Simple is good. Simple beats complicated. Simple beats new-fangled. Simple works! It's why you so often hear CEOs of multinational companies explain why they're selling all the companies they recently bought and getting back to basics... describing their "new" strategy as, "getting back to basic blocking and tackling". Because when their business was "simple" they were successful. But once they implemented their "new" systems to manage the multitude of acquisitions, suddenly their business was no longer "simple" and no longer profitable. Unfortunately, a "simple" business is not as sexy as "bleeding edge" or "synergies" so everyone tries to move away from their "simple" business and into the realm of the "sexy" business. Only to discover that "simple" works and "sexy" loses money. Like owning a Camry but wanting a Lamborghini. One gets y...

Flip a perfectly weighted coin and the odds are 50/50 that it's going to land on heads with the exact same odds for tails. But flip the coin 10 times and it's almost never going to land 5 times on heads and 5 times on tails. But... and this is the "big" but"... flip the coin long enough and the results will catch up with the odds and eventually you'll find the coin does indeed land on heads 50% of the time. That's just the nature of statistics. You can run from statistics but you can't hide forever. Eventually they always catch up with you and bring the results based upon the statistical probability. You see this in sports all the time. Good teams out-play bad teams and still lose. Bad teams catch a lucky bounce and win games they never deserved to win. But over the course of a long season, and more so over multiple seasons, the teams that "play the odds", that do things right repeatedly are the teams that achieve long term ...

It's a simple concept yet many people forget the most important part of sales. Every time I sit in my boat, I can't help but think of the similarities between successful sales people and fishing. Let me quickly explain. There's an old adage in the fishing world that always reminds me of the way so many people treat their sales process and it was clearly demonstrated this last weekend while on our final fishing trip of the year. Our "sales process" is fairly simple. We paddle our kayaks down the river a short way from the small dam and then drift downstream while casting our hook, worm and slip bobbers into the fallen tree cover where the fish like to hide. By dropping these tasty morsels right in front of the fish, we fill our live baskets with the daily limit each day, eat the freshest fish possible while camping and still manage to bring home a load of filets for future meals. This process works really well but the trouble is with the worms we use. ...

The US Men’s team just missed the cut for the World Cup for the first time in 4 decades… I think it’s safe to say that being disappointed is an understatement. But I’m not sure if we’re supposed to feel better that we made it for the last 4 decades or if pointing this out is a way to further illustrate what a disaster this is for the US men’s team? The most amazing part is that we still lose to countries that have fewer residents in total than we have kids playing soccer in the US. Costa Rica? Trinidad & Tobago? In what other major team sports are they even allowed in the same venue much less toppling the hopes and dreams of a US team from competing on the world stage? But is this really surprising? When you really look at soccer programs and compare them to other sports in the USA where we've dominated year after year, it’s obvious that soccer is light years behind technologically. When “hi-tech” soccer training is defined by having multi-colored plastic cones ...

Well… you know the truth. I don’t actually outrun the lion; I just make sure there’s at least one person with me that I can outrun so I don't need to be faster than the lion. And when it comes to soccer players, I don't need to be a better player, a faster player or a smarter player on game day. All I need to do is record video of the game and use a product like SocrPro to analyze and break down the game afterwards to discover the truth of what happened during the game. Taking this step back from the real-time excitement and distraction of the game allows me to analyze the game and see the way things truly happened versus the way I “thought” it happened while I was watching the game in person. To be able to pause the action, play it back in frame-by-frame slow motion, and scan the entire play area moves the game into a whole new light and makes me far smarter than anybody else watching the game in real-time. Now certainly, when we both have the opportunity to vie...

This isn't a heroic story about a single player overcoming enormous odds to make it into the Premier League. Nor is this a story of the underdog that persevered for years, toiling in the shadows of bigger, faster, stronger players before finally getting his chance to show the world he exists. It’s really a story of the vast majority of youth soccer players and how they learn to play the game. But before I get to soccer, let’s talk about a good old fashioned street fight. At some point in time, you’ve either been in a fight or witnessed a schoolyard fight and there’s one thing that happens in almost every street fight; both participants use only their right hand to strike the other person. Whether they’re fighting standing up or wrestling on the ground, they still use their right hand to hit the other person. When kids are taught to box, the 1st thing they’re taught is to use both hands. To throw punches in combinations of left, right, left or right, left, right. ...

With the performance of the USMNT converting the players into World Cup spectators, it's been a common mantra that US Soccer needs to "come together" to solve the lagging performance problem and create a powerful development system. But is this really what we need? If we're going to "come together" as a group, who should we "come together" around? Will we look to the mothership of US Soccer to provide the guiding light or should we circle the wagons around a German, Spanish or Brazilian program? Or maybe put the women's team in charge since they've proven they can win on the world stage... so many options to choose from. But I think any "single" program we choose will ultimately fail. It reminds me of the old story of the semi-truck that drove under the bridge too low for the trailer to clear and got stuck. While everyone was "coming together" pulling the truck from the front and pushing the truck from the ...
