Parents, if your player missed last night's call, make sure they watch the replay. It was loaded with corrections and game-changing advice that every young athlete needs. Here’s what we covered: 1. Pregame Nutrition Fixes Most kids are eating the wrong things before matches. We broke down exactly why: • Too much protein before a game slows players down • Not enough carbs lowers energy • Fruits like oranges cause stomach acidity • Nuts and high-fat foods digest too slow The players learned what to eat and when to eat it so they stop running out of gas. 2. The “Scan Twice” Rule We taught the boys why scanning once isn’t enough. Games change every 1–2 seconds, and if they don’t scan twice, they panic, play unsafe passes, and lose the ball under pressure. 3. Outside Back Position Fixes We reviewed game footage and corrected the biggest mistakes: • Turning your back on attackers• Tackling with the wrong foot • Passing into dangerous areas • Dribbling too long under pressure • Not clearing wide when options disappear Every player who plays outside back needs to watch this section. 4. Confidence, Stress, and Game Anxiety We covered simple tools that help players calm their nerves: • Controlled breathing• Imagery and mental rehearsal • Understanding when to delay instead of dive in • How to make calculated tackles without risking yellow cards 5. Strength and Muscle Growth For Young Players Players finally understand the real formula: Protein + Carbs = Muscle Repair + Real Strength Not one or the other. Parents — have your child watch this video with you.This call answers the same questions I get over and over during training sessions, and it will help your player fix their nutrition, gain confidence, and play smarter immediately. Replay is attached inside this post. Let me know if you want me to review your child’s game next.

Parents, I’m opening up a Bring Your Buddy Week inside Elite Soccer Academy. Here’s exactly how it works: 1. Your child brings a friend to a training session — totally free for the friend. Just give me the friend’s name and parent contact info first so I can reach out and confirm their spot. 2. If that friend signs up for my program… YOU get 1 full month of free training added to your child’s program. No gimmicks. No “maybes”. One friend = one guaranteed free month. 3. There’s no cap. Bring 2 friends who join… that’s 2 free months. Bring 3… you get 3 months. Stack it as much as you want. This is the easiest way to drop your training cost down while helping another young athlete level up. CTA If you know one parent who’s been talking about extra training for their kid, comment “BUDDY” or send me their name and number. I’ll take care of the rest. Let’s get more players improving together.
