It's Only Kids Football Team talk fails and tournament triumphs
In this conversation, Ben Welch and Mike Clark discuss their experiences and challenges of coaching and managing at summer tournaments.
They talk about the excitement and fun of participating in summer tournaments, the short game durations and the difficulty of balancing winning with giving players enough game time.
They also share their own experiences at various tournaments and the emotions that come with both victories and losses.
The conversation highlights the importance of attitude and behaviour in young players and the frustration that can arise when they are not fully engaged in the game.
They talk about the importance of teaching shape and holding positions, as well as the success they had with a new box formation.
They also express gratitude for the support they've received for their podcast and share shoutouts from other coaches and teams.
The conversation ends with advice on handling substitutions and teaching players to avoid bunching and ball-watching.
