The lie we’ve all agreed to tell
We say youth soccer in America is about player development.
But our behavior says something else.
We reward:
• wins
• rankings
• trophies
• college commits at 14
• coach reputations
We don’t reward:
• technical mastery
• decision-making
• tactical intelligence
• learning over time
• or whether players actually improve year to year
So we end up with busy schedules…
expensive programs…
and very little clarity about what children are truly learning.
That’s not development. That’s organized activity.
If you work in this environment, you feel this tension every season.
Tomorrow I’ll explain why the system can’t fix this without structural change.
