re: Program suggestions for a naturally gifted toddler?

Don’t sit there and kick the ball back and forth. He should dribble. Dribble a lot. No need to pass at this age. It’s about the ball at his feet and manipulation with both feet.

If you hear a parent yelling to pass at a game look at your kid and point to that parent having already had the convo that the ones you point to are the idiots.

When he’s about 6/7 foster him playing pickup with other kids with no parents/coaches. Drop him off to play while you go for a jog or hit your 58* or talk to Jaxson’s mom.

Try to teach courage in attacking defenders and why he should win the ball back immediately when he loses it.
