Our mission here is to help educate parents and help you make better decisions when it comes to youth soccer. You may know me as The 😡 (Angry) Soccer Guy, Kyle Wilson, Coach Kyle, or KyleCWilsonOfficial. Either way, I know that right now you are giving me your most valuable resource, your time and attention. We will do our very best every single day to keep your attention. For reference: My parents spent $82,593 dollars on my youth soccer career between the ages of 7-18 years old. I was fortunate enough to find a coach who cared about and knew how to develop players. If it wasn’t for my family finding a coach, I am 100% certain that I would not be here today being able to be in the position to help you. It’s tough having to think outside the box and we are challenging you to think differently about your child’s development. Think bigger picture - especially if they are coming to you and mentioning that they have a long-term dream. You will want to focus on the following: 1) Your child’s long-term development 2) Finding a Coach who cares and knows how to develop 3) Development/Training always starts at home 4) Focus on doing the right things on and off the field 5) Do not be a joystick parent. Rules: - Do NOT sell anything here or use this platform as any kind of funnel (including to other servers) - We delete low effort community pots, and posts with poor English. Proof read your post first. - Be respectful of other people and their opinions (even if you disagree). - Help us make high quality posts.

Discussions are good. 2) Go big or go home and think outside the box. 3) Be open to new ideas and beliefs about youth development. And without further ado, enjoy and remember to love the process and the journey. You child will only be a kid for so long.
