This was great. I really like what Todd is doing and the clarity with which he speaks. His academy looks verrry interesting :)

This was a great episode! Two very good perspectives on the US and how to try and help it on. A huge problem in the US is life.....children won't improve by playing 2/3 hours a week. We played for 30 hours a week in Ireland growing up and we all just played rec soccer (or not at all). I don't fully endorse the 10,000-hour rule but even as a benchmark, it would take US kids playing 2-3 a week, 60 years to get em in

Super intelligent. It’s so interesting he speaks about architecture which utilizes solid/void relationships and elements to define space, boundaries, and envelopes - similar to football.😎

Todd I have never disagreed on decision making in an ideal world when kids practice on their own and are technically good like in other countries yes. I grew up in the Netherlands and played 6 years at Ajax with Jordi Cruyff I remember playing in the summer I think I played 6-8 hrs of soccer a day! How many hours in this culture are kids playing organically ? I asked our staff in our club one day there were hundreds of kids training out at our complex. How many players out here do you think are training on their own ? There has to be a balance and yes you need to also train isolated technique in practice that percentage should be based on the quality of players. You just don’t throw a kid in the water that doesn’t have the technique to just swim ! Kindergarten kids don’t learn algebra. Progress technique and progress decision making. Having studied many top academies many have Coerver at all ages less at older. I think Johan Cruyff was on to something talking about specified training. I know the Ajax academy has Coerver and they have all the top kids👍🏽

Agree. It’s as if baseball players didn’t practice catching or basketball players working on their shooting technique.
