    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.

@scmelodies ,

Parents Owe it to their Kids to Listen!

The Inner Huddle podcast has changed my life. Not just the way I coach, not just the way I speak to my kids on the soccer field, but my entire outlook on child development in all of life. From listening, I have learned how many parents, coaches, and managers make it all about themselves! Thank you, Pez, Geoff, and Betsy, for working hard to create a much-needed podcast! Dare I say, it is the most needed youth sports podcast of all time! Keep writing, teaching, and getting the message out! It’s all about the child; let them have fun, develop, and play to the highest level possible with their God-given ability and practice. But no matter what, keep playing for the fun of playing the game till your old and gray! And then some!
