In this episode of the Player Development Project podcast, Angelo Sabblah and Johnny Cardello tackle one of youth soccer’s most complex and controversial topics: the balance between game time and the training environment.
Is it better for a player to get consistent minutes in matches, even at a lower level — or to train daily in a challenging, high-performance environment with limited game time?
Together, Angelo and Johnny explore:
How game intensity drives decision-making and competitive habits
The long-term value of training in elite environments
Confidence vs resilience: which matters more?
Tactical reasons behind lineup decisions
How coaches can collaborate to support players
The importance of player mentality, work ethic, and parental support
This episode is a must-listen for coaches, parents, and players navigating development pathways in youth soccer.
🎧 Tune in and ask yourself: What minutes are more important, game minutes or training minutes in the right environment?
