“What can my child do
to improve?”

That is the NUMBER ONE question I get every year.

The next 4 questions in no particular order are:

What can I do to go from a recreational team to a competitive team?

What do I need to do to make a higher division team?

Why doesn’t my child get more playing time?

Do you know you look like Kenny Loggins or Andrea Pirlo?

Have you asked any of these questions? Sound familiar? I’ve got the answers to them.

Hi! My name is Mark Smith and I have been a competitive soccer coach for 25 plus years.

When parents or kids pose that question to me, I tell them to work on this skill and that weakness, but like most coaches, I’m content with the fact that they are doing ANYTHING at all outside of practice.

I know that they will learn by playing on their own and just spending time with the ball.  However, that does not mean that their progress will be fast or will be focused on the foundational skills that will benefit them as quickly as possible and increase their success and in turn, their confidence.

So, I developed the Smithway Soccer Training Answer
to provide the solution!
