EP14. Youth Soccer Abroad: Comparing Ramstein, Germany to the U.S. with Sandy Sandoval

This week’s episode of The Inside Scoop was a special one. Neil Crawford, founder of ⁠Anytime Soccer Training⁠, sat down with Sandy Sandoval to dive into his son’s soccer journey growing up in Ramstein, Germany. We compared what youth soccer looks like overseas to the experience here in the U.S.—from coaching styles and competition, to community culture and how kids develop in different environments.

It’s an honest conversation about the similarities and differences between two soccer systems, what American parents and coaches can learn from the German approach, and the unique challenges of raising a player abroad.

This show is brought to you by Anytime Soccer Training—the only platform with over 5,000 follow-along videos and tools for both parents and coaches.
