    Extra Time - Don't Compare Your Child's Performance to the Best You've Seen Them Play

    Extra Time - Don't Compare Your Child's Performance to the Best You've Seen Them Play

    In this latest bitesize episode of the Inner Huddle Perry talks about the importance of not comparing your child's performances to the best you've seen them play and how this can lead to parents trying to influence performances with external rewards. He talks about the dangers of using a child's best performance as a benchmark as there are too many uncontrollable variables within a single performance outcome. 
    The topic is taken from a chapter in Perry's new book - Did You Win, Did You Score...? How to help your child succeed at football and life.

    Series 3 - Episode 5 - Youth Football Parents Q&A With Pez & Geoff

    Series 3 - Episode 5 - Youth Football Parents Q&A With Pez & Geoff

    In the latest episode of series three Pez & Geoff answer more questions sent in by parents and coaches along with discussing some of the chapters in Pez's new book (Did You Win, Did You Score...?) The questions are listed below.  
    Does shouting out from the side lines really ever achieve anything positive?
     
    Chapter 26 - Embrace and encourage rotation of players to play in different positions.
     
    My son’s team does not give a top scorer award but every team at the club does. So I buy him the trophy myself with the club badge on and give it to him on the day of the presentation (when he is top goal scorer). I don’t see an issue with this.
     
    Chapter 90 - Children are like seeds.
     
    If a player has made it known that they are leaving for a new team at the end of the season and do not turn up for 5 training sessions in a row (possibly training with the new team) but still expect to play on a Sunday - would you still play them? Genuinely interested to hear your thoughts.
     
    Please send any questions you want answered/discussed to Pez at perry@pezzazstreetsoccer.com or 07818225592
