I spent years trying to figure out why my kids would beg to go to games but resist training at home — and "just make it fun" never gave me a real answer.
In this post, I break down the framework that actually worked for me: starting with growth mindset, building a strategy around maximum touches in minimum time, giving real choices instead of false ones, and making training so routine it stops feeling like a decision.
If you're a soccer parent in the trenches trying to figure this out, this one's for you.
