What Youth Soccer Doesn't Want to Tell You About Fitness
About this episode
This episode discusses the overlooked importance of fitness in youth soccer and how parents can support their child's training intensity.
Fitness doesn't fit the narrative — it's not fun, it's not easy to sell, so it quietly gets left out of the conversation around player development. In this episode, I dig into why fitness actually matters more than people admit, why the real problem usually isn't fitness at all but a lack of intensity in training, and what parents can look for — and do at home — if their child's environment isn't providing it.
