Engaging & Easy to Follow

Whether you’re stepping onto the pitch for the first time or refining your coaching approach, this book provides clear, actionable strategies. Highly recommended for parents, new coaches, and anyone passionate about youth soccer development!

Full of tools and strategies for success

My goodness from setting players, coaches and parents for success on and off the field, this audiobook covers everything from bonding, drills, managing parents, etc. Can be used as a tool to listen, implement, and re-listen for success.

Must have for a Parent or those Coaching Youth

As a sports performance Coach, I’m always looking for resources to better support young athletes, and this audiobook delivered. It provides a solid foundation for understanding early-stage player development, emphasizing growth over just winning, which I learned at a young age too and carried with me even through playing in College. I really liked how it breaks down key concepts in a way that’s practical and easy to apply in training sessions; these were particularly insightful now as a trainer because I am constantly working on ways to counter-balance repetitive movements and anti-rotation to build a more complete athlete. The insights on working with parents and managing team dynamics were especially valuable - the Coach:Parent relationship has become so delicate over time now, the insights here give you a springboard to focus on the athlete's progress and growth as a common goal. The narration kept things engaging, making it an easy listen. If you’re coaching young players, this is a great tool to add to your arsenal. I would definitely recommend this book.

A great guide

This is a great listen for new soccer coaches and parents looking to coach youth soccer, or for people who are looking to refine their approach. It teaches you how to create a supportive environment and instill mental toughness in the players and also gives practical advice for drills and rules as well so its not just entirely about mindset or the technical of the game, its both.

super helpful

So glad I found this. The author really knows his stuff but doesn’t overcomplicate things. It’s straight to the point, no fluff. Just solid advice that actually makes sense. I’ve read (well, listened to) a bunch of soccer books, and a lot of them just ramble, but this one? Practical tips I could use right away. Narration was easy to follow too, which made it even better. If you’re serious about improving your game, this is worth a listen.

Must-Have Resource

game-changer for any parent or coach navigating youth soccer I found this book incredibly approachable, filled with practical tips that make training sessions fun, educational, and effective.

Confidence for New Coaches

As a parent stepping into coaching for the first time, The Soccer Success Playbook provided exactly what I needed—clear, practical guidance and confidence. The simple drills and structured sessions enabled me to create engaging practices that kept young players excited while they learned. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on balancing fun with development, which shifted my mindset from solely focusing on winning. The insights into mental toughness and parental involvement were enlightening, making me a better coach and supporter of my child’s soccer journey. A must-listen for any new coach or soccer parent!

So helpful

This book gave me a lot of ideas and I'm 100% sure it has made me a better coach. It is difficult to keep younger kids engaged.
