Hello everyone! My name is Miguel, I am 7 yrs old and I just finished my first season with my futsal program. I will be starting my summer season next week. I play defense and I can't wait to strengthen and improve my skills.

Yesterday’s coaching call focused on what players should be doing 24 hours before a game to prepare properly for performance. We discussed: ✅ Hydration before match day ✅ Proper nutrition and fueling ✅ Recovery and sleep importance ✅ Why players should avoid exhausting workouts before games ✅ Light technical work instead of heavy conditioning ✅ Mobility, foam rolling, and injury prevention routines ✅ Mental preparation and confidence going into matches One of the biggest points from the call: Players should not destroy their legs the day before games. The focus should be on: • Sharp technical work • Ball mastery • Passing and finishing • Mobility and recovery • Arriving fresh and explosive on game day ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 MATCHFIT CONDITIONING + INJURY PREVENTION RESOURCE The MatchFit conditioning and injury prevention resource has been shared for everyone to review. Players should begin implementing these routines consistently from home to: ✔️ Improve recovery ✔️ Reduce injuries ✔️ Build stronger movement habits ✔️ Improve overall athletic preparation ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 SCANNING TOOL RESOURCE Players should also continue using the scanning tool resource shared earlier this week. Scanning is a habit that must be trained consistently. The players who improve their ability to gather information early will play faster and make better decisions on the field. Even 5-10 minutes per day using the tool consistently can help build better habits over time. Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday’s call. Consistent habits outside of training continue to separate serious players from everyone else. ⚽

My son Leon Haddad is soccer obsessed 7yo and we live in the Valley. He’s a left-footed player and plays center and left mid for LAFC U8—this being his first year playing club soccer. This season, one of our key focuses is sharpening his decision-making in midfield so those quick, smart choices consistently translate into better performances during games. We’re excited to keep working with Jessie to help elevate Leon’s game as he continues to grow and develop.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Leon’s Insta if you want to follow his soccer journey: https://www.instagram.com/leonhaddad10?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
