🧵 One day, you’ll look back and realise it all went by in a blink. 👇

The Saturday mornings.
The muddy boots.
The little faces running out full of hope.

One day it’ll all be over.
No more car rides, no more kits to wash, no more “what time’s kick-off?”

And you’ll wish you’d seen it differently.Image
We think there’s time.
Time to fix it, time to change it, time to do it better next season.

But childhood doesn’t wait.
It just passes quietly, without a second chance.
Fear steals joy faster than failure ever could.

➠ Children start to play safe.
➠ Parents start to worry.
➠ Coaches start to control.

And somewhere along the way, the fun disappears.

The message:
➟ Let kids play.
➟ Don’t live your dreams through them.
➟ Even in defeat, focus on effort & growth.
➟ Simple? Not quite.

The replies show how divided the football world is.

✨ "We can’t lose the Mavericks." 🧵

Michael Beale’s message on youth development is powerful because it reminds us that football isn’t just about tactics, systems, or drills.

It’s about people.
It’s about individuality.
It’s about protecting the spark that makes a child fall in love with the game.

The truth?
Too often, in coaching, we round off the edges. We try to create perfection.

But the greatest players Messi, Robben and Palmer were celebrated because of their edges.

If we forget this, we risk losing the very players we love to watch.

⚽ Coaches, parents, leaders: Are we creating room for Mavericks, or are we unintentionally pushing them out?



Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Great coaching secret: We don't instruct first, we observe first. 👀

The best coaches spend more time watching than talking. What you see determines what you say and when to say nothing at all.

Observation isn't passive coaching, it's the foundation of everything that works.

Good coaches are walking away from youth sports.

Why?

➠ Rising parent expectations
➠ Constant criticism
➠ Unrealistic development timelines
➠ Volunteer burnout

Remember: Most youth coaches balance full-time jobs, families, and unpaid hours of preparation.

➠ Want better sports? Support before you criticise.Image

🚨 Your brilliant session plan might fail before it begins...

Not because of your coaching, but because of environmental factors you overlooked.

Some you can control, others you can't.

Let's explore what you should be mindful of... 🧵⚽️🏀 Image
Environmental factors in coaching aren't just about the weather.

They include:

● Physical environment
● Social dynamics
● Psychological atmosphere
● Temporal elements

All impact your session's effectiveness. Let's break these down.
Factor #1: Weather conditions ☀️🌧️❄️
Uncontrollable, but predictable:

☀️ Heat? Consider hydration breaks & lower intensity
🌧️ Rain? Have indoor backup plans
❄️ Cold? Extended warm-ups & continuous movement
🌬️ Wind? Adjust technical activities accordingly

How do you adapt to weather challenges?
