One small change can have a BIG impact on your child’s soccer journey:


Cut back on screen time during two key moments—right before bed and first thing in the morning.


It might not seem like a big deal, but those two moments shape how your child winds down at night and gears up for the day ahead.


💤 What’s in it for them?

✔️ Better, more restful sleep

😴 Easier time falling asleep without screen stimulation

⚡ More energy for school and training

🧠 Improved focus during practice and games

🧘‍♂️ Reduced stress and anxiety


But here’s the important part—it’s not just about setting rules.


🎯 Don’t drop it on them like a “new house policy.” Instead, talk it through and decide together.


Share why it matters. Ask how they feel about it. Come up with a plan as a team.


🧩 When kids are part of the process, they feel heard—and they’re far more likely to stick with the changes. You avoid the power struggles and build trust at the same time.


🌱 A small shift today can mean better sleep, better focus, and a more confident young player tomorrow.

When it comes to screen time and kids in soccer, the small choices matter. Reducing screen use during key moments can lead to better sleep, sharper focus, and stronger performance. It’s not about control — it’s about support. Help your child build habits that serve both their game and their growth.

Try it tonight—and see what happens. 😉
