I've coached youth soccer for six seasons, and I notice parents yelling at referees from the sidelines about offside calls they barely understand. Last week, a dad argued for five minutes that a goal should count because the keeper was still moving when the penalty was taken. So I'm wondering—does the obsession with winning at youth level actually ruin the development of basic skills like passing and spatial awareness in kids under 12? I've seen talented players quit because the coach only played the fastest kids up front. Should winning really be the primary goal when the players are still learning how to kick a ball properly?
