 "The worst Thing That Can Happen to A Youth Soccer Player or team Is Win Early"

​Quote of the weekend by a soccer parent: "The worst Thing That Can Happen to A Youth Soccer Player Is Win Early". Following is a video on a conversation I recently had with a youth soccer player's parent at the Central Jersey Futsal League in reference to youth soccer and the meaning of winning and development. Some say we want our team to be challenged, we want them to play better or older teams...we don't care about winning or losing we just want to be challenged...what they really mean is we want them to be challenged as long as they win...The road to development is slow, hard paced with many lessons, and most are not ready for it.

    As an ex player I have loved the sport since I was 4 years old. 
    Soccer has always been part of my life, both on and off the pitch. From my early years as a 4year old playing in my dad’s pro team peanut programs for kids, to the older training sessions, through high school, college and eventually going back to Europe and playing at the pro level I have loved the game, and the lessons it has taught me both on and off the pitch. The relationships with fellow players and coaches are priceless. 
    Passing the knowledge of the game and teaching kids the love of the game, watching them develop, both on and off the pitch, watching their love for the game grow, leading with the game being the best teacher and showing them how to play a complete game is a great passion.
