Description

In this episode, I answer a parent’s question about how to help their child who’s technically solid but finding it hard to stand out on a stronger team.


I share how I’d approach this situation using the principles of play and my experience as both a coach and parent. We talk about balancing technical workphysical training, and tactical awareness, and why development often happens in phases.


Sometimes the answer isn’t more practice — it’s helping your child see the game differently and rebuild confidence as the level rises.
