Shoutout to my mentor, Coach Anthony Brenner @anthonybrennercoaching.

Some people teach you the game. He taught me how to see it.

So much of what I give my players started with him — his eye, his standard, and how freely he shares what he knows. Players he has never met, up here in North Phoenix and Anthem, Arizona, are getting better every single week because of what he taught me.

Coach — from me, and from a lot of young players up here: thank you.

Dedicated to my mentor, Coach Anthony Brenner @anthonybrennercoaching. His note. His eye. His standard. Episode 001 exists because he watched film and saw what everyone else missed.

BALL'N OFF THE BALL — 001: THE SECOND ACTION

Scouts don't watch your pass. They watch what you do next.

After she passed, she kept moving — same speed, same line, no angle. Easy to track. Elite players explode the moment the ball leaves their foot. New angle. Sometimes 2 yards is all the separation you need.

The pass is the trigger. Explode, don't drift. Change the angle.

Study Modrić.

DM "DEVELOP" to train.

One of the best things we can give our kids is confidence they can learn something they find difficult.

Grateful to Coach Anthony for helping both of us see it differently. If your kid is struggling with their shot, check out his page. ⚽️

Most parents want two things when their kid joins a team. They want them to get better, and they’d probably like to win some games too. Nothing wrong with either one. The mistake is thinking the scoreboard is where coaches should spend most of their attention.

I also share conversations like this on my podcast and in my free newsletter for parents and volunteer coaches. Comment PODCAST to access my Uncoached podcast or HUDDLE for the newsletter.

Here’s what experienced coaches eventually figure out:

1. Focus on the invisible stuff.
Culture, trust, communication, confidence, effort. You can’t always see those things on a stat sheet, but they influence almost everything that happens during a game.

2. Keep your ego out of the way.
It’s easy for coaches to start chasing results because we want to prove something too. Good coaching means checking yourself and remembering whose experience this actually is.

3. Be present with the kid in front of you.
Not every athlete needs the same thing. Sometimes development starts with understanding the player before worrying about the next drill or result.

4. Trust the daily work.
If you consistently create the right environment, teach well, and hold good standards, winning often has a way of showing up as a byproduct.

The athletes who keep growing are usually getting something more than physical development. They’re learning how to handle pressure, frustration, confidence, relationships, and everything happening between the ears.

I also share conversations like this on my podcast and in my free newsletter for parents and volunteer coaches. Comment PODCAST to access my Uncoached podcast or HUDDLE for the newsletter.

Here’s what coaches need to think about:

1. Coach the person behind the player.
Before there’s a striker, pitcher, goalie, or point guard, there’s a kid. Understanding who they are, what motivates them, and how they respond to pressure helps you coach them better.

2. The mental side can separate athletes.
At higher levels, everyone has skill. The ability to stay composed, handle failure, communicate, and keep competing when things get hard can become a huge difference-maker.

3. Environment matters.
Good athletes don’t develop in a vacuum. The culture around them matters. Kids need a place where they can be challenged, make mistakes, ask questions, and still feel supported.

4. Coaches need more than drills.
Knowing how to run practice is important. Knowing how to handle emotions, confidence issues, frustration, and different personalities is coaching too.

The number 1 difference between good players and the ones who keep moving up.

Skill matters. Athleticism matters. Work ethic matters. But at higher levels, the mental and emotional side starts to matter just as much as what athletes can physically do.

I also share conversations like this on my podcast and in my free newsletter for parents and volunteer coaches. Comment PODCAST to access my Uncoached podcast or HUDDLE for the newsletter.

Here’s what separates a lot of athletes:

1. They take the mental side seriously

The players who keep progressing are often the ones who understand that confidence, focus, composure, and self-awareness are skills too.

2. They know what triggers them

What happens after a mistake? What frustrates them? What causes them to shut down? The more athletes understand those moments, the better they can respond to them.

3. They work on the response

Mental performance is not just positive thinking. It’s learning how to reset, manage emotion, stay focused, and keep competing when the game gets uncomfortable.

4. Winning still matters, but it can’t be everything

Wanting to win is not a bad thing. But if winning becomes the only goal, we can miss the bigger work of building technically strong, mentally resilient athletes.
