[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that some of the #TheProJourney episodes by Kyle Wilson were helpful (mainly the [b]YouthSoccerPlaybook[/b]).  I realized that my child and I focused on things early that would not really be that useful until later on, and the focus really should have been on dribbling and 1v1.  Compared to other travel players, that is the main gap that we're still catching up on.  [/quote]

Kyle is annoying but the Youth Soccer Playbook is everything you need to know. I documented the steps and it is the blueprint we are still following. If you start late, you just have to adapt it but the principles remain the same when building a player.[/quote]

So many top professionals took different routes, it paints a clear picture that the reality is different than the theories and there's no single playbook to fit all [/quote]

Ok, if you really think you should follow-it like a checklist, you really need to loosen up. It can be boiled down to you should not be in travel soccer until you know the basics. Learn how to attack 1v1. Played small-sided as much as possible. Learn to juggle and develop a quality first touch.

People are running to False8 and Next Star hoping for them to fix their kid when they kid can’t keep the ball up 50x or do a basic body feint.

If you have a better playbook to use as a blueprint please share. Parents deserve to have something better than what these clubs are telling them as most of it is garbage.[/quote]
