As the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup brings unprecedented attention to soccer, it's worth asking: What can coaches, parents, and athletes learn from this moment?
Join PCA CEO Jason Sacks along with Nashville Soccer Club Head Coach and former U.S. Men's National Team Head Coach B.J. Callaghan for a conversation about the evolving landscape of soccer in America and the lessons that can help young athletes thrive both on and off the field.
The game may be growing, but the values that matter most remain the same: positive relationships, personal growth, and a love of the game.

This past weekend, PCA partnered with Gatorade and ESPN's Take Back Sports campaign at the Miami Youth Sports & Wellness Festival.
Hosted by the Miami Beach Youth Sports Foundation, the event brought together families, local programs, and community leaders around a shared goal: expanding access to youth sports and creating positive experiences for every child. PCA delivered coach and parent workshops, helped spread the Take Back Sports message, and connected with families as kids explored a variety of sports and local opportunities to play.
From athlete hydration stations to obstacle courses, music, and community engagement, it was a weekend full of energy, learning, and impact.

Creating clear boundaries helps young athletes feel valued for more than their performance and strengthens the relationships that matter most.
