The Hidden Scoreboard No One's Watching
About this episode
Neil Crawford discusses the overlooked aspects of youth soccer development beyond just winning and losing.
Winning and losing tells you almost nothing about whether your kid's team is actually developing. I break down the real signals I look for after a decade of watching games as a soccer parent — the ones most people miss entirely. I share a personal moment from one of my son's games that changed how I see all of this. And I tease a new series I'm planning, bringing coaches on to go even deeper.
