    #43: Valentino | How Di Lorenzo Soccer Mindset is Changing the Game for Youth Athletes

    This week on the Coach Wads Podcast, I’m joined by Valentino Di Lorenzo—the founder of DiLorenzo Soccer Mindset and a true game-changer in the world of youth sports. We dive into Valentino’s powerful story, from growing up playing soccer in Italy to developing a proven 90-day mindset coaching program that’s transforming how young athletes show up on and off the field. We explore why so many kids quit sports by age 13, how fear and pressure from coaches, parents, and internal expectations can mentally block performance, and what Valentino’s doing to help reverse that. He breaks down how his program reprograms self-talk, builds belief systems, and gives kids the mental tools they need to play with confidence, aggression, and joy again. We also talk about the role of mentors, why mindset is the “missing piece” in most athlete development programs, and how habits and positive routines create sustainable growth. Whether you’re a coach, parent, or just someone who wants to lead with more impact—this episode will hit home.
