Season 2 Episode 11  In this episode, I chat with Steve Rollins, who currently runs a supplemental training program for local high level youth players in he Princeton, NJ area.  Steve has a rich history in coaching and coaching education following his playing/coaching days in Europe. Steve shares a great perspective on the differences in expectations in Europe and the U.S. for players, coaches, and clubs.  He also speaks about the realities and characteristics of a true "elite" player. Steve is looking to buy a select soccer club and to instill his philosophy of creating the best youth soccer players in the U.S.  The goal of Steve's will be for the club to be run similar to the European academies ... with the club paying for majority, if not all, the costs.   His current supplemental training is the first step to making this dream a reality, with the trainings being completely FREE!  Steve is a big proponent of passing it forward ... he shares how others have made a positive impact on him (including Todd Beane) as player/coach and he plans to do the same for others. Lots of great nuggets in this chat!  Thanks for listening! Connect with Steve on Twitter @softtop67 Follow #CoachesCornerChats on Twitter @coachesletschat SHARE THE PODCAST!  THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
