The Rising Point. We play to experience joy and expand abilities. We teach to guide exploration and inspire growth. #TheRisingPoint #soccerinschools #futsal

Based on two realities, 1) how the ball is manipulated and 2) the scoring mechanism, football requires and rewards nuances of execution that many completely ignore in favor of a fantasy in which pure speed and/or strength somehow trump the universal principles of the sport. #UCL

@PaulSpacey Appreciate you diving into this and I think it’s an important discussion. I emailed you and hopefully we can connect.

So, either… 1) The “lesser athletes” in the 🇺🇸 are better at ⚽️ than the “best athletes” that 🇫🇷 has at u20 OR… 2) The entire paradigm / myth of “the better athletes” has more nuance to it than many in 🇺🇸 care to admit and are willing to unpack as it relates to ⚽️. #FIFAU20WC

@dariopergolizzi Love this, I think playing with different field shapes is great! How did this go for your team? Do you have video?

Training idea: diagonality from wide areas. Interesting dynamics emerged from this practice in my team recently. Irregular-shaped field w/strong diagonal orientation esp. for blue team's (attacking) progression. Different constraints/rewards possible.

Really fun conversation here with my bro, @ELEVATE_TP, where we discuss an important topic in football; Communication. Check out the Impact Space Podcast on YouTube and Spotify. Episode 9: All about communication youtu.be/eef0ljweW5Q?si… via @YouTube

@tomsan106 The degree to which the customers (parents of young players in this case), are often seduced by absolute fluff and misguided approaches, is something that also requires a lot of interrogation. Some don’t know any better, some may not care, while some buy into status chasing.

Many soccer organizations preach about change and player development but seldom act on their words. They talk a big game, yet their actions fall short. Despite the pay-to-play model generating significant revenue for clubs, they seem reluctant to invest in meaningful progress.

@sgevans Yup, fair point. Folks don’t like to admit or talk about how there are issues everywhere in the ⚽️🌍. And, as it relates to player development, domestic leagues, and national teams, perhaps a more sober analysis is needed instead of “The U.S. men suck!”😏 youtu.be/_cv-BYZ-7ms?si…

Been dipping into American Soccer You Tube recently. Disappointing. Way too much of: WHY AMERICAN SOCCER/MLS/USMNT SUCKS AND ALWAYS WILL DO UNTIL THEY DO THINGS MY WAY. Less hot-takes, more analysis perhaps?
