Hey ESA24 family! Just dropped something inside the community that every parent and player needs to grab right now. It's called the Shin Splints Recovery Guide — a full PDF built specifically for soccer players ages 6-16 using current sports science research. I put this together because I kept seeing players sit out way longer than necessary just because they didn't know what to do. Here's what's inside: - How to diagnose shin splints at home - The full R.I.C.E. protocol broken down simply - Daily stretching routine for fast recovery - Phase 1 and Phase 2 strengthening exercises - Cross-training options to stay fit while healing - Week-by-week return to play protocol - Nutrition tips to speed up healing - Parent Q&A quick reference This is the same approach I use with my players inside the 6-month program. No fluff, no guessing — just a clear plan to get your player back on the field faster and stronger. Download it in the resources section. And if you know another soccer parent who needs this, share it with them. Drop a comment below — has your player dealt with shin splints before? What worked? Let's help each other out. See you on the field. Coach Jessie | Elite Soccer Academy 24

I’ll be reviewing player game footage on the next coaching call. If you want feedback: - Send your footage ahead of time or bring it live - Best: bird’s-eye view (Veo, elevated angle) - No setup? Still send it. Ground-level, portrait or landscape is fine - Just make a real effort to capture the game clearly Now the important part… Every player needs to show up. I’m giving out a nutrition questionnaire that I’ll use to build personalized meal samples for each player. - Simple, realistic meals - No overcomplicated plans - Built around what players will actually eat - Designed for performance You don’t get this level of coaching if you don’t show up. Players who take advantage of this separate themselves fast.

shyla had 3 games this weekend and finished with 3 goals! She stuck to the pre game meals and half time snacks and I saw the extra energy she got out of every half of each game. She had pretzels one game with water another one she apple sauce with water and the last game she stacked it up with some pretzels and two pieces of sour patch. I will say I’ve never seen this much energy out her coming out of the halftime break. She’s trusting the process, and is a for sure believer!! 💪🏽😂 let’s goooo!!!! She’s also getting comfortable playing forward not dropping to much on defense which is helping her to finish and dominate on the offensive side of the pitch.

Video analysis is important and will always be part of the program. But watching players live gives me a different level of detail: • Warm-up habits • Body language and confidence • Communication with teammates • Off-ball movement and positioning • Decision-making in real time • Adaptability during the game • True effort and work rate These are things that don’t always show clearly on video. ⚠️ Important I will prioritize players I have NOT watched in person yet. If I haven’t seen your child play, it may take some time to get out due to my current team schedule with LAFC but I will try my best. Video analysis will still be ongoing in the meantime. Goal is to see every player at least once. 📊 Poll Which applies to you? 🔘 Have NOT been evaluated in person yet 🔘 Have been evaluated, want another game reviewed 📩 Next Step After voting, send game details. Earlier you send it, the better chance I can make it.
