You don’t need perfect striking technique to score.

Messi has shorter limbs and would have ended up around 4’7” in height if he didn’t get injections at Barca as a kid. And people keep talking about “we just need our best athletes to choose soccer over NFL.”

“Pro’s aren’t even that good.” This guy was a center back just casually doing Neymar stuff with his weak foot.

Nothing beats time on the grass for development. But coordination work with the ball can be beneficial.

When they think football is mainly about size and strength.

“Natural athletes can play any sport." Wrong. Soccer punishes late starters in ways other sports don't.

Can a young player who is slow become fast later on?

“You’ve got my son in the wrong position. Trust me, I played in college.” The Parent:

A Nigerian guy went from never touching a ball to playing NFL in less than 5 years. Could never happen in soccer. Ever.

“Americans won’t watch or support a relegated team.” I know America loves winners but I’d like American soccer fans to tell me if this is true. Would you support a relegated team?

Youth players just pull your shorts up. It’s ridiculous.

Nobody is scoring a pen on this keeper.

You need to be this desperate to improve if you want to reach your potential. Get angry. Get focused.

You can tell someone is a *player* just by looking at their body shape when they pass or strike a ball. Takes less than 10 seconds watching someone at youth level.

So Jude Bellingham is a multi-sport athlete.

“You’re too small. The big kids will bully you on the field.” Smart players can compete with anyone.

If all the soccer players here grew up playing American football, they’d make it to the NFL because they are smarter than NFL players. Sit with the absurdity of that for a minute.

When you master the ball like this your touch and quality will show up in a game. Get your kids practicing this one, it’s difficult.

“Ball and a wall doesn’t translate to a game.” Watch this.

Is this real? MLS fans actually holding up giant red cards? This league is WWE.

You can tell if someone is a good player when they juggle.

Two choices with the dark arts and shirt pulling. 1 - cry about it 2 - teach your kid how to deal with it

“They ran into each other.” Was yellow the right decision?

36-year-old pro soccer player enjoying a pickup game. He’s not bigger or faster than the younger players around him. He stands out because his decision making and technical execution is on a different level.

What Sunday league football in England really looks like.

Berbatov showing how to train at home with a small ball. Working consistently on the basics will bring you so much value.

I’ve coached hundreds of players in the past 15 years, most of them aged 12+ For those who were not *already* technically very good, not a single one became technically excellent, even years later. Develop technical foundation early or you’ll never catch up.

Players and fans talk about the lack of competitiveness. Yet MLS lovers say it’s a great league. Who is telling the truth and who is lying?

The biggest failure in American soccer is how we think about athleticism. We chase bigger, faster, and stronger like it’s the main goal. 🧵

You don’t get this level of ball mastery without early engagement. And he’s not playing three different sports.

This is a great test for people of all ages from kids to adults.

James Milner was still playing Premier League football aged 40. Listen to what he says about recovery, diet and avoiding injury.

“Being great pre-puberty has a low correlation with being elite as an adult.” NOT being great pre-puberty has an even lower correlation with being elite as an adult.

“He’s just juggling, I bet he’s crap in a real game…” Early engagement Ball mastery Watch how he strikes the ball at the end.

This is what the best players are great at. Deception.

He’s not playing 5 sports and 2 instruments. The kid is playing football all the time to have this kind of balance. “But I want my kid to do other things!” This approach is not for everyone. Being great is not for everyone either.

The touch and skills are impressive but the body control and flexibility is incredible.

These are the games where you build resilience and character.

“But it doesn’t translate to the real game.” Yes, it does.

This shows the touch, technical quality and decision making of top level players and how it sets them apart.
