You could become a BETTER soccer parent for just 1% of what you’re already spending on the sport?

Better soccer parents help create better soccer players.

⚽ Speed. Skill. Strategy. A perfect first touch. A cannon for a leg.

Those things take YEARS to develop.

But sometimes, a simple idea, a better strategy, or even 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗 can unlock something in a young player.

And you might see the difference 𝗕𝗬 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬.

For nearly two decades, I’ve collected ideas that help young athletes learn faster, play smarter, and develop confidence.

One of the best things I ever did as a youth soccer coach was make sure my parents were speaking the same language I was.

That’s when real progress happened.

Whether you’re a parent who barely understands the offside rule or a former Division I player who knows the game inside and out but might have forgotten how a 10-year-old brain processes information…

👉 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨.

The entire purpose behind UNLOCKING YOUTH SOCCER is VALUE.

✅ Simple to read.
✅ Easy to understand.
✅ Ideas you can actually use.

Because despite what some coaches might believe, an informed parent can be one of the GREATEST ASSETS in a young athlete’s development.

💰 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘’𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝟭% 𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗔…

Youth sports families invest an estimated $1,721 a year in their kids’ athletic experiences.

I priced this book at $17.21.

𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝟭%.

If even ONE idea helps you become a better soccer parent, imagine what that could mean for your child.

I wrote this one with runners in mind, but you certainly don’t have to be a runner to enjoy a good scare.

If you enjoy it, I’d love to hear what you think. And if you know someone who loves Halloween, horror stories, or running, send it their way!

Happy Halloween!

🏃 WHEN YOUR GARMIN STOPS SHOWING MILEAGE AND STARTS SHOWING “LOST”…

You might want to pick up the pace. 😳🎃

Every Halloween, I love writing a few short stories. This year, I spent a while looking for something genuinely spooky involving runners and eventually decided… heck, I can write that myself!

And I had an absolute blast doing it.

DON’T RUN THE OAKS is my newest Halloween short story, built specifically around running, with a few little Easter eggs tucked inside for those of us who know the sport.

I originally considered publishing it exclusively on Kindle, but I liked this one too much to put it behind a paywall.

So I’m giving it to everybody.

🎃 FREE HALLOWEEN STORY!

About 15 minutes of reading. Enjoy!

And a tiny favor if you enjoy it. My Chad Peters Author page is only 16 followers shy of 1,000! I’d love to have you head over and click FOLLOW. There’s more writing over there, with plenty more coming.

Happy Halloween, and remember… sometimes that noise behind you isn’t another runner. 👀

We spend so much time helping our young athletes reach the next level that sometimes we forget to teach them how to BE at the level they’ve already earned.

A conversation with Coach Marty Smith, a remarkable moment watching Blake Snell, and something my son said after a pretty tough loss this weekend all came together into one of my favorite PPC articles.

Speed, strength, and skills take years to develop. But understanding a concept used by professionals can change how an athlete approaches their very next practice.

This one’s for the athletes, parents, and coaches.

If you aren’t like this when you coach.
If you’re athletes aren’t like this girl when you coach..

Get better-
I don’t care what your sport is, mine is Soccer

Everybody and every kid should get to have a Coach like this at least once in their lives!

Coaches and parents, have you ever caught yourself saying, “Man, I wish we knew this stuff back when I was playing!”?

That’s exactly why I built Precision Performance Concepts.

And here’s something to think about. Your kids will probably be saying the exact same thing about the next generation of athletes.

Sports science is moving incredibly fast. The concepts, training methods, injury management strategies, and performance techniques being used at the highest levels of professional and international sports are constantly evolving.

My goal is to bring that information to everyday coaches, parents, and athletes in a way that actually makes sense.

The same ideas influencing how elite athletes train, recover, move, and perform should be available to the 12-year-old soccer player, the high school coach, and the parent trying to understand what’s best for their kid.

That’s why I built this website, and why I continue to add to it.

Modern sports science. Explained simply. Available to everyone.

And the best part? It’s FREE.

Take a look around. You might find something that completely changes the way you think about training.

Sometimes you just have to lift stuff.
Random objects: rocks, logs, and sometimes stuff just sitting around at work.

Just to check if you’re still strong.

We yell "𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟!" all season long.

But at some point, the realization has to click -your athlete doesn’t have an effort problem.

They have a hesitation problem.

You can see it in their eyes. They know what is coming. They can feel the play developing.

They just can’t quite... 𝗚𝗢.

And that little delay is one of the biggest performance metrics in sports.

We spend a ton of time measuring speed, strength, power, vertical jump, and all the things that are easy to test.

But how quickly can an athlete recognize what is about to happen and act on it?

That hesitation matters more than almost all of the other metrics.

⚽ Here’s a little insight into why kids hesitate in soccer, and one simple way to start fixing it.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 (𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗶𝘅 𝗜𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁)

Why are some kids consistently one step late? This is how to fix it. It’s not speed. It’s hesitation. And most of the time… it’s because they’re waiting their turn in a game that doesn’t have turns…
