Parents, I need your help! As we move through the summer, I want to make sure I am managing each player’s workload appropriately and adjusting training intensity based on what they are currently doing with their teams. Please vote down below for the option that best describes your child’s current soccer schedule: 🔹 Not currently playing or training with a team this summer 🔹 On a team, but currently on a summer break (little to no team training) 🔹 On a team and only participating in tournaments or occasional games 🔹 On a team and training 1-2 times per week 🔹 On a team and training 3+ times per week consistently ⚠️ If you select either of the tournament options or team training options, please comment below with: • Upcoming tournament dates • Whether your child is currently scrimmaging or playing matches during the week • Any additional training sessions they are attending outside of Elite Soccer Academy The goal is to help me better manage player workload and determine the appropriate level of conditioning, speed, agility, strength, and fitness work we incorporate into our sessions throughout the summer. Thank you for taking a moment to vote and comment. This information will help me make better coaching decisions for everyone.

This summer, I want to start offering FREE additional fitness and strength & conditioning sessions for our Elite Soccer Academy players and families. The goal is simple: keep our players active, sharp, disciplined, and improving throughout the summer with extra work that adds real value outside of regular training sessions. Right now, I’m looking for help from our community to find an open and flexible track & field location near the Covina area (neighboring cities work too). Ideally, we are looking for: • Public/open to the public • No usage fees • Flexible access throughout the day • Preferably a track with an open field attached The sessions would likely take place in the mornings throughout the summer and focus heavily on fitness, conditioning, movement, athleticism, and overall work rate. If you know of any locations that could work, please comment below. I’d love to create even more opportunities for our players to work hard, improve, and stay engaged this summer. 💪⚽️

Team, Quick update for this week 👇 There will be no coaching call this Wednesday. I’m taking the time to celebrate @Alyssa Rae Villa’s birthday on Wednesday and be present with my family as we prepare for this next chapter. Appreciate you all understanding that. Now here’s where most of you mess up… No call does NOT mean no progress. ⚠️ Non-Negotiable: Weekly Check-In (⬅️Click) Your weekly check-in still needs to be submitted today. No excuses. This is how I track your development and give you real feedback. 🔥 This Week = COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CHALLENGE If you’re seeing this, I want you to post a question in the community. Yes, YOU. Most of you stay quiet… and that’s exactly why progress is slower than it should be. We’re fixing that this week. Use this template to post: 1. What I want to improve right now:(Be specific. Not “get better”… that’s weak.) 2. Where I struggle the most:(Be honest. This is where growth actually starts.) 3. My goal for the next 30–60 days:(What are you actually chasing?) 4. What I’ve tried so far:(Show effort. Don’t come empty.) I’ll be actively responding and coaching inside the community all week. ⚽ Be a Student of the Game We’ve got high-level matches this week in the UEFA Champions League. Don’t just watch… STUDY: - Movement off the ball - Decision-making speed - Positioning in key moments If you’re serious about improving, this is free learning. 💐 Heads Up: Mother’s Day Weekend Make sure you take time to appreciate your moms this weekend.Handle your responsibilities on and off the field. Final Reminder - Submit your check-in - Post your question - Stay engaged The players who win in this program are the ones who show up, speak up, and take action. Let’s raise the standard this week.

Look at the excitement when you make the decision and know your playing the game right!!!

This week I want to hear from YOU. No polls. No multiple choice. I want real answers in the comments. 👇 Answer this ONE question: "Right now, what is the SINGLE biggest thing holding your game back?" It could be technical. It could be physical. It could be mental. It could be consistency. There's no wrong answer here. I'm reading every single reply — and I'll be pulling the most common themes into this week's coaching call so we can go DEEP on what actually matters to you right now. This is your chance to shape the session. Don't scroll past. Drop it below. 👇 — Coach Jessie | Elite Soccer Academy 24
