The idea of building a program that enhances player development was born out of passion. That passion is based on providing a better way to teach children to play a game that is still foreign in the United States when it comes to player development. As soccer in the United States has grown into a recognizable and respectable sport it still lacks players with the ability to read the game.

We have the ability to produce technically gifted players but cannot produce playmakers or those who can make more creative decisions on their own. This is mainly due to the coaching development and style in which the sport is taught at younger levels.   

Youth Development in the United States has followed a very distinctive path. Coaches with little experience or knowledge of how children learn and develop dominate programs. Just as important they lack the knowledge of how to develop players to meet the highest demands that soccer offers.

SasvariWay is designed to change the style in which players learn to play. It is born out of studying how children learn. Youth coaches in the U.S. tend to teach soccer the same way other traditional sports are taught. Coaching schools that place the coach at the center of development have also dominated youth development. American football, baseball, and basketball emphasize the coach who controls most of the environment and decisions that are made by the player.

Even with trained professional coaches with good intentions, players are told what decisions to make in certain situations based on a coach's vision of how they should play. Young players are NOT trained in an environment to meet the demands of the game with their own solution. They are taught to perform and play the way the coach wants them to play.

"You should know, that the things you said, at the camp we had, I agree 100 percent with and I believe in the same.  If you have the passion for the game, then you are ahead in front of your teammates!  You got my respect already after 2 days at the camp.  I could see your passion for the game, right away and the way you treated us was completely amazing. And all that work with the players and driving them, you just have control over it all - that was very impressive."
