Hey parents, I wanted to quickly address how to fill out the game evaluation forms on days when there are no games. Even if you don’t have games or training sessions, please still complete the forms based on your training with me. If you had to do an at-home workout, just rate those sections as a three on the questions about game scenarios. It's important for me to get your feedback, so make sure to submit the forms regardless of the circumstances. If you have any questions or additional comments, feel free to include them in the form or the community section.

If you want an easy way to help your athlete meet their daily protein needs, the Premier Protein 30g Shake is a solid option to test out. Here’s the exact one I’ve been using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MH5GGFO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Why it can help - 30 grams of quality protein - Low sugar and low calories - Fast and convenient after training - Supports muscle repair and recovery I’ve been using it consistently and haven’t had any stomach discomfort, which matters since some shakes don’t sit well with everyone. Things to consider - Contains dairy and soy - Some athletes with sensitive stomachs may react differently - Real food should still come first - Shakes are a supplement, not a replacement for meals Why protein matters Protein fuels muscle repair, strength development, lower soreness, and faster recovery between training sessions and games.

Tonight we are teaching the players how to stay sharp with their nutrition during the holidays. Most players fall off this time of year because meals get heavier and routines disappear. I want your kids to stay consistent, feel great, and avoid the lazy slump that hits a lot of athletes. We will cover: - How to balance holiday foods without hurting performance - The 80 to 20 eating rule that keeps energy stable - Smart holiday snack swaps for young athletes - How hydration affects speed, reactions, and focus - Simple movement goals to stay active even on busy days - The one habit each player should commit to this week This call is for both parents and players. Join us so your athlete builds strong habits and starts the new year strong.

Big congrats to the five players who showed up and put in the work tonight: Jax, AJ, Isaias, Clarissa, and Elijah. Proud of all of you for making the effort to grow your game. We dug deep into the role of the defensive midfielder, especially focusing on attacking positioning as the #6 and how to create better angles to receive, escape pressure, and move the ball forward with purpose. We also reviewed Isaias’ MLS Next performance vs Ventura Fusion. Strong game overall, but we went over how he can sharpen his defensive side — winning more tackles, reading cues quicker, and stepping in with better timing. These are the small details that separate good sixes from elite ones. To everyone who didn’t make it tonight, show up next time. These sessions are where real development happens.
