You might not think you can learn much from a soccer guy. We're football coaches.

Once you listen to my interview with Coach John O'Sullivan today, you'll realize you were wrong. There's a lot to learn.\xa0

Of course, John O'Sullivan is much more than a soccer coach. John's website at Changing The Game Project website will tell you that quickly.

He is a best selling author and speaker on how coaches and parents can make our sport - any sport - a great experience for the people that matter.

Who matters? The players, of course.\xa0

We lose sight of that. Adults ruin everything.\xa0

I met John about a year ago. He has studied the single topic that matters the most. How to get your players to perform their best.\xa0

Schemes don't matter. X's and O's don't matter. Not when your kids are not giving their all. Not when they don't love to play the game.\xa0

That's what John is all about.\xa0

In the interview we talk about some really important topics including...

\n
• How to keep your players from jumping to other sports instead of football
\n
• How to give your kids more confidence in their ability
\n
• How to coach when you have lots of kids on different ability levels
\n
• How to build your program so that parents aren't the problem\xa0
\n

You'll never eliminate all of the problems, of course. Humans do not allow for problem-free environments.\xa0

But you can take some serious steps to eliminate the issues.

In this episode, we also talk about the upcoming conference on changing your team's culture, July 8-10, 2016 in Boulder, CO. Click here for more information
