"How can I get more playing time?"

All youth coaches have heard that question from a young athlete.

Jason Carney thinks that's a sign of a coach's failure to do his or her most important job - develop the kid's character.

From his youth in Bolton, UK, watching the great Liverpool teams of the 70s & 80s, to Portland, OR, Jason has strong opinions on how to make youth soccer better. Put character first. Make it joyful.

Spend a few minutes with the KidFirst Sports podcast and feel Jason's infectious love of the kids and the beautiful game.
