30-Minute Guide to Coaching Youth Soccer is exactly what the title promises: the essential, unvarnished, deeply practical primer for anyone thrust—willingly or otherwise—into the chaotic, beautiful world of coaching kids’ soccer. Whether you're a parent wrangled into the role, a teacher doing double-duty, or a sports veteran adjusting to the unpredictable logic of under-10s, this book gives you what you actually need. No fluff. No empty platitudes. Just direct, field-tested advice.

In thirty densely packed minutes (give or take), you'll get a crash course in how to run a practice that doesn’t suck, what to say to parents who want their 7-year-old to “go pro,” how to teach actual skills without turning your sessions into boot camp, and how to coach the child in front of you—not your fantasy of who they should be.

You'll learn how to manage game day like a rational adult, handle meltdowns like a Buddhist monk, and build a team culture that kids will remember long after they’ve forgotten the final scores. You'll also get a hard look at your own habits and motives as a coach—and come away better for it.

Written with seasoned candor, zero tolerance for nonsense, and deep respect for both the sport and the young humans playing it, this book is your fast-track to not just surviving as a youth coach—but making it matter.
