Hi, I'm Neil Crawford, a passionate soccer dad and the founder of Anytime Soccer Training. When I began training my two sons in soccer, I faced a common dilemma: how do I help them reach their full potential while keeping things enjoyable and avoiding burnout?

I considered various options, from training them myself to hiring private coaches. Despite not having a background in soccer, I decided to train my sons myself. However, I couldn't find resources specifically tailored to parent trainers like myself. That was the inspiration behind Anytime Soccer Training.

Our follow-along videos and coaching support help players develop technical skills at their own pace. I also host a weekly podcast where I share my personal experiences and insights as a parent who trains his own children. I provide practical tips to help other parent trainers avoid common pitfalls and guide their children toward reaching their full potential in soccer.

As a parent-trainer, I believe in the importance of children taking ownership of their development while receiving support from their parents. Striking the right balance between training and fun is crucial, and I openly share my journey on and off the field.
