Over the years, many of our original articles have been picked up and posted in many countries and on various web sites around the world—from Ireland, the United States and Canada to New Zealand.

- The web site of the highly-respected international soccer coach Tony Waiters, World of Soccer, ran a number of our articles, including this one on "Doing the Right Things when Interacting with your Players - The "Checklist" for Youth Soccer Coaches".
- Our articles were picked up fron as far away as New Zealand, and localized for use with youth soccer teams.

We include this information simply to share with you that we hope the valuable—and very practical—tips we aim to share through our writing on youth sports will be considered by as many Clubs as possible. Children sometimes need to be pushed, always challenged, but also supported and nurtured to ensure that if they love sport, we—parents, coaches and administrators—don’t take that way from them.
