Announcing: How The Elite Soccer Playbook

Youth soccer is more than just a game—it’s a journey filled with passion, challenges, and opportunities.

For parents and players, the world of youth soccer can sometimes feel overwhelming. Between choosing the right club, managing practice schedules, and understanding college recruiting, it’s easy to get lost in conflicting advice.

I’ve been there. And, don’t want this for you.

That’s why I’ve dedicated the past year to creating a resource that simplifies this process and sets you up for success.

The Challenges Facing Youth Soccer Families Today

As a parent, former coach, and soccer enthusiast, I’ve seen firsthand how confusing the youth soccer landscape can be in the United States. Here are a few common challenges:

• Conflicting Advice: There’s a wealth of information online, but it’s often contradictory. What one source calls “the best training method” might be dismissed by another.
• Uncertainty About Optimal Training: With countless training methods available, players often wonder which approaches are truly effective and at what age they should be introduced.
• Club and League Overload: With so many clubs, leagues, and developmental pathways like MLS NEXT, ECNL, GA, and NAL it’s hard to know which one truly benefits your child’s growth.
• Balancing Fun and Development: Soccer should be about the enjoyment of the sport. But, for aspiring competitive players, there’s also the pressure to excel, leading to burnout and stress.
• Parenting Without Overstepping: It’s challenging for parents to offer support without becoming overly involved or pressuring their children.
• Financial Pressures: The cost of club fees, travel expenses, and equipment can quickly add up, creating financial strain and forcing families to make tough budgeting decisions.
• Time Management Struggles: Balancing practice, games, school, and family time can be overwhelming, leaving little room for rest and other important activities.
• Performance Pressure and Anxiety: Both players and parents often face high expectations, leading to stress and anxiety that can detract from the joy of the game.

These frustrations have driven me to create a guide that not only addresses these pain points but also provides clear, actionable strategies to help young players thrive.

Introducing The Elite Soccer Playbook

I’m excited to announce the upcoming launch of The Elite Soccer Playbook: The Blueprint for Development, Success (and Fun)—a comprehensive guide designed for both players and parents.

This eBook is the culmination of years of navigating the youth soccer ecosystem with my two sons. My oldest has been playing club soccer since he was 7 and now competes in MLS NEXT. We’ve been through it all.

• Navigating the Soccer Pathway: Get insider guidance on progressing from local clubs to college recruiting and beyond, so you can make informed decisions at every stage of your soccer journey.

Whether your child is just starting or already competing at a higher level, this book is designed to simplify the complexities of youth soccer and help them achieve success while still enjoying the game.
