    Let Them Play, The Joystick Coaching Trap
    Jul 11 2025

    Welcome to the premiere episode of Off the Beaten Pitch, the podcast that dives into the heart of grassroots soccer in rural America. In this debut episode, hosts Coach Alex and Coach Alan tackle one of the biggest development killers in youth soccer: joystick coaching—when coaches (or even parents) try to control every move a young player makes from the sidelines.

    We break down what joystick coaching looks like, why it’s so common in rural environments, and how it holds back creativity, decision-making, and love for the game. You’ll hear personal stories from the grassroots trenches, insights from coaching experts, and practical ways to shift from control to empowerment.

    Plus, we dig into the role of well-meaning but overbearing parents and how to reframe sideline behavior for long-term player growth.
