Together, Angelo and Johnny explore: How game intensity drives decision-making and competitive habits The long-term value of training in elite environments Confidence vs resilience: which matters more? Tactical reasons behind lineup decisions How coaches can collaborate to support players The importance of player mentality, work ethic, and parental support This episode is a must-listen for coaches, parents, and players navigating development pathways in youth soccer. 🎧 Tune in and ask yourself: What minutes are more important, game minutes or training minutes in the right environment? #PlayerDevelopmentProject #YouthSoccer #GameTimeVsTraining #PlayerDevelopment #SoccerCoaching #MentalResilience #SoccerPodcast
