About this listen

Vedral Soccer Academy is setting a new standard for elite youth soccer in the Dallas area — developing high-level players, refining established athletes, and building confident leaders through fast-paced, high-intensity training.

In this episode of The Over the Line Podcast we sit down with Dillon Vedral — founder of Vedral Soccer Academy and former FC Dallas youth coach — to unpack his journey from player to coach, and how his commitment to youth development sparked the founding of Vedral Soccer Academy, with the goal of shaping players who thrive on and off the field.

They explore what it means to “turn kids into soccer players,” diving into Dillon’s coaching philosophy, the traits that separate top-level athletes, and what U.S. soccer can learn from player-first environments. From technical growth to character development, this episode offers insight, strategy, and inspiration for anyone invested in the future of the game.

Whether you’re a coach, parent, or player — there’s something in this episode for you.
