Customer Reviews
Brilliant podcast!
I just listened to Romero in the first podcast. Love it! He has a different perspective than most administrators and coaches in the Development Academy have regarding development. Romero says Spain emphasizes developing both talent and competitiveness, including developing a "competitive gene" by making the outcome of each game important. In the U.S., most "experts" argue that the score and results of youth games don't matter. Very different views regarding player development, and maybe something U.S. coaches and administrators should note.
Refreshing! Finally a podcast that discusses instead of ranting
It is so refreshing to hear the host ask questions players, coaches, federation leaders and fans at large should be asking about development. I love how the show has actual players and coaches with real world experience. I also appreciate the fact that neither the host nor the guest rant, instead they make thoughtful commentaries that can help the debate of development and abroad playing.
