  1. I love this so much! Im a young soccer player, and im always so worried about winning because my teammates and parents pressure me all the time and dont even realize it. This helped me realize that it isn't about winning, but it's about trying different things and having fun! Thank you!

  2. I totally agree for me I’m on a club team so it’s definitely Like more pressure to win but if u don’t play good then ur not gonna help ur team win plus u will be on the bench lol I love your videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  3. I love this!!!! I preach this all the time to my kiddo, and to her teammates and their parents. It is not all about the "W"! Its about the individual development as a player especially in youth soccer. So many parents get so upset the kids do not win and put un needed pressure on them to win causing so much negative self talk it is so harmful to them as a player and as an individual.

  4. If you don't get a scholarship right out of high school, that's fine. However, don't become a full-time student if you decide to go to college to pursue a sport. This means that you should only take 9 credit hours for every semester you take. Once you become a full-time student (12 credit hours for that semester,) you start your 5 year eligibility. That means even if you finally get on a team a couple of years into college, you won't have the full 4 years of playing. This happened to me. I only got to play one season of football on my 5th year in college, even though I never played before

  5. These tips are amazing! Ur the best! I want to go pro someday, I’ve been dreaming since the first day I stared playing soccer! now I am at a ECNL level still with that dream! U are extremely helpful to me! keep up the hard work Brittany!!!⚽️⚽️⚽️

  6. I do volleyball and track and something about me with volleyball if I need to work on smaller things like getting the ball high on a dig and one of my coaches told me not worry about winning because losing a game just will make you better as a athlete and winning is not everything! Hearing a professional athlete say this too makes me feel better when I lose! You are the best!!!!💙🤍💚🖤💓

  7. Thank you so much. Idk what I would actually do without you! You’re such a great role model as an athlete and just a human in general. These tips go hard for me right now. My problem right now is trying to find a good team with the right coach so I can improve on. I’ve been to multiple camps, private practices, and tryouts to find the right team. There has been lots of stress and even more when I find that my friends or former teammates have gotten offers and I haven’t. Is there any way you could help me through that? Maybe some tips or advice. I’m not sure what to do. I feel alone and isolated.
