This podcast is about bringing parents, players, and coaches together around the most important aspects of the youth sports experience. You have thousands of teachable moments in the context of a 15-year window where kids are most open to learning and development - physically, mentally, tactically, emotionally, psychosocially, and in terms of core character. 

The goal of this podcast is to boost our enjoyment of the game and of the gift we have in our children. We hope to help parents, players, and coaches to make the most of the time we have with our kids, and to launch them into the world of adulthood with a solid toolbox of life skills.

After a dinner with the Potomac Soccer Association and John O'Sullivan, I will share with you the insights gained from a "5 Characteristics of Best Coaches" exercise we did together as a way to draw out some secrets to good coaching. If you're a parent, you'll want to consider how your child will remember their coach in the future. Will he or she be remembered for how well they taught a 4:4:2 or how much they cared about their success on and off the pitch. Listen and decide for yourself.
