Are Soccer Execs Really the Problem? Breaking Down the Pay-to-Play Cost Debate
from The Inside Scoop with Anytime Soccer Training - Discussing Youth Soccer from Around the World · host Neil Crawford
This episode, I pushed back on the idea that executive salaries are driving up youth soccer costs. Less than 2% of Americans make half a million a year, and that money's concentrated in tech and finance — not soccer admin. I also drew a line between this debate and the corporate CEO pay debate, which is really about wage-sharing, not pricing.Bottom line: if we want to fix soccer costs, we need to look at club P&Ls, real demand for paid training, and the volunteer-vs-paid divide — not just point fingers at executives. I asked listeners to send data or push back if they disagree.Also plugged the Anytime Soccer Training relaunch — 5,000+ videos, travel passports, global races. Free to join at anytime-soccer.com.
