vendredi 11 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:31:34

In this episode of the Player Development Project Podcast, hosts Angelo Sabblah (@PDProjectSoccer) and Johnny Cardello dive into one of youth soccer’s most nuanced debates: Should players be molded to fit a predetermined system, or should the system evolve to match the players available?

How game intensity drives decision-making and competitive habits
The long-term value of training in elite environments
Confidence vs resilience: which matters more?
Tactical reasons behind lineup decisions
