Thank you for this course! I'm not a hostile parent but I learned that I am definitely a distracting parent! I really appreciate all this info and I am going to work hard to give my son more space to play and concentrate. I'm looking forward to putting this information into practice.

I just discovered your website when I was surfing YouTube and came across your interviews with Sarah Kate Noftsinger. I want to thank you for creating this forum where parents can access good advice for helping our kids play the beautiful game. In the past, I had been checking out all the soccer forums which tend to be more gossip and rival smack posting than actual good advice. I just watched all of your interviews and feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I especially enjoyed the interviews with Sam Snow. He has such a gentle demeanor that he puts us at ease as he discusses some pretty big issues impacting youth soccer.

After over 20 years in other sports, I can say that what you are doing is the single most important and the single most needed effort that I have seen in soccer.
