An important reminder for parents, coaches, and players.
Breathe!
Development is not a straight line from A to Z.
Development is messy, to begin with, and then you add kids to the mix with everything that entails.
Obstacles, setbacks, adversity, socialization, puberty, teammate issues, etc.
Professionals have bad games and subpar seasons (look at any HOFers career stats and you will find very down years).
It's not a straight line in any way, shape, or form. There will be setbacks all the time.
Sometimes it's not even 2 steps forward and 1 back but 1 forward and 3 back.
There are plateaus and there are breakthroughs.
There are really, really bad games and really, really good ones.
There is seemingly no progress and then a big jump forward.
The player that gives hard work, hard work, and more hard work, but is seemingly at a development plateau, and then BAM! Yes, BAM! A big leap forward because it clicked!
Stop judging players and teams with a short-term perspective of game to game or even from the beginning of a season until the end.
A lot is going on underneath, like the proverbial calm duck on the water.
The team you leave that seems "really bad" and "can't possibly be developing my child" may be "ranked top 10" in three years.
That bad player you want off your team because they are the reason you lose? Might be better than your kid when it's all said and done.
Development is a career-long journey, not a game-to-game process. Take a breath. It'll be okay.
There are never any guarantees, only opportunities to increase the chance of success.

Week 1 of SoCal State Cup has come to a close.
Our teams competed well, against some very good competition (That's why it's a state tournament). The teams will get back to practice this week to work on items that didn't go well and strengthen the area that did. They will prep for their next games this weekend to play in San Diego, Temecula, or Norco.
Good Luck Empire SC

November is around the corner, leagues are coming to an end but, our club activities and events are in full force and just getting started.
Our Whole Empire family:
Join us Nov 6, for a "Sunday brunch" of soccer, as we support our SoCal NPL Discovery team; the G2006 as they play the NPL G2006 Pats @ Eastvale Community Park 8:00am start time.
Club coaches, players and parents: Get prepared for our College education night for our HS age players (2008-2006) via ZOOM. This will be the introductory and 1st phase of the college process for some and will be the "next phase" for others. We will have a few of these. This is Part 1 of 3 in the series. Individual team workshops will also be available.
... and get ready for another Club-wide training as we tackle Freekicks/Set plays/Corner kicks/PKs and our 2014/2013s work on "Going to goal" with shooting, combo play, small sided games, and competitions.
It's a busy month!!
