Team, Quick update for this week 👇 There will be no coaching call this Wednesday. I’m taking the time to celebrate @Alyssa Rae Villa’s birthday on Wednesday and be present with my family as we prepare for this next chapter. Appreciate you all understanding that. Now here’s where most of you mess up… No call does NOT mean no progress. ⚠️ Non-Negotiable: Weekly Check-In (⬅️Click) Your weekly check-in still needs to be submitted today. No excuses. This is how I track your development and give you real feedback. 🔥 This Week = COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CHALLENGE If you’re seeing this, I want you to post a question in the community. Yes, YOU. Most of you stay quiet… and that’s exactly why progress is slower than it should be. We’re fixing that this week. Use this template to post: 1. What I want to improve right now:(Be specific. Not “get better”… that’s weak.) 2. Where I struggle the most:(Be honest. This is where growth actually starts.) 3. My goal for the next 30–60 days:(What are you actually chasing?) 4. What I’ve tried so far:(Show effort. Don’t come empty.) I’ll be actively responding and coaching inside the community all week. ⚽ Be a Student of the Game We’ve got high-level matches this week in the UEFA Champions League. Don’t just watch… STUDY: - Movement off the ball - Decision-making speed - Positioning in key moments If you’re serious about improving, this is free learning. 💐 Heads Up: Mother’s Day Weekend Make sure you take time to appreciate your moms this weekend.Handle your responsibilities on and off the field. Final Reminder - Submit your check-in - Post your question - Stay engaged The players who win in this program are the ones who show up, speak up, and take action. Let’s raise the standard this week.

Look at the excitement when you make the decision and know your playing the game right!!!

This week I want to hear from YOU. No polls. No multiple choice. I want real answers in the comments. 👇 Answer this ONE question: "Right now, what is the SINGLE biggest thing holding your game back?" It could be technical. It could be physical. It could be mental. It could be consistency. There's no wrong answer here. I'm reading every single reply — and I'll be pulling the most common themes into this week's coaching call so we can go DEEP on what actually matters to you right now. This is your chance to shape the session. Don't scroll past. Drop it below. 👇 — Coach Jessie | Elite Soccer Academy 24

Hey ESA24 family! Just dropped something inside the community that every parent and player needs to grab right now. It's called the Shin Splints Recovery Guide — a full PDF built specifically for soccer players ages 6-16 using current sports science research. I put this together because I kept seeing players sit out way longer than necessary just because they didn't know what to do. Here's what's inside: - How to diagnose shin splints at home - The full R.I.C.E. protocol broken down simply - Daily stretching routine for fast recovery - Phase 1 and Phase 2 strengthening exercises - Cross-training options to stay fit while healing - Week-by-week return to play protocol - Nutrition tips to speed up healing - Parent Q&A quick reference This is the same approach I use with my players inside the 6-month program. No fluff, no guessing — just a clear plan to get your player back on the field faster and stronger. Download it in the resources section. And if you know another soccer parent who needs this, share it with them. Drop a comment below — has your player dealt with shin splints before? What worked? Let's help each other out. See you on the field. Coach Jessie | Elite Soccer Academy 24

shyla had 3 games this weekend and finished with 3 goals! She stuck to the pre game meals and half time snacks and I saw the extra energy she got out of every half of each game. She had pretzels one game with water another one she apple sauce with water and the last game she stacked it up with some pretzels and two pieces of sour patch. I will say I’ve never seen this much energy out her coming out of the halftime break. She’s trusting the process, and is a for sure believer!! 💪🏽😂 let’s goooo!!!! She’s also getting comfortable playing forward not dropping to much on defense which is helping her to finish and dominate on the offensive side of the pitch.
