The players in training should be the players in games; clubs shouldn't be able to bring in talent for game days only. Catch every Breaking the Line episode on the official ECNL YouTube Channel.

If the game is the best teacher, then playing time is vital to development. Therefore, substitution rules shouldn't limit who has the opportunity to grow their game. 📺: youtu.be/nEnm4uOa6SM 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

When it comes to younger age groups, it's best to give teams a varity of competition levels, to challenge them, give them confidence, and to measure their skill set. Too many loses (or too many wins) can be detrimental. 📺: youtu.be/Mu_bsJdMfac 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

What's better for development; smaller-sided games or moving to full-sized games sooner? Following the ECNL International IberCup, we now have the answer. 📺: youtu.be/Mu_bsJdMfac 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

Challenges foster development. When you take the familiar and make it unfamiliar, it forces players to think and to solve problems, making them better athletes. 📺: youtu.be/Mu_bsJdMfac 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

Deciding if a club is working for you or if you should leave a club can be extremely stressful. Breaking the Line created a test to hopefully make that decision making process a bit easier. 📺: youtu.be/HcooLtUSJNs 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

ECNL President Christian Lavers joined Glenn Crooks on The Coaching Academy for an insightful conversation on coaching and the game on SiriusXM Ch. 188. Listen: ecnl.info/glenn-crooks 📺 youtu.be/X7ES9Ac0EFE 🎧 buzzsprout.com/2325804/episo…

What’s your reaction to losing? Is it we need to get better, or we need to get better players? Your answer tells you a lot about your club priorities. 📺: youtu.be/HcooLtUSJNs 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

Sometimes it seems like the grass is greener in the other side, but before making a move, don’t forget to examine if where you’re at is meeting your initial expectations. 📺: youtu.be/HcooLtUSJNs 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

The ECNL Heritage Project has connected ECNL players to 50+ international soccer federations, and through those contacts, players have been provided national team training or competition opportunities 250+ times for 45+ international federations. 📰: ecnl.info/heritage-project-m…

There's a difference between words of encouragement and joysticking your athlete when on the sidelines. While both are done with good intentions, sometimes it can actually make the game harder for kids. 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast 📺: youtu.be/BlyiG3lVetY

As a club, best practices for coaches is setting them up for success. Give part-time coaches tools & session plans. Allow full-time coaches to collaborate with each other. Don't saddle them with unnecessary stress/tasks. 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast 📺: youtu.be/BlyiG3lVetY

Clubs must consider every player as an individual. Every player has a different story, different background, and understanding those different factors allows clubs and coaches to get the best out of those athletes. 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast 📺: youtu.be/BlyiG3lVetY
