Ball Mastery Secrets for the [Parent-Trainer]

This is a seminal show in the Inside Scoop podcast where I, (Neil Crawford, founder of www.anytime-soccer.com) defined the "Parent-Trainer" and what role the parent-trainer can play in supporting their child in youth soccer.   While parent-trainers may differ, most of them share the following in common:  

• Parent-trainers believe in the positive power of deliberate practice.  They have witnessed deliberate practice work well in their life and have seen deliberate practice benefit the lives of other people.
• Parent-trainers are unwilling to outsource 100% of their child's development (in soccer or anything else) to someone else
• Parent-trainers are introspective - recognizing the need to strike the right balance needed to support their child in a positive way

  The majority of soccer parent education does not consider parent-trainers.  This is reasonable, considering how few parent-trainers there are.  However, the Inside Scoop is dedicated to helping parent-trainers navigate the wild world of youth soccer.   Are you a parent-trainer? If so, this podcast is for you. Listen till the end and learn the first secret of ball mastery!
