Learning from the USWNT: Key Insights for enhancing youth soccer development in the US. Despite the USWNT's early exit in the 2023 WC, what lessons can we glean from their past sporting supremacy and its influence on US youth soccer development? kirksimpkins.weebly.com/sports-blog

USWNT WC game 1 (USA 3 - Vietnam 0) It was highly unlikely the US was going to lose this game, however I expected the US to come out much tighter! There was at least one sub, that if she doesn't touch the field again this WC, the US will be better off!

@tallcorb I can certainly do that, appreciate your response Mo! I probably have a lot to say about all 3 LOL, but parents of youth athletes in particular!

@k_simp72 I would love to see you write articles from the different perspectives on a topic. Coach- player- parent.

@gilliga14408201 @ImCollegeSoccer If your an athlete that can hang at that level and your parents have the cash to make it happen, by all means go learn those life lessons. I would also argue that there are plenty of other well guided athletic programs out there that teach life lessons and ur tab isn't 18K

@k_simp72 @ImCollegeSoccer Well guided athletic programs teach kids life lessons they will not get elsewhere. You don’t get to pick the sport your kid loves. If you believe in the lessons to be learned, you suck up the expense.

#CSTruth In the 2022-23 club season: 1. What was your Total Cost? 2. What region and club affiliation do you play at? DM: $18,700. We play ECNL in Florida. Here’s how I broke it down. It sounds absurd but when you start listing it out..it all adds up! *Club Fee-$2,300 *Team Fee- $1,500 *Uniform- $500 *Flights for 2 for out of state league games, 2 tournaments and nationals: $3,000 *Hotels for all game travel: $4,800 *College visits flights, camp cost and hotels: $2,800 *Food and entertainment while away on visits and games: $2500 * Rental cars- $1,300 Total estimated cost is $18,700 for player and one parent. -ECNL Parent Florida

@kyleeedwards67 Keep up the great work Kylee! Youth coaches and parents have lost their minds, pick a sports its the same issue and has caused a shortage of people willing to ref/ump. Cudos to you for putting on the uniform and supporting those that truly matter in this equation... The kids!
