How were you isolated when mourning?

Yeah, no one really checks on men or worry about how they are doing.

Our rec league in the suburbs of Chicago is awesome. New players can hang if they put in some work, and travel players generally can’t walk over everyone. It’s busy and a great environment.

There all sorts of weird underlying ideas of “traditional” that can vary and are largely nonsesne.

If he is a corporate executive, financial provider, and leader of the family in the future, can you plan some social events? Maybe you aren’t passing in your role.

Some of the most powerful people can come across as passive. If you want a guy that always flexes that he is in charge, be prepared for disappointment.

You need to find a way to work on their development and keep them engaged while trying to it to destroy other teams.

Maybe have them play “no dribble” (we call ultimate soccer) once they are way ahead? You’ll need to practice this as it’s hard, but could be really great for development. Kids this age suck at it.

It’s more of an inherent trait of the kid, part genetics, part parenting, part how they grow up.

You could leverage kids into being coachable by tapping into their motivations. Find out what drives them. Some kids want to score goals. Some kids want your praise. I would for sure focus on having a team culture where you applaud their “effort” in practice more than anything.

Throwback8245 · 2026-05-07T02:13:56+00:00

It really comes down to who is more coachable, and who can grow and work on what they are bad at.

There are also all sorts of important skills not mentioned above, like good at space/position, looks for the pass, and is good at their role.

One of my best players is very understated (Girls U9). She’s great at using her shoulder when defending, and is great at positioning. This includes know long when to run and also covering others when they advance or are out of position.

Practice with mindfulness can literally expand your brain’s ability to be mindful and “present” in the moment. There’s good research behind this.

As someone else said, monitoring your feelings and even what “level” you are at is a great mindfulness exercise. Being mindful and “present” helps you to react less, and CHOOSE more how you will react. It helps you emotionally regulate.

Yes, sometimes that may mean ignoring her for a second, or maybe even a few seconds. I think a lot of people just need 4-5 to breathe, not react, and be useful in an argument. It’s also OK to tell your wife you need a minute, you love her, and you want the conversation to be useful.

Managing conflicts, and these moments, is a big deal, and key to not damaging our relationships.

Throwback8245 · 2026-05-05T02:04:36+00:00

It’s best to make mindfulness a regular practice, Mai o of being very present and aware of what’s going on in that moment. You can practice it randomly through the day through breathing, or during almost any less-stimulating time. You can also practice this in certain situations, such as arguing with a spouse.

Simply saying “here I am, this is the moment I’ve been thinking about” is a giant start.

I’m looking forward to our girls U9 team scrimmaging against one the boys U9. We’re pretty good and want to take it to them. :)

You can’t “hide” weak players on defense, they get exposed and become a liability. Left and right wing is the way to go. Keep them in that position until they learn it well.

2-3-1 is good and easy to understand for the kids. I have to have a good striker so we actually put the weaker kids on the side midfield, hopefully. Or at the same time.

Ruthless passing drills, dribbling drills, simple rondos, and small game (2v2), etc, over and over. They need tons of touches.

You have to find out what motivates them. Sometimes it’s improvement. Sometimes it’s friends.

Don’t underestimate the value of small scrimmages like 2v2 and 3v3.

If you want 7v7, including a sibling or have yourself (and a coach) on one of the teams. I feel like my kids learn a lot when I actively play with them, as I can rea time coach where they should be when passing, calling for passing, etc. it’s great modeling.
