Episode 3. The Parent's Guide to DIY Soccer Training at Home

I've been thinking a lot about why parents are actually the best-positioned people to help their kids improve at soccer — you're right there, every day, and you don't need to hire a trainer to make a real difference. In this episode, I sit down with fellow soccer dad Michael Byers to talk through exactly how to get started.We get into the questions I hear most:Where do you even begin?Why should you be the one doing this?And we talk honestly about the mistakes parents tend to make along the way. Michael and I dig into those first steps — what it actually looks like to build a structured practice routine that grows your kid's skills and confidence, without turning every backyard session into a fight or burning them out.One more thing before you go: I'm working on a future episode specifically about training kids under six, so stay tuned for that.This episode is brought to you by Anytime Soccer Training — the platform I built to take the guesswork out of in-home soccer training.
