Youth players

Working with kidsEach session, I focus on 3 core goals for youth players: 1. Skill Development – Introduce one key move or concept they can build on. 2. Game Application – Give them a chance to apply it in small-sided games. 3. Confidence Building – Make sure every kid experiences a “win” moment. These goals help kids fall in love with the game. I adjust the intensity and language to match their level, keeping everything simple and easy to understand. I also modify the time structure because youth players (ages 7–12) learn best in short, focused bursts. Above all, I emphasize movement, confidence, and fun—the essentials for keeping young athletes engaged and growing.

Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers—especially middle to high school athletes—my goal is to bridge the gap between youth development and advanced performance. At this stage, they’re ready for more intensity, deeper concepts, and structured competition. But they still need clarity, patience, and consistent confidence-building. Here’s how I approach it: • Adjust Intensity & Repetition – Match their physical and mental growth while reinforcing fundamentals. • Incorporate Teaching Moments – Break down the “why” behind the game to build smarter players. • Layer in Competition & Mental Training Challenge them to compete and grow under pressure. • Emphasize Role Awareness & Game IQ Help them understand how to contribute and thrive in team settings. • Coach Like a Mentor • Push them without discouraging them • Correct and compliment every session • Talk goals and growth to build accountability It’s about guiding them through their next stage developing not just better athletes, but better people.
