Your Child's Soccer Dream is to Play FIFA World Cup Football? Soccer Parents. Don't Do This.
<p><strong><u>Thank you World Cup. Your Kid now wants to play for Australia. Here's what a Parent should definitely NOT do.</u></strong></p><p> </p><p>So you're getting up at ungodly hours to watch the telly, you are planning the next family holiday to Cape Verde and your kid wants to play for Australia.</p><p>whilst some families have nicked off for their Euro Summer or poor mans Ibiza at Port Douglas, you're looking forward top soaking multiple kits in Napisan to try and get the mud out.</p><p> </p><p>But that's all ok. Because your kids have a passion, and the passion happens to be soccer. And you want to do the right thing for them, yes? Support them and help them achieve their dreams. But how involved should you actually get in their soccer club lives beyond providing lolly snakes and watermelon for the half time snacks when it’s your turn for on the roster, and giving good notice if you can’t turn up for Marshalling.</p><p> </p><p>But what happens when they aren't getting minutes on the pitch; despite training however many times a week they are still getting splinters in their butt on match day in the Sub's vest. Or they are picked to play in the 'wrong' position? Or feel targeted by the Coach for [ insert here] missing training for a school excursion/going to Grandmas funeral/ getting stuck in peak hour traffic. They are getting dropped for WHAT? What do you do then?</p><p> </p><p><strong>Tim Schleiger</strong>, Brisbane Roars newly appointed Head of Performance for the technical staff , is not one to pussyfoot around. He's the guy who , during his strength and conditioning stint in the EPL, went up to visit Ange Postecoglou at Celtic where he met up with Sir Rod Stewart and engaged in a little repartee. Sir Rod was accompanied by a couple of beautiful - so Schleigs regales - absolutely beautiful looking boys, dressed to a tee.</p><p>" Is that your son or your grandson?" Schleiger asked, his version of polite conversation. ‘He’s my son’, retorted Stewart. I’m a fucking Rock star, Mate. I’ve got kids everywhere".</p><p> </p><p>Tim’s seen it, he’s done it, and if he hasn't, he's a bridge to it, somewhere somehow. And in his role developing young elite players , Tim Schleiger has met all sorts of parents. Dammit. He's one himself. In fact he is frequently asked by State football bodies to deliver a pseudo induction speech for parents and carers whose kids are entering elite development programs. What does he cover? You'll have to listen to the podcast. This episode of <strong>Red Card For Mummy </strong>is called Rod Stewart, Soft Kids and Annoying Parents. You don't need Tim Cahill to entice you to place bets that some home truths are contained within. There’s a time in football for tough love and there’s a time in parenting for tough talk.</p><p>So this episode of <strong>Red Card for Mummy</strong> , it’s tough talk from Tim, delivered with love.</p><p>You love your kids. They are fired up to play for Australia. You don’t want to stuff it up for them, OK? </p><p> </p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Junior Matilda's Coach Mike Cooper: How to Grow an Australian Woman Footballer.
<p><strong>The Price of Entry.</strong> I love this phrase. It fits for anything you really have to try for , if you really want to achieve and is the key nugget of wisdom<strong> from my chat with Junior Matildas Coach, Mike Cooper for the latest episode of Red Card For Mummy.</strong></p><br><p>There's a price of entry for all players if you want to be good. If you want to be elite, the price is higher. Who knows, when you get in, you may come home with a door prize.</p><br><p>So as Australia celebrates her soccer gene as the World Cup kicks off and our Instagram reels are swamped by gyrating Ugandan Kids, Tim Payne and Norwegian Vikings pulling imaginary oars, I can't help but reflect on the effort it takes to get there. To a World Cup , that is. For players. For parents. For Everyone. The Price of Entry.</p><br><p>Nothing in the world of football is certain, except that everyone is just one ACL injury away from wanting an exercise bike for Christmas.</p><br><p>But there are some things in sport that are true. On the point of that ACL. It mightn’t be that, but you will get injured. You will have to do the rehab. That’s if you want to make a comeback. An injury is not a shame or an aberration or an unexpected shock. It is the part of the price of entry. As is forgoing social life, getting up at sparrows fart, and eating so many bananas you would swing from the trees if your arms weren't so sore from gym.</p><br><p>One would normally expect this to apply to Ronaldo or Neymar or Sam Kerr or Mary Fowler or any of the superstars who have hairstyles the kids drag us to the hairdresser to copy. But this could be your life too. Whether you have hopes and dreams for yourself, or your kid has found themselves on an elite pathway and it’s your role to facilitate each step without really knowing where it's all heading. </p><p>You may be paying your own price of entry, for them. Like learning to work from your car. or forgetting your partner's name.</p><br><p>This episode of Red Card For Mummy was recorded in Suzhou China, at the Under 17 Women’s Asia Cup. Coach Mike Cooper is the custodian of Junior Matildas in the Matildas pillar of Junior, Young under 23 women and senior Matildas squads. Via this Asia Cup, Mike will take the Junior Matildas to their first ever Under 17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco this November. The Joeys will play the Men’s under 17 World Cup in Qatar in November. The Big Matildas take on the world in Brazil, next year. Tell everyone.</p><br><p>Mike takes us inside the Junior Matildas Asia Cup camp. Here, they grow players for the future. Joe Montemurro is all over it, as he would be. The investment is for him. Everything here is to prepare the girls for the next step in their Matildas journey. If any of them make the cut.</p><br><p>So who are these coaches moulding the next generation of footballing youth, in a country still establishing its football culture as a potent force? For those of us who didn’t grow up with the game, how does it work? What does it take? and most importantly, what's the strategy?</p><p>This podcast is the first in a series from Red card For Mummy about growing champions, from grassroots to the globe Insiders will tell you what’s going on. The do's and the don'ts. The universal truths. So beware. Difficult truths may arise.</p><br><p>Bottom line, it's about mindset. The mindset of the players, the officials, the coaches the families. When you have to stare effort in the face. When consistency begs for a sickie, when resilience is so hard you can barely spell it. It gets hard for everyone, but the experience is beyond contemplation.</p><br><p>Join me for Red card For Mummy and Junior Matildas Coach Mike Cooper. If you've ever wanted to be better, it could be the price of entry.</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The OFC Pro League: Meet Philip Mango : Solomon Islands Football King on Red Card For Mummy
<p>Philip Mango, Captain and Goal keeper of the brand spanking new Solomon Island Kings, is everything about diplomacy that football sets out to be.

In this deeply religious country that boasts an economy still largely based on fishing and farming just enough for the nations own use, Philip Mango at 30 is now one of the new breed of leaders learning management, mindset and physical empowerment through football; taking it back into the community in one of the worlds least developed nations. </p><br><p>The Solomon Island Kings are the countries first ever professional club, created by the national government, the Solomon Islands Football Federation, and Australian club Wynnum Wolves. Never in his wildest dreams did Philip mango expect that he would be able to create a prodessional pathway in sport. beyond his pkaying and his capatincy, he has now been appointed as an educator for the OFC GK C License Course.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
