About this listen

Ego and fear are everywhere in youth soccer. They show up when coaches chase wins instead of development. They show up when parents measure success by trophies and standings. They show up when players stop trying new things because they’re afraid of making mistakes.

And what’s the cost? Creativity dies. Confidence crumbles. Kids stop loving the game.

In Episode 2, we talked about how ego and fear are killing creativity in the sport we love. Today in Episode 3, we’re flipping the script. We’re asking: How do we fight back?

The answer: courage.

Courage to let kids play brave.

Courage to value growth over the scoreboard.

Courage to play the long game, not the shortcut.
