Brazilian Kids Coach Rant

Let them play!

Hey everyone,

Here’s a message from a kids coach in Brazil. 🇧🇷 

It’s the country we know and love for playing with freedom and beauty.

But kids can be over-coached. 

And it can have a negative impact. (Sound familiar?!)

He’s saying that to let them learn and develop you have to...

Let them play

Let them make mistakes

Let them solve problems on the pitch.

We love these wise words. Thanks Coach!

Big fan of this approach that explains the why as well as the how.
