Description

Hey, it’s Neil Crawford, founder of Anytime Soccer Training. This is a follow-up to the last episode where we talked about the classic tryout dilemma: Team A or Team B?


In that show, I walked through how I help my own kids think through those choices. This time, I’m diving deeper — unpacking how I personally evaluate teams, what I actually look for in a training environment, and how I turn these moments into teachable life lessons.


I also share my take on why I don’t obsess over what kids say they want long-term — and instead focus on what they’re willing to do right now.


If you caught the last episode, this one fills in a lot of the blanks. Let’s keep the conversation going and, as always, let’s get better together.
