Happy New Year Soccer Family

The Soccer Specialist
About this episode

Wow.  2024.  Really?

 It's gone so fast that it took me a minute to figure out why Baby New Year 2024 stopped by earlier to chat about all things youth soccer (she's a big fan).

 I asked Baby New (I call her Baby New - we're ride or die) how she felt about all the memes, motivational quotes, and sayings out there this time of year.

 People are excited.

 I told her she may be the most popular baby new year EVER!  Til next year of course, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

 Parents and players can't wait to get back out on the pitch!

 She didn't seem all that excited though.

 It turns out she's stressed out about all the pressure. 

 I asked what she meant and she said everyone always expects the new year to be magically different and better than the previous one.

 Then she dropped the bombshell. 

 She said it's not going to be different.

 WHAT?!  No one wants to hear THAT!

 Thankfully, she clarified.  Hit play and let's talk about it!
