    I am coaching rec soccer for 8/9 year olds. Been watching your videos and feel confident on this. Do you ever do anything on some rules fundamentals? Or have a good link on the best information on this?

    Appreciate the content. I am struggling mightily in this particular phase of coaching. Gonna try these out to see if it helps me and my players. Can't be any worse at least lol

    Hey Coach,
    I just wanted to thank you for all you do.

    I played soccer my whole life, including several seasons of select, and never learned many of the things you are teaching.

    I have been coaching my son's rec team since they were u5.

    This season, in u9, with your help, I implemented build outs and rondos (lots and lots of rondos!)

    We went undefeated this season and qualified for the Tournament of Champions here in Texas.

    I am just dying with excitement to start the tournament tomorrow! Thank you again for all of your videos!

    My problem is yelling & shouting while being emotional during the game but calmer during interval. My players/kids lack stamina, so I know they win games early otherwise it's either a draw or they concede in late minutes but I know position is their biggest strength they just don't & can't take shots no matter how much I preach about chances

    Every video is great Coach of Coaches Rory. Both maybes and training sessions for our little U8 rec squad keeps getting better thanks to you. Much appreciated.

    The stop joysticking and less yelling/coaching while the ball is in play is great advice and has had a noticeable impact. Takes the pressure down and the fun up for the kids.

    Thanks for this Coach. I've adapted a ton of your exercises for my U16 team and they nearly always come off great. 2v1 battle-box is now a staple pre-game warmup. Do you have any expanded advice on halftime adjustments within a recreational framework when I have 7 subs and a 50% playtime commitment? I like in this video how you go for 1 in-possession, 1 out-of-possession, and 1 motivational. I've got the motivational down but I think I am drawn too much toward trying to create matchups and it overpressures the team with too much information.

    Can't thank you enough for your content! I was overwhelmed by the thought of coaching, but I did it for the kids. When they/their parents thanked me for teaching them more in one season than they'd ever learned before, they were thanking you! So, from my team and me, THANK YOU!

    Thank you coach for rare and useful information! For me as a coach the most difficult thing is to find a balance between the result and the proper playing time for all players during the match. Any tips from you how to make subs will be appreciated.

    I'm a U8s coach in England and we play 5v5 is there any tips or advice you would give I've been following and using some tips but obviously 7v7 is a bigger difference than 5v5

    Thanks as always. You're helping grassroots coaches around the world. The yelling sometimes are hard to avoid at u7 to u10…😂. I do try and i feel embarrassed after all.

    I guess dealing with kids turns us into kids ourselves unknowingly…its weird!

    Thanks for all that. The checklist will be very valuable. I coach AYSO and referee and there is always overwhelming joysticking by coaches. Overly emotional coaches, also. Thanks for being a great resource and a voice of reason about youth soccer. Our team is stacked this year so coaching build out almost never ended up being relevant to the games. We did it anyway but I'm not sure it stuck well because it never happened in games…
