The Myth of the 'Naturally Better' European Parent-Coach

People assume soccer's cheaper abroad because parents there grew up playing, so they just make better coaches. I don't think that's it. Coaching is its own skill — playing the game doesn't hand it to you for free, same as it wouldn't in baseball or football. What's actually different is culture: those parent-coaches stay at the same club for years, like volunteer firefighters, and get better through repetition. I break down why that myth is wrong and what I think it'd take to build something similar here.
