Coach Nick Valenti

@BeastModeSoccer Let’s be honest- an event like this would be for parents (maybe big ego coaches) and perpetuate FOMO of their kids being “the best”while they seek to justify their spending! Let kids play at the level that they can be most successful at and still love the game!

ENCL vs GA vs Elite 64 should have a champion of champions event

You can see a player on your team is lacking in confidence Perhaps they’re: -looking lethargic -hiding -looking lost -reacting with stronger than normal emotion -quieter than usual -making uncommon errors It’s time to help. But how? 🧵 on 5 ways to build player confidence 👇🏻

I am beyond grateful to announce my verbal commitment to play D1 soccer & continue my studies at Illinois State University! Thank you to my parents, coaches, teammates & friends for your support! Go Redbirds!❤️ #ALLIN @Redbird_Soccer @LFAGA03_04 @LouFuszSoccer @FHCGirlsSoccer

Parents & Coaches can learn a lot from seeing the game from the side of the ref! There is a shortage of officials in our area mostly due to poor sideline behavior! We must do better!

Have a great sporting weekend! Let us know what you are all up to? @JodyvanKessel @CoachNickMoScr @GottwaldVicky @hutchie02colts @JanetVolleyball @7oaksSports @WeAreCoachCore @DarrenWensor @suewilkinson13 @GavinGW @CommunityYC @ClubRoseville @CroygasYfc @thelocker_uk @Frontrownh

By choosing an in-game persona we give ourselves a better chance for our predictive brain to decide to engage with that last lung busting run. We give ourselves a better chance to engage in that tackle…

The team you’re on is less important than the attitude, effort & energy you bring. Freshman, Sophomore, JV, Varsity, starter, 2nd string, role player, etc. doesn’t define who you are. How you respond to your role, while working for the role you want & helping your team win, DOES!

Over 15 saves in last nights @LFAGA03_04 @GAcademyLeague game against Sporting Red Devils. Here are just a few of them.

My short post on how to help a player develop their confidence... Key coach communication skills: -asking the right questions -listening and prompting -elaboration

PARENTS: If you want to help your children improve their sport performance, consider being more silent on the sidelines and more vociferous about sleep and nutrition. Your children will manage the field just fine as you control the home environment.👍 #TOVO

Check out my highlights from the first season of @GAcademyLeague with @LouFuszSoccer @LFA_GA02_03_04! More to come!!! @FHCGirlsSoccer

👏👏👏

Parents: You can’t force your child to be motivated. You can’t make them do more, but you should be teaching them that if they choose to do the minimum, that’s what they’ll get in return. Eventually, they’ll learn the hard way that the bare minimum doesn’t produce desired results

got some good work in CO!! @GAcademyLeague @LFA_GA02_03_04

This girl @ValentiMadi is always competing! Nice saves! @LFA_GA02_03_04 @GAcademyLeague

Fun watching you play!

Love watching you play!

What is the thing you think holds coaches back from developing players? Aside from wanting to win/ego.

The next chapter in STL soccer history begins now. We are St. Louis CITY SC. #stlCITYsc #OurCITYOurSpirit

You have no control over what other people are doing or saying & really, why would you care. Just concentrate on helping & serving others. Focus on those who’re important in your life, the things you can control & how you can impact others. In the end, that’ll say it all.
