Ask for guidance on this from other coaches and peers, don’t let just your opinion take the lead.  Once you have determined that the team and ability level is correct for your child, you now must give them confidence.

Remind your player of his or her strengths by getting them to tell you what they are good at.

• Display these strengths within your professional soccer showcase
• Take each play as a single play, succeed or not, it will be in their best interests to quickly forget about that play and move to the next one.
• Being able to focus on one play at a time during the session will help them stay in a performance-focused mindset.

Players who can stay focused on their performance throughout the entire session — and not react to each and every outcome of every play — will have a better chance of success.
