. One of the hardest things for me to get some parents to understand is that we can play really well and still lose the game.

    We had worked hard on playing our way out of pressure in tight spaces during the week and did this very well in the games. That was the objective for the week and we accomplished it regardless of the score of the game.

    The extra time gave me a chance to referee for the first time this spring. We have a real shortage of referees in our area (like every other area that I’m familiar with) so I try to pick up some games a few times during the season.

    I’d like to see more coaches refereeing. If we all took a few games every other weekend or so I don’t think we’d have the issue we do now. Parents should should also consider becoming certified if they’d like to have a positive impact on their local leagues.

    There are other things we could do to help relieve the pressure on our referee pool. I’d like to see only one referee on 7 v 7 games. Having said that, those games provide a chance to train young referees under relatively less pressure so that’s not really the answer either.

    It’s a tough problem that we need to address if we’re going to continue to grow the game in this country.

    Today’s question comes from Ryan. He’s asking about ways to incorporate shooting more into his sessions.
    Ryan says,

    “Our team had a match this weekend, and despite dominating possession and creating tons of chances…..our team lost 2-1 with the other team maximizing their 2 shots on goal.

    I felt great about how the team played and am not worried about the result, but I realize that finishing is something we don’t spend nearly as much time on as possession activities.

    They get shooting practice in the run of play scrimmage, but we probably could stand to use more focus there.

    How do you incorporate finishing in your practices specifically – is it more through small sided games with goals and short fields, or more shooting specific activities?“

    Thanks for the question Ryan!

    Each week I run a session that is focused on technical training and one that focused on team training. The technical training session always includes finishing of some kind. Most of the time finishing is incorporated into an activity with other technical actions like a passing pattern that goes to goal. Other times it’s specifically focused on the technical aspects of ball striking like the progressive shooting session that I shared on the podcast.

    I also try to include finishing into the team training so that whatever we’re working on finishes on goal.

    Dominating a game and losing is a part of the game at every level. I’m glad that you were happy with performance. That will pay off in the long term.

    In this Episode

    I had planned to talk with Yael Averbuch this week but I ran into some technical issues and had to postpone. Yael is getting married this weekend so our interview will have to wait until after the first of May.

    Last week’s listener question from Matt asked about how to identify issues with a training session. I pointed him back to episode #75 for ideas of what the problem might be. That made me realize how long it’s been since I discussed this very important topic. So today I’m going to share the main portion of that episode in hopes that it will help other coaches understand why their session just isn’t working.

    Future Episodes

    On Tuesday I was able to attend First Team Training for SPORTING KC during our Academy Affiliate Observation Day. They asked us to wait until after this week’s game to discuss any specifics about the session so next week I’ll talk about that experience and why you should look for an opportunity like this with your local club.

    #187 The Benefits of Building Out of the Back Apr 19, 2019
    Show notes

    With just one team in a tournament last weekend I was able to put all of my focus on them and not have a crazy schedule that had me going from one game to the next.

    Our first game was on Friday night. This team practices on Thursdays so we had a great preparation and came out flying. The team played great and won comfortably.

    We played two games on Saturday. The first one didn’t start well but improved as the game went along. In the second game we played a team that was very athletic and put us under all sorts of pressure that we found it difficult to solve. They knew we wanted to possess the ball and they made that very difficult.

    The final game on Sunday was another comfortable win. Since there were five teams in the tournament we came second on points. More importantly, we had our ‘Achilles Heel’ exposed. We need to be better at playing out of tight spaces under pressure. We’ll work to improve in that area over the coming weeks.

    Today’s question comes from Matt. He’s asking about what to do when a session isn’t working.

    Matt says,

    “I really have been looking for ways for them to keep their shape and move without the ball and stumbled upon your old podcast, episode 14. The first session went great with the foundation and the progressions with the defenders. My assistant coach and I were really pleased.

    In our second session we reviewed and focused on breaking the lines and the small sided activities. It was a train wreck. I am not totally sure what I was doing wrong. I know they are not going to get it after two sessions but I thought it would be better. They were still standing and not really getting the r/l/split to be honest.

    We do have one former club player so she is often my barometer. If she does not get it, I know I am in trouble. Any suggestions? Are my expectations two high for the second training session? Any help would be much appreciated.“

    Thanks for the question Matt!

    I’ve run into the same issue with the 2 v 2 to Targets game. I would suggest that you go back to the ‘Moving in Combination’ activity and add a defender in the middle who is only allowed to challenge for the ball inside the square. That will give the players a chance to work out the combinations with the pressure of a single defender first. Then try to go to the 2 v 2 to targets game.

    If they still have trouble playing 2 v 2 then you could add a neutral player in the middle to create a 2 v 2 +3. That should create enough options to allow the players to have success.

    When something isn’t working it’s usually because the players can’t see the pattern necessary to be successful, the space is not the right size (too small or too large) or they need have an extra player to create enough solutions to the pressure they’re facing.

    Getting players to understand and use movement off of the ball is one of the more challenging topics to coach. Stay at it and you’ll see progress over time.

    I talked about solving these issues in episode #75 When It’s Just Not Working.

    In this Episode

    When coaches talk about, “playing the right way”, they’re often referring whether a team is keeping possession or kicking it long. Today I’ll go through the different options a team has when coming out of the back and give my opinion if one option is better than another.

    Future Episodes

    Next week I’ll be talking to Yael Averbuch about her journey from a family with no soccer background to playing at UNC, with the Women’s National Team and a having successful professional soccer career. We’ll also discuss her passion for helping soccer players of all ages improve their technical ability.

    #186 How to Avoid Becoming a Frustrated Coach Apr 12, 2019
    Show notes

    It was a pretty easy weekend for me. Each of my teams only had one game so I had a lot of time to get some spring cleaning and yard work done. I would have rather been coaching 🙂

    Coming back to league games after a mostly successful tournament weekend can be unpredictable. Sometimes a team can just pick up where they left off in the tournament. Other times there is a bit of a let down. My three teams had three different reactions.

    The youngest team played great and basically played as they had done in the tournament. The middle team had a flat start but improved in the second half. The oldest team never really got started and continued to play pretty uninspired until about the last five minutes.

    The oldest group has another tournament this weekend so I’m hoping that playing four games this weekend will get them back on track.

    Today’s question comes from Chad. He’s asking about training midfielders.
    Chad says,

    “Do you have any insight for teaching players the midfield position?

    I’m coaching a U12 Girls team and during games I often hear my players tell me, “I don’t know how to play midfield.” I don’t run a complex formation. Usually a 3-2-3 or 3-3-2. I don’t assign attacking or defensive roles to midfielders.

    As a former soccer player and avid soccer fan, I feel like midfield is fairly instinctive but I tell my players to maintain the space between the defense and the forwards. However – some players tend to play too defensive while others play more as a forward and don’t get back.

    I wonder if I should just do a team scrimmage and focus solely on teaching the midfield or are there some drills that can explain the roles of the position better. “

    Thanks for the question Chad!

    The center midfield role comes naturally to some players and to others they feel like they’re swimming in an ocean and don’t know which way to go.

    It would help if in the beginning if you did assign attacking and defending roles to limit the scope of the position.

    I would suggest that you play rondo games with a central support player. 5 v 2 works great for this. Four players on the outside and one in the middle.

    Then I would play attack vs defense and focus on the positioning and movement of the midfielders.

    Hopefully this experience will give your players an understanding of what you’re looking for from the midfield.

    In this Episode

    Today I want to talk about the quickest way to take all of the fun out of the sport of soccer for your players and yourself. It’s a trap that I think we all fall into from time to time, I know I do. If you recognize the signs early you can stop the negative spiral and restore the enjoyment before it’s too late.

    Future Episodes

    I received more good show ideas this week. One of them will be next week’s topic: the benefits of training your team to play out from the back. Thanks Ryan!

    #185 Preparing for PK’s Apr 05, 2019
    Show notes

    I had three teams that played in the SPORTING Next Gen Invitational last weekend. The event was organized by SPORTING KC for it’s affiliate clubs. The 12 SKC Affiliate Clubs sent teams in the U8 through U12 age groups on both the boys and girls side. The divisions were rounded out by other good local teams

    Unfortunately, the weather was an issue again. It snowed on Saturday morning with the wind chill factor in the upper 20’s. It doesn’t bother me because I can dress for the weather but the kids freezing! After the snow stopped the afternoon temperatures came up enough to melt the snow but then we had rain to deal with.

    The tournament scheduled a break in games to allow everyone to go to the SPORTING KC game but I drove home to get out of the weather for a few hours.

    All three of my teams played well and were in position to reach the final on Sunday morning. One was through to the final no matter their result on Sunday morning so I took the opportunity to move players around a bit and expose them to different positions. The other two needed wins to advance and they both got them.

    I ended up with a conflict between the finals of two of my teams so the coach of our second U9’s covered for me. (Thanks Chris!) Two out of the three teams won in the championship game and the other lost on penalty kicks. The U9’s won through PK’s against a team they had lost two straight games too. (Thanks again Chris!)

    It was a good weekend but a long one. I gave the two teams that train on Monday the day off since they’d just played four games in two days. I think that was as much for me as it was for them.

    Today’s question comes from Tim. He’s asking about Micro Cycles.

    Tim says,

    “In today’s episode (March 29th) you touched on micro cycles which you have also done in the past. I know cycles are big part of any training strategy and curriculum.

    Up here in Wisconsin, our spring season is usually about 8 weeks (if we’re lucky). How would you manage different cycles when there is not a lot of time to work with?

    If we spend 3 weeks on a topic, that is almost half of the season. Would you go for more of a muli-topic session approach like you talked about in today’s episode? “

    Thanks for the question Tim!

    I like multi-topic sessions in the spring because the players know the key coaching points from the work we did in the fall. What they need is repetition.

    You could also consider shortening the MircoCycle to two weeks. It’s not ideal but that could work as well.

    Given the two options I would probably go with the multi-topic sessions. That will give the girls a bit of everything in each session and allow you to progress each topic from one session to the next.

    In this Episode

    As I mentioned earlier, I had two teams reach PK’s in the tournament final this weekend so this week I thought I’d talk about how I prepare my teams for PK’s leading up to a tournament as well as my approach to managing the situation on game day.

    Future Episodes

    I had several good questions come through by email this week but decided to talk about PK’s after my experience on the weekend. Please keep the questions coming because they let me know what’s on your mind and what might be good topics for the future.

    #184 Three Ways to Structure Your Training Session Mar 29, 2019
    Show notes

    I finally had a normal week of training and games! A few more like this we’ll be able get into the flow of the season.

    Two of my three teams are playing up an age group this season. The speed and physicality of the opponents is something that is going to take time to get used to. My goal is for us to be able to play our game against the increased pressure which should help us take a big step forward in our development this spring.

    There were two games for two of my teams which really helped them since we could make adjustments from one game to the next. It was nice to be able to come back the next day and see the the progress.

    Today’s question comes from Lisa. She’s asking about using a planner to organize her training sessions.
    Lisa says,

    “Can you please recommend a free or very in expensive practice planner? I am getting back into coaching after 10 years away. I coach u11 girls team.

    Yesterday’s practice really got away from me on time and poor communication with my assistant coach. I really was disappointed in myself and how practice went especially with the lack of practice time due to the weather the previous 2 months before spring season.“

    Thanks for the question Lisa!

    We use the Academy Soccer Coach planning tool for creating diagrams and videos for WORLD CLASS COACHING. You can find it at academysoccercoach.co.uk.

    I’ve used many different types of online planner and I like this one the best. It has all of the field layouts I need. The players and equipment are easy to place and move. Most importantly, the lines are very easy to create and manipulate.

    You can add notes to each diagram save them as an image that can be pasted into a Word Document.

    I’m still a bit old school when it comes to my recording my own sessions. I still keep them all in a notebook for each year that is divided into sections for each team. I’ve just found that this works best for me.

    I still refer back to the notes when I’m looking for an activity that I may not have done for a while.

    In this Episode

    As most soccer coaches around the U.S. have started or will be starting their training sessions soon I thought this would be a good to review the different ways that you can organize an effective training session.

    Players have different learning styles so what works for one might not work as well for another.

    The three different methods I describe today will create interesting and engaging learning environments for your players.

    In the Next Episode

    I don’t have a specific topic in mind for next week. Let me know if there’s something you have questions about or are struggling with and it may end up on the show next week.

    #183 The Role of the Age Group Director Mar 22, 2019
    Show notes

    Last week was Spring Break in our area. I’m usually a fan of breaks in the schedule but that’s only when they’re preceded by a long period of sustained effort. Unfortunately, the period between Christmas and now has been disjointed and inconsistent.

    This week we start our Technical Training Curriculum. I’ve talked about this in previous episodes so you can look back if you’d like to hear more about it.

    Hopefully we’ll be able to have a regular schedule of practices and games between now and the end of the spring. The weather can be unpredictable here in the spring so we’ll just keep our fingers crossed.

    Today’s question comes from Sammy a long time listener and contributor. He’s asking about post workout nutrition.
    Sammy says,

    “I know you’re a runner. I’m a novice at best, but I’m trying to begin to take my personal fitness a little more seriously.

    I’ve been listening to a lot of running podcasts. I heard recently that the best recovery nutrition needs to start within 30 minutes of the activity and should be close to a 4 part carb/ 1 part protein ratio and that chocolate milk is that exact ratio, making it the perfect recovery drink after a run.

    I know a coach locally that always urges players to drink chocolate milk after a game, especially in tournaments when they’ve played one game and there is another one in an hour or so.

    So I’m asking the same question to Tom the runner and Tom the soccer coach, have you ever used chocolate milk as recovery drink for you or your players? What other wisdom do you have for post soccer/ running nutrition? “

    Thanks for the question Sammy!

    That is a really interesting topic to me. I could go on about this one for hours but I’ll give you the short version.

    The timing of nutrition after exercise matters more if you’re going to be exercising again within 12 hours. So it would be important in a tournament environment. For a daily run/workout getting food onboard an hour or two post-exercise isn’t going to make a difference one way or the other.

    it’s true that chocolate milk has the optimal balance of carbs and protein but so does a turkey sandwich and the sandwich is better for you.

    The milk marketing machine is very good at making milk seem like the perfect food but what other animal drinks milk after infancy? More than that, which animal drinks the milk of another animal? The human body doesn’t process dairy well. If you don’t think milk affects you negatively, remove it from you diet for a month and then have a glass of milk or bowl of ice cream and see how you feel.

    I talk about my role as a coach a lot on this podcast. I’ve also shared some of my experiences as a director of a recreational league. Today I want to discuss my other role in our club, that of an Age Group Director. I’ll talk about why I think the role is important and what goes into a year as an Age Group Director.
