| 10 Mar 2017 | #094 Check Your Shoulder! | 00:34:43 | |
Technical Training for our club started this week. Once a week all of the teams, U12 and below, complete the same training session. It’s focused on a particular technical topic. I talked about how we structure our technical training back in episode 18 – Creating a Technical Training Plan. It’s a great way to make... | |||
| 17 Mar 2017 | #095 Planning Valuable Team Talks | 00:35:39 | |
We had great feedback to last week’s episode on checking your shoulder. The combination of the description, diagrams and actual training video really helped to paint the picture and show how the exercises are organized. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to that one or see the videos in the show notes I... | |||
| 24 Mar 2017 | #096 Play Quicker! | 00:35:34 | |
Last week I talked about what you should and sometimes shouldn’t say during your team talks. Planning that episode made me realize that most of my effective pregame, halftime and postgame team talks followed a similar pattern. If you didn’t have a chance to listen to the show last week I’d suggest that you go... | |||
| 31 Mar 2017 | #097 Diving and It’s Effects on Youth Soccer | 00:25:19 | |
I actually spent more time refereeing last weekend than coaching. I’ve always enjoyed refereeing. Especially when I get to work with new referees. I can see why so many young referees quit. It takes a level confidence that most kids just don’t have naturally. Experience and success breeds confidence but we don’t give them a chance to develop... | |||
| 07 Apr 2017 | #098 Creating a Cohesive Defensive Unit | 00:29:59 | |
Last weekend I had a game on turf Friday night, a game on very rough outdoor field on Saturday and then back to the turf for our match on Sunday. The grass field was so uneven that it made it very difficult to try to play the kind of soccer we normally attempt. I decided... | |||
| 14 Apr 2017 | #099 Playing Up | 00:39:21 | |
In the last month my teams haven’t played every weekend due to spring break and a number of local tournaments that took up field capacity. One team hasn’t played in three weeks. This has given us time to do some concentrated training. We’ve been able to work on improving some areas of our play without worrying... | |||
| 21 Apr 2017 | #100 Double Box Training Environment | 00:39:01 | |
100 Episodes! When I started this podcast more than two years ago the idea of getting to 100 episodes seemed so far off. Just producing the first three was a huge challenge. Now thousands of coaches listening to each episode. There have been more than 690,000 downloads of the show since I started. I owe all... | |||
| 28 Apr 2017 | #101 What to Do When You Need a Goal | 00:35:28 | |
First of all, thanks to everyone that sent me an email, left a comments on the site or provided a rankings and reviews on iTunes about the 100th episode of the podcast. I truly appreciate everyone who takes the time to listen each week and I love hearing from you when you have a question... | |||
| 05 May 2017 | #102 Differentiated Coaching | 00:42:59 | |
The weather was so bad in the midwest last weekend that we weren’t able to play most of our games. It rained pretty much non stop from Friday morning through Sunday morning. They had it even worse in St Louis where many of their fields are built in 100 year floodplains that flooded much more... | |||
| 12 May 2017 | #103 Why Your Players are Bored | 00:36:15 | |
Coaching my games this weekend and covering for a couple of other coaches the “kickball” being played by some of the teams we played against was killing me. It was hard to play against because anytime we build the play up if the opponent won the ball they just kicked it as far up the... | |||
| 19 May 2017 | #104 From High Pressure to Goal Scoring | 00:29:10 | |
I had my teams in a tournament this last weekend. We enjoyed great weather and very good competition. These end of the season tournaments are great for me and the players. I can see how far they’ve progressed over the course of the year and the players have a chance to put all of our... | |||
| 02 Jun 2017 | #105 Tryouts as a Tool for Development | 00:44:02 | |
I took last week off from the podcast to take some teams to Chicago for a Memorial Day weekend tournament. It was a great weekend and a fun way to wrap up the year for the teams. We played on grass fields which really slowed the game down compared to what we’re used to when... | |||
| 09 Jun 2017 | #106 Keeping Soccer Players Safe and Healthy | 00:42:16 | |
We concluded our State Cup tournament in Kansas this week. Each state holds it’s own competition for U13 to U19 teams. The winner of each age group advances to one of four different regional championships where the winners earn the right to attend the US Youth Soccer National Championship. This is one of my favorite times... | |||
| 16 Jun 2017 | #107 Train Fast to Play Fast | 00:30:19 | |
We completed our club tryouts last weekend. It’s a crazy time for player, parents and coaches but an important one to make sure that our players are challenged at an appropriate level. I’ve talked about our process in previous episodes including Episode 105 just a couple of weeks ago. We’re not working to prepare our teams... | |||
| 23 Jun 2017 | #108 Set the Tone for Your Season | 00:44:22 | |
With tryouts behind me I’ve had a nice break from coaching. It’s given me more time to attend and watch some professional games. Unfortunately, the international leagues have finished but the Confederations Cup has had some good games. I was watching the Mexico v New Zealand game when an incident happened in the box that... | |||
| 30 Jun 2017 | #109 Four Favorite Possession Games | 00:35:42 | |
I continuing to enjoy my summer break from the field. The summer doesn’t start for me until the team meetings are completed and that happened last weekend. I’m using the extra free time to work on the Fall Technical Training Curriculum for our U8 through U12 teams. Talked about that back in episode 18 Creating a... | |||
| 14 Jul 2017 | #110 Playing with a Back Three | 00:32:03 | |
Last week provided a nice break over the 4th of July holiday. Stepping away from the field and not thinking about coaching for a bit is always a welcome change of pace. We now only have two weeks remaining in our summer break. It seems like it just started and now it’s half over! Now... | |||
| 21 Jul 2017 | #111 Do Good Players Make Good Coaches? | 00:25:43 | |
This is the last week before our club starts training for the fall season. The weather in the midwest has been incredibly hot and humid. Fortunately, the heatwave is going break over the weekend and next week won’t be as hot. The first few weeks of training are always inconsistent because families are taking the... | |||
| 28 Jul 2017 | #112 Youth National Championships | 00:28:03 | |
We started back to training this week. It seems earlier than usual but that’s just how the calendar came together. There are still a lot of families on summer vacations so attendance has been spotty. That affects what I try to cover because I don’t want to have to repeat myself once I have everyone... | |||
| 04 Aug 2017 | #113 Early Season Training Sessions | 00:45:21 | |
After two weeks of training my teams are getting ready for their first games. I’m starting to get an idea of how the teams fit together. The formations I use for small-sided soccer keep it pretty simple. I always use a 2-3-1 for teams playing 7 v 7 and 4-3-1 for playing 9 v 9... | |||
| 11 Aug 2017 | #114 Do You Have the Courage to be Patient | 00:34:36 | |
I was watching the US Open Cup game last night with Sporting KC vs San Jose. The game went to PK’s and it got me thinking about the differences between youth and adult PKs. The goalkeepers are usually much smaller in relation to the goal so the things that will work for young players will... | |||
| 18 Aug 2017 | #115 Deciding the Game | 00:28:24 | |
I’m working with five different teams this year, U9 boys, U10 boys, U11 girls, U13 boys and U16 girls. That may seem like too many teams but I’m able to schedule the practices easily since we have lighted fields and the league and tournament scheduler does a great job making sure I don’t have any... | |||
| 25 Aug 2017 | #116 Drills Don’t Make Players Better | 00:37:23 | |
Our club has started a program called, ‘RecConnect’ to provide a resource for recreational coaches. Five of our club’s premier coaches have ‘adopted’ a 2nd grade boys or girls division. We send out weekly tips and suggestions, make ourselves available to answer questions and attend the games on the weekend. This helps create a stronger... | |||
| 08 Sep 2017 | #117 From Technical to Functional | 00:38:00 | |
Last weekend I had two teams in a tournament in Omaha. We travel with our teams that are U10 and above at least once a season. It’s a great way to see some new competition, in a new environment. The fields were grass as opposed to the turf fields that we normally play on. They... | |||
| 15 Sep 2017 | #118 Avoiding Common Coaching Mistakes | 00:30:48 | |
This weekend I’m taking my girls teams to Iowa for a tournament. This year I split up my teams and took the boys to one tournament and the girls to another. This gives me more time with the players and families away from the field. These are the only two out of town trips I’ll... | |||
| 22 Sep 2017 | #119 Training Transition | 00:38:58 | |
Last weekend’s tournament in Iowa went well despite some weather issues. The tournament did a good job of managing them but on the show I talk about the best way I’ve seen of dealing with weather delays. As I’ve said before I enjoy having my teams play multiple games over the course of a weekend... | |||
| 29 Sep 2017 | #120 Don’t Look at the Ball | 00:39:59 | |
I had another tournament with some of my teams last weekend. It’s been a crowded schedule lately which I think contributed to a slow start for a couple of teams. I could tell early on that they just weren’t up for it the way that they usually are. They just weren’t competing with the other... | |||
| 06 Oct 2017 | #121 US DA vs High School Soccer | 00:34:07 | |
With one of my teams last weekend I decided not to coach while the ball was in play. The team had played a tournament the previous weekend and they had heard enough from me :-). I wanted them to take total ownership of the game and make their own decisions whenever the ball was in... | |||
| 13 Oct 2017 | #122 Silent Saturdays Aren’t the Answer | 00:23:25 | |
I can’t believe I’m sitting here today NOT looking forward to the World Cup this summer. Having the US miss the World Cup for the first time in my adult life is a very hard pill to swallow. This is a youth soccer podcast so I usually don’t focus on national team or professional results... | |||
| 20 Oct 2017 | #123 Where We Go from Here | 00:42:08 | |
This is the last weekend of league play in our area. It’s great to see the players really starting to understand the key aspects of the game that we’ve been focusing on. They’re not always getting it right but seeing them work hard to play the game in the right way is always very satisfying.... | |||
| 27 Oct 2017 | #124 Adding Passive Pressure to Technical Training | 00:37:04 | |
Last week was our final weekend of league play which came just in time because the weather is due to get much colder this weekend. Since I don’t have any games this weekend I scheduled my recertification courses for outdoor and Futsal refereeing. It’s always interesting going into a room of referees as a local... | |||
| 03 Nov 2017 | #125 Prepare their Mind to Train their Skills | 00:40:41 | |
As I mentioned last week, my weekend was focused on refereeing as I renewed my outdoor and Futsal certifications. I was asked to do a presentation to the group from a coach’s perspective. I tried to show how coaches, referees and players need to work together to create a positive experience for everyone. I let... | |||
| 10 Nov 2017 | #126 How to Remove Diving from Soccer | 00:33:50 | |
My teams are making the transition to indoor Futsal training this week. Some of them still have an outdoor tournament this weekend but our club always moving inside on the first of November. I enjoy the change of pace and the focus on different skills and tactics. Some coaches focus on training Futsal in isolation... | |||
| 17 Nov 2017 | #127 Building Technical Training Progressions | 00:46:48 | |
Well, last weekend was the end of the outdoor season for the last of my teams. Just in time too because the weather has really made a turn to the colder side in the midwest. All of our training sessions from now on will be focused on the techniques and tactics of Futsal. It’s almost... | |||
| 01 Dec 2017 | #128 Futsal Techniques and Tactics | 00:37:42 | |
My Thanksgiving holiday week was full of family, american football and too much food. It was a great break and chance to reset. I usually have my teams take the first week of Futsal off because that gives them a two-week break between the end of the outdoor season and our first Futsal game. This... | |||
| 08 Dec 2017 | #129 Four Key Elements of an Effective Warm-Up | 00:39:52 | |
The first full weekend of Futsal for my teams is always interesting because it’s first time some of my players have been in a Futsal game. Some are surprised how much they enjoy the new experience while others aren’t as sure. It’s just too different than what they were used to with arena soccer. I... | |||
| 15 Dec 2017 | #130 Movement to Create Options | 00:39:23 | |
I had a ton of Futsal games last week. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve divided my teams up for the Futsal season to make sure they all get plenty of playing time. This is great for the players but it doubles the number of games I have on any given weekend. I love working with... | |||
| 05 Jan 2018 | #131 A Coach’s New Years Resolution | 00:30:55 | |
It was a great time for a break! I really enjoyed the time away from the field and the chance to spend time with family and friends. It was also a productive time as I was able to complete my spring league and tournament plan as well as the Technical Training curriculum for next season.... | |||
| 12 Jan 2018 | #132 New Grassroots Coaching Pathway | 00:38:39 | |
Last weekend I had my first games back with my teams after the long holiday break. Because of the way the schedule worked out we didn’t have a practice before our games. I knew we wouldn’t be really sharp but I was surprised by just how rusty the players really were. You could tell that... | |||
| 19 Jan 2018 | #133 How to Improve Technically and Tactically at Home | 00:44:58 | |
The Central Regional Championships for the US Youth Futsal Nationals was in Kansas City last weekend. I had one team win and qualify for Nationals while the other had a tough weekend. They played some very good teams but didn’t play as well has they have recently. I’ve said before that the only thing consistent about... | |||
| 26 Jan 2018 | #134 The Choice between Rec and Premier | 00:31:19 | |
Now that my teams have been playing Futsal for a few months we’ve gone over and over the basic Futsal tactics that have helped my teams to understand the shape and structure needed to play Futsal effectively. That’s not to say that they can always execute effectively. We could keep working on our shape and... | |||
| 02 Feb 2018 | #135 Training Players to Move Individually and as a Team | 00:25:40 | |
We’re starting to wrap up our Futsal season. I’m continuing to work on technical skills that will help the players in Futsal but I’m starting to plan for the transition back to outdoor. I’ll talk about that more in the coming weeks. We wrapped up a three week MicroCycle where we did a progression of... | |||
| 09 Feb 2018 | #136 The Responsibilities of an Effective Coach | 00:43:06 | |
For three weeks I’ve focused on fast footwork and lateral movement with my players. It’s been great to see their increased on comfort and confidence on the ball. Each practice I’ve given them ‘homework’ to do that related to the movements we did during training. Hopefully they’ll continue to do these exercises at home so that... | |||
| 16 Feb 2018 | #137 Attack vs Defense Game to Train Decision Making | 00:32:32 | |
This weekend is the US Youth Futsal National that are held here in the KC area. I have one team in the tournament and I’m looking forward to seeing how they do against some very good opposition. It’s great to finish up the season with an event like this. It lets me see how far we’ve... | |||
| 23 Feb 2018 | #138 Reviewing My Season Long Plan | 00:32:03 | |
Last weekend was US Youth Futsal Nationals. I know that talking about ‘National’ tournaments for youth players can sound a little over the top. There weren’t teams from all over the country but there were some great teams from the midwest and east coast. Talking about it as a National tournament is really more of a... | |||
| 02 Mar 2018 | #139 The Transition to the Spring Outdoor Season | 00:32:23 | |
We had our first outdoor tournament last weekend. I like this tournament because it gives my teams three or four quick games before the season starts. The weather was really cold the week before so we weren’t able to train much. Two of my teams didn’t practice at all. I had all four of my teams in the... | |||
| 09 Mar 2018 | #140 Dealing with a Poor Performance | 00:28:07 | |
In the opening of this week’s podcast I describe an incident from one of my games last weekend. It’s a story that’s better heard than read. This week’s question comes from Evan. He’s asking about formations. Evan says, “This high school girls soccer season has just begun where I live, and I coach a local JV... | |||
| 16 Mar 2018 | #141 How to Become more Involved in Coaching | 00:25:23 | |
This week is our spring break in this area so we’re missing a lot of players. This has created opportunities for players to guest play with the teams above them and experience a higher level of competition. As a coach I’ve enjoyed watching how players respond to this opportunity. All of the players that guest... | |||
| 20 Sep 2019 | #205 Eight Different Coaches You See Every Weekend | 00:29:11 | |
It was another hot weekend on the soccer fields. I’m hoping that it was the last weekend we’ll have like this before we start to get some relief. I really enjoy the fall season so I’m looking forward to some cooler temps. It also makes it a lot easier on the players. Three out of... | |||
| 27 Sep 2019 | #206 Choosing the Best Size Field for Your Small-Sided Games | 00:31:35 | |
It was a crazy wet weekend. I know this podcast sometimes sounds like a weather report but it has such an impact on the game and my coaching that it’s an important factor. You can listen to the episode for the details. I’m continuing to experiment with not coaching during running play. I think it’s... | |||
| 04 Oct 2019 | #207 What’s in Your Coaching Toolkit? | 00:37:27 | |
I took one team to a tournament in St. Louis last weekend. This was my first trip to St. Louis in many years. In the past they just didn’t have the same quality of fields that we could find by staying closer to home. The teams have always been very competitive but I just never... | |||
| 11 Oct 2019 | #208 Ways to Encourage Your Players to Compete | 00:39:46 | |
I followed up the out of town tournament two weeks ago with an in-town tournament last weekend with two different teams. One team played their own age group and the other was playing up. They both faced some good competition and didn’t end up making the finals but they both had great experiences that will... | |||
| 18 Oct 2019 | #209 Experiencing Different Soccer Cultures | 00:40:02 | |
Thanks to an email from listener Kevin I discovered how to allow iTunes to include up to 300 podcast episodes in the feed. I’ve made that adjustment so we have a couple of years before we have to worry about older episodes dropping off of the feed. Thanks Kevin! I don’t usually use guest players... | |||
| 25 Oct 2019 | #210 Using the Play-Practice-Play Method in Practice | 00:40:24 | |
Last weekend was a busy one; I had six games between my four teams. The results were 3-2-1. The interesting thing was that the teams were 1-1-1 on Sunday and I LOVED the performance of my teams in every game. My approach was different with each group but I think it really matched with what... | |||
| 01 Nov 2019 | #211 Should Coaches Train their Own Children | 00:36:49 | |
With only one game last weekend it left me with a lot of time on my hands. Saturday consisted of work around the house to get it ready for the winter (which seems to have started already!). My game on Sunday was at 8 am but first I decided to get up early and watch... | |||
| 15 Nov 2019 | #212 Attending a Coaching Course | 00:42:34 | |
Since I didn’t have a podcast last week I have to catch you up on what I’ve been up to. Two weeks ago I had my last outdoor tournament of the fall. Two teams played in the tournament and it was a great way to wrap up the season. I go into all of the... | |||
| 22 Nov 2019 | #213 Using Technology to Improve Your Coaching | 00:52:25 | |
I had last weekend completely off. No games! I always take the first weekend of the futsal season off. This provides a welcome break between the outdoor and indoor seasons. It also gives me one more week of practice with my teams before we play our first futsal games. For the first two weeks of... | |||
| 06 Dec 2019 | #214 Coaching Conversation with Michael Davitt | 00:49:28 | |
I really enjoyed the weekend off for Thanksgiving. Lots of time for family, friends, food and football (mostly American Football). The week before my teams started their Futsal season. I never know what to expect on that first weekend of Futsal but the teams all played really well and made a much quicker transition than... | |||
| 13 Dec 2019 | #215 Increasing Injury Rates Among High School Athletes | 00:43:52 | |
I’m into the flow of Futsal practices and games at this point. My teams are training less during the week but the weekends are crazing because most of my teams are split into two teams for the league. This gives them more playing time but that means more games for me. It’s worth it though.... | |||
| 20 Dec 2019 | #216-Everything that Goes into My Winter Futsal Season | 00:44:13 | |
Last weekend was set to be a normal winter Futsal weekend. I had seven games on Saturday and I was all set for another five on Sunday. Overnight a storm came in and by 9 am it was obvious that it wouldn’t be a good idea for anyone to be traveling if they didn’t have... | |||
| 10 Jan 2020 | #217 Looking Back & Looking Forward – The Power of Reflection | 00:35:02 | |
My family and I enjoyed a great winter break. We went to Glenwood Springs, Colorado to ski at Sunlight Mountain. If you’re a skier in the U.S. and haven’t visited Sunlight you’re missing one of the best kept secrets in Colorado. It’s especially great for families. It’s inexpensive and consolidated in one area so it’s... | |||
| 17 Jan 2020 | #218 Developing as a Coach | 00:28:29 | |
I’ve been working through some issues I’ve had with the audio quality of the podcast for the last few weeks. I’d appreciate it if you would leave a comment below if you’ve noticed a problem in previous episodes and if it’s been resolved in this one. If you haven’t noticed a issue then I’d like... | |||
| 24 Jan 2020 | #219 Coaching Conversation with Mario Zúñiga | 00:50:15 | |
Last weekend we had the U.S. Youth Futsal Central Regional Championship. It was a long weekend with all four of my teams participating. Two of the teams were actually playing up an age group while the other two played with teams their own age. The teams played up because they won’t have been challenged in... | |||
| 07 Feb 2020 | #220 Five Year Review | 00:36:13 | |
The last two weeks have been crazy; I finish the second meeting for the Grassroots Instructor’s License Wednesday afternoon through Saturday afternoon. The first meeting back in November covered the course content for the Grassroots In-Person Courses (4v4 through 11v11). The second meeting was focused on presenting the D License Course. The D is like... | |||
| 14 Feb 2020 | #221 Coaching Conversation – Robert Scott | 00:35:34 | |
I continued to focus on defending with my teams this week. With the younger teams it was more about individual defending while the older teams worked on defending as a team in preparation for the US Youth Futsal Nationals this weekend. During the session I wondered if I might be spending too much time on... | |||
| 21 Feb 2020 | #222 The Importance of Normalizing Errors for Your Players | 00:30:48 | |
The Futsal Nationals took place in Gardner Kansas last weekend. I had two teams competing. One team missed out on the semi-final due to a close loss in their third game. The other team reached the final but lost on penalty kicks. I go into detail about the weekend in this episode. It was a... | |||
| 28 Feb 2020 | #223 Coaching Conversation with Marcus Walfridson | 00:43:29 | |
This is the 5th Anniversary of the CSW Podcast! It’s hard to believe I’ve recorded 223 episodes that have been downloaded more than 1.6 million times. I really appreciate everyone who listens, contributes or spreads the word about the show. THANKS! Last weekend we had our last Futsal games of the winter. It was weird... | |||
| 06 Mar 2020 | #224 Coaching Conversation with Ted Hansen | 00:42:17 | |
It was great to get back to outdoor games last weekend. I was curious to see how the teams transitioned back to the outdoor game. Each team had a slightly different reaction. My youngest team that plays 7v7 didn’t really have an issues. They seemed to pick up right were they left off but with... | |||
| 13 Mar 2020 | #225 The Art of Using Guided Questions | 00:33:06 | |
My games last weekend were really a tale of two entirely different days. On Saturday my teams played well and were very successful. Part of that could have been due to the fact that we played teams that were were just better than. On Sunday the games were very challenging. Especially the game with my... | |||
| 20 Mar 2020 | #226 Dealing with a Season Postponed by COVID-19 | 00:25:06 | |
Well, I can safely say that it’s been the weirdest week I’ve ever had during a spring season. Things seemed to be changing by the hour not just by the day. At the end of my intro last week I said that I hoped to be back on the field in two weeks. Now it’s... | |||
| 27 Mar 2020 | #227 Tactical Training at Home with Sports Lab 360 | 00:39:09 | |
This is the first full week of the ‘Stay at Home’ order in Kansas. The schools are out for the spring, the league has been delayed until the end of April and now everyone has been asked to keep their distance if they have to be in public. I think I’ve been every bit as... | |||
| 03 Apr 2020 | #228 Technical Training at Home with Techne Futbol | 00:35:12 | |
We’re now into the second full week of the ‘Stay at Home’ order in Kansas. I wish that more people were following it strictly. I’m seeing too many people on the news that are just acting as if nothing is out of the ordinary. Kansas hasn’t seen the huge spike in cases and deaths that... | |||
| 10 Apr 2020 | #229 Getting FIT at Home with Rise Futbol | 00:46:28 | |
In the fourth week away from training I’m starting to get into a routine. On Mondays and Tuesday’s meeting with my teams over Zoom. It gives us a chance to all see each other and interact. We go over our progress with the Techne Futbol app and discuss any issue or questions as well as... | |||
| 17 Apr 2020 | #230 The Impact of Mindset on Performance | 00:54:04 | |
Welcome to Week Five of Coaching at Home! This week my son and I build a new computer because my old one just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I’ve heard this described as, “Adult Legos”. It was a bit cheaper and more specific to my needs to build it rather than buying one off the shelf.... | |||
| 24 Apr 2020 | #231 ‘Soccer in the City’ with Director Michael Holstein | 00:47:58 | |
It’s week six of, ‘Soccer Coaching through Social Distancing’. I don’t have any practices or games to tell you about so I’ll let you know how my team meetings went this week. We continue to use the Techne Futbol app for skill training and Flipgrid.com to complete assignments and share videos. These have been great... | |||
| 01 May 2020 | #232 Using Game Design in Training Sessions | 00:59:11 | |
One week is looking a lot like the last these days; lots of Zoom meetings with teams and coaches as well as a constant stream of webinars. I can feel my players starting to get a bit tired of isolated training at home. I’m trying to do everything I can to switch things up and... | |||
| 08 May 2020 | #233 What Should be Done with VAR? | 01:07:45 | |
We have a pretty long conversation that I want to share with you about VAR today so I’ll just give you a short recap of my week and skip our usually Q & A. My team meetings followed the same format we’ve been using. We reviewed the players progress on the Techne App and our... | |||
| 15 May 2020 | #234 Using Play – Practice – Play vs. Progressive Training Method | 01:02:07 | |
The discussion I’ll share this week is pretty long, like last week, so I’ll give you a quick update and then get right into the conversation. I feel that my players are experiencing a lot of, ‘At Home’ training fatigue. It’s only natural since they’ve been stuck at home for two month without a chance... | |||
| 28 May 2020 | #235 The Great Debate – Direct Play vs Possession Play | 01:12:26 | |
Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend. This is the first time in years I wasn’t in Chicago. With soccer being on hold I actually forgot that it was coming up. Who looks at a calendar anymore. I had planned for my teams to play in a local tournament and stay home anyway but I always... | |||
| 05 Jun 2020 | #236 Coaching Conversation with Tim Wszalek | 00:35:15 | |
This week was the start of our tryout process for the 2020-21 season. We started by contacting parents and finding out if they were planning to return to the club and let them know what tryouts would look like this year. Since we decided not to move players down this summer, only up, then they... | |||
| 12 Jun 2020 | #237 The Pros and Cons of Playing with a Back Four and a Back Three | 01:06:30 | |
I’ve been really struggling with my voice (as you’ll hear in this episode) so I decided save the Social Distance Training Session for another week. I have uploaded the printable show notes with all of the diagrams and descriptions of the activities to our Patreon site so that Members can view it or download. I’ll... | |||
| 19 Jun 2020 | #238 Social Distance Training Session | 00:30:06 | |
Well my voice is coming back slowly but it wasn’t helped by having Pre-Tryout Camp this week. It’s a four day camp that helps prepare new players to our club for tryouts and gives current players a chance to get together after not playing for a while. Our tryouts are tomorrow. None of our current... | |||
| 26 Jun 2020 | #239 Developing as a Coach | 00:46:02 | |
Our tryouts were last Friday. I don’t know of any coaches, players or parents who enjoy the necessary process of tryouts. Everything has been different this year and the same can be said for tryouts. We only had new players attending so there were a few times when there were only had slightly more players... | |||
| 10 Jul 2020 | #240 Sun Tzu Soccer: The Art of War in Soccer | 00:37:55 | |
I’m sorry there wasn’t a podcast last week. I’d forgotten that it was the Fourth of July holiday. With family in town I didn’t have time to put the episode together. With everyday seeming like the day before I’d really lost track of where we are on the calendar.It was great to have a bit... | |||
| 17 Jul 2020 | #241 Debating the 4-3-3 vs 4-2-3-1 | 00:55:35 | |
I’ve just finished my third week of ‘Social Distancing Practice’. To be honest, I’m really missing high fives and pats on the shoulder. I didn’t realize how much those simple acts helped me connect with players. Nothing can really replace those. We tried, ‘foot fives’ but those seem awkward and forced. It may not happen... | |||
| 24 Jul 2020 | #242 Club and Team Culture | 01:05:51 | |
This was my last week of ‘Summer Training’. It’s been great to get the players back out on the field. I thought it was important to do something this summer to get them started. These sessions have also turned into a bit of a Pre Season for my teams. They gave the players a chance... | |||
| 31 Jul 2020 | #243 The Pros and Cons of Counter Attacking Tactics | 01:09:46 | |
Tonight was the end of my first week of training with my teams. My schedule is a bit crazy this fall. I’m at the fields every night until 9 pm expect Thursdays when I come home to record the podcast. Being on the field for three to five hours every night is going to take... | |||
| 07 Aug 2020 | #244 Creating Confident Female Players | 00:36:28 | |
Last weekend my teams were finally able to get back on the field and play games. My youngest two teams played three games each as a way to get a jump start on the season. There was definitely a lot of rust but they both played better and better throughout the weekend so it was... | |||
| 14 Aug 2020 | #245 Coaching Conversation with John Murphy | 00:59:03 | |
We had our first 11 v 11 games of the year. Two teams played in the preseason tournament. The first is a 2009 team that’s playing up with the 2008’s. These were their first games in the larger format. Luckily we were scheduled on one of the smaller full sized fields in the area. This... | |||
| 21 Aug 2020 | #246 Interview with Exact Sports | 00:30:06 | |
I’ve been focusing my teams on a few key areas at the beginning of this season. Our attacking focus has been on finding 1v1’s, 2v1’s and through balls. I think you can break down just about every attacking situation into one of these. I want the players to have a plan BEFORE they have the... | |||
| 28 Aug 2020 | #247 The Solution to Recording Soccer Games without a Camera Operator | 00:44:50 | |
As I write this post it’s Thursday evening which marks the end of another week of training for me and my teams. I feel very fortunate to be able to train with my teams on the field because I know where are some places in the U.S. that haven’t been able to start their fall... | |||
| 11 Sep 2020 | #248 Playing with a Triangle in Midfield | 01:08:41 | |
The season started quickly and we’ve packed a lot into the first six weeks. When I was planning the season I decided that Labor Day weekend would be a good one to take off for all of my teams. The break would be just as important for me as it for the players. Getting the... | |||
| 18 Sep 2020 | #249 Training Team Concepts with Young Players | 00:29:47 | |
My teams were back to a full schedule of games last weekend. On Friday evening my U12 goalkeeper broke her hip taking a goal kick. It was the strangest injury I’ve ever seen. I watched the replay on the Veo recording and it look like it happened when she landed on her right foot after... | |||
| 25 Sep 2020 | #250 Training Players to Recognize and Create 2 v 1 Situations | 00:33:02 | |
What is it about round numbers that make them more meaningful to us? Getting to 200 episodes was huge and now 250 seems like another milestone. I suppose it is but I’m looking at it as being halfway to 500. That’s my goal at the moment. I had two teams in a tournament over the... | |||
| 02 Oct 2020 | #251 Soccer’s Biggest Problem | 00:50:44 | |
I had a pretty easy schedule last weekend. With just four games over three days. One game on Friday and Saturday as well as two more on Sunday. That’s almost a weekend off by my usual standards. One of the games was on a grass field. It’s the first game I’ve had on grass in... | |||
| 16 Oct 2020 | #252 Training the #6 | 00:43:13 | |
Two weeks ago three of my teams participated in a tournament. That meant that I had 10 games from Friday to Sunday. It’s not a huge physical challenge to coach 10 games in a weekend. But it is a mental challenge because you’re focused and intense for each of those games. It can be an... | |||
| 23 Oct 2020 | #253 Encourage Creativity and Confidence in Your Players | 00:34:07 | |
One of the benefits of coaching as many teams as I do is that I see just about every situation you can imagine. Last weekend I had eight games from Friday through Sunday. Two games Friday, two Saturday and 4 on Sunday. Today I thought I’d pull out one takeaway that I had from each... | |||
| 30 Oct 2020 | #254 Do You Need a Coaching License? | 00:39:08 | |
Last weekend should have been State Cup for my 2005 but it was moved to the November because the facility that was supposed to host it was closed to all non-professional sports. I had blocked out the whole weekend for my other teams so they didn’t have any games scheduled. We ended up moving a... | |||
| 06 Nov 2020 | #255 How to Prepare Meaningful Player Evaluations | 00:35:24 | |
My schedule has really slowed down in the last couple of weeks. The end of the fall always brings with it a much more relaxed pace. I’m grateful that we were able to complete our season. That was definitely not guaranteed when we started back in August. This weekend is State Cup for my 2005’s.... | |||
| 13 Nov 2020 | #256 Analyze your Opponent | 00:34:52 | |
Well, We had a tough three games in State Cup last weekend. The level of competition and athleticism was just two much for us. We didn’t help ourselves with some unforced errors that cost us goals at key points in the game. We also didn’t create as many chances as we needed to in order... | |||
