Coach Dave Gleason | Soccer Confidence

Helping club soccer parents rebuild confidence without adding more pressure.

Your player used to ask for the ball. Now they hesitate, play safe, fear mistakes, or say things like, “I’m just not good.”

I’m Coach Dave Gleason. For 35 years, I’ve coached young athletes and worked with families through the emotional side of youth soccer.

Here you’ll learn what to say after a bad game, how to handle the car ride home, how to respond to fear of mistakes, benching, pressure and burnout, and how to help your player feel safe enough to play brave again.
