I hear this all the time from soccer parents: "If my kid really loved the game, they'd practice on their own." I used to believe it too. But here's the problem — it's backwards. I'm going to break down why competency, no
I'm continuing my series untangling the assumptions behind pay-to-play soccer, and this time I'm tackling a terminology problem that's easy to miss but really matters. I break down a proposal from an ECNL leader for a ne
Passionate coaches aren't enough to build a great youth soccer program — passion doesn't scale, and it doesn't guarantee competency. In this episode, Neil breaks down why clubs need a clear, repeatable development proces
I make the case for a controversial idea in youth soccer: that great coaching isn't about finding the most passionate, experienced person — it's about building a process so strong it doesn't depend on them. I break down
I get into what it's really been like raising two soccer kids — the early mornings, the balance between pushing and living vicariously, and the small daily habits that shaped who they've become as players and people. Alo
Going back to the beginning of this journey — to something I stumbled onto almost by accident when my sons first started playing, that most parents and players never think to do. It wasn't a coaching secret or expert adv
Every coach knows the problem: the game ends, the moment's gone, and the feedback that actually changes how a kid plays never makes it past the parking lot. On this episode of The Inside Scoop, I sit down with the founde
I sat down with pro footballer Erik McCue, who's played in Thailand, Sweden, and the U.S. — and asked him what actually separates European soccer from ours. His answer surprised me: in Sweden, his team runs 1-2 full vide
Everyone thinks they've found the fix for pay-to-play. Free training centers. A revamped ODP. Sounds great on paper. But what if the "fix" actually makes things worse? I've spent years building something in this space, a
It happened again. Two years ago, a tournament got rained out halfway through. No third game. No refund. No champion. Just a bunch of disappointed kids standing on a wet field. This time I decided to get answers. I sat d
I keep hearing that pay-to-play soccer needs to be "fixed," but I think most of that conversation misses what parents are actually buying. This isn't a necessity — it's a lifestyle choice, closer to walking into a BMW de
My guest Goran has lived more soccer cultures than almost anyone I've talked to — born in Croatia during wartime, raised through a Bundesliga club's academy in Germany, thrown into American club soccer in Dallas, then tr
People assume soccer's cheaper abroad because parents there grew up playing, so they just make better coaches. I don't think that's it. Coaching is its own skill — playing the game doesn't hand it to you for free, same a
Most players go years without an honest read on where they stand — not because coaches are unkind, but because nobody's built the yardstick. I break down an idea I've been chewing on: start with proven, established playe
People love the idea that solidarity payments and training compensation will fund grassroots soccer and motivate coaches — but does it actually work that way? I break down how these FIFA systems really function, why the
This episode, I pushed back on the idea that executive salaries are driving up youth soccer costs. Less than 2% of Americans make half a million a year, and that money's concentrated in tech and finance — not soccer admi
Everyone has a theory about why youth soccer costs so much. This week, I'm taking those theories apart — one by one. First up: the claim that executive salaries are quietly draining parents' wallets. I went looking for t
If I had to pick just one thing to improve in American youth soccer, this would be it. Watching Spain beat Argentina got me thinking about why players over there hit a wall we just don't have, while ours can coast for ye
I sat down with Benjamin Ifada, whose soccer journey took him from playing in Nigeria to England and France before landing here in the US, where he now coaches at Legends Football Club. We trace how each of those systems
This week I sat down with my son after a tough World Cup run and asked him a simple question — his answer sent me down a rabbit hole. I ended up connecting the dots between engagement psychology, an old fast food trick f
