Does The Transfer Portal Really Begin at 10? | Ep. 145

Let us know the topics of interest to you!Breaking the Line returns to your airwaves and ECNL President Christian Lavers and ECNL Vice President Doug Bracken asks a question that is fundamental to understanding the youth soccer landscape while also examining what is important to players, coaches, clubs and parents when evaluating talent and development: Does The Transfer Portal Begin at 10 Years Old? In this hour-long episode, Lavers and Bracken examine how do clubs prioritize development vs. recruitment, are clubs chasing the right stick, how can players and coaches reassess and re-evaluate their decision making process as an individual progresses through a club, and it culminates with the "Player Movement Test," a series of questions to help guide those decisions. The BTL Crew also teases more potential special edition podcasts in the near future, so make sure to like and subscribe to be the first one notified when those drop. As always, make sure to submit any questions to https://ecnl.info/BTL-Questions, to subscribe to Breaking the Line on Youtube and all your favorite podcast platform, and to follow the ECNL on all social channels.
