Meet the Young Soccer Whisperer !
A young boy learns how his mind creates confidence!
A young boy grew up during a time in America when nobody played soccer. In the area where he lived, everyone played either baseball or football. He was the only one who owned a soccer ball, and to him it felt like playing soccer was almost against the law. People would give him unpleasant looks whenever he had his soccer ball.
For some strange reason, most people didn’t like seeing him with the soccer ball. They would often tell him to leave whenever he brought it out. They never asked nicely and would usually end up screaming at him to go. The soccer ball brought a lot of bad attention.
To avoid all the hostility, he stayed in his yard with his soccer ball. Since he didn’t have anyone to play with, he taught himself to juggle. He juggled the ball for hours and eventually became a master at it.
There were even a few who actually wanted to get the ball and destroy it. Out of nowhere, a chase would break out. Ironically, while they were chasing him, he was learning how to dribble. He did everything he could to keep them from getting the ball.
Young Whisperer makes an impact at school
In fourth grade, a British substitute teacher shocked the boys by telling them they would be playing soccer during recess. The boys immediately protested: “But we don’t play soccer. We don’t know how to play soccer, so we don’t want to play.” The teacher just smiled and said, “It’s easy. All you have to do is put the ball through the goal. It will be fun. Everyone around the world plays soccer, so we should too.”
The boy had never learned the rules of soccer. This was the first time anyone had ever explained how the game worked. As he watched his classmates play, he noticed that none of them really knew how to kick the ball either. But they were having fun chasing it and trying to kick it. He also saw that no one came close to scoring a goal, yet they all laughed at how the ball never went where they wanted it to go. He decided that it was more fun dribbling the ball all over the field than scoring a goal.
To the boy, there was no real difference between being chased by the fourth‑grade boys at school and being chased around his neighborhood. Everyone was frustrated that they couldn’t take the ball away from him — and he was having the time of his life. The British substitute teacher couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He had never watched anyone dribble like that before. Shocked, he shouted, “You are a terror on the soccer field!” The name stuck. From that day on, all the kids called him The Terror, and he carried that nickname for years.
As time went by, the only thing left from “The Terror” was the mask. Since he spent so much time coaching new, young, and fellow soccer players, he eventually changed his nickname to The Soccer Whisperer. The players he helped were the ones who insisted on calling him by the new name. They liked that he kept the mask as a reminder of his past. Now he is ready to share everything he has learned with soccer lovers everywhere.
“If you want to be a better soccer player, you should invest in yourself.”
