Dr. Matt Midkiff’s path to sports physical therapy didn’t follow a straight line.He was a college soccer player at Westmont, a youth coach who built one of Arizona’s top club programs, and today he’s a leading sports PT who helps young athletes stay healthy and competitive.In this episode of Finding Small Wins, we dive deep into the youth soccer ecosystem — where passion meets pressure.You’ll learn three key lessons from Matt’s experience:First, why collaboration between parents, coaches, and providers is the missing link in youth athlete development.Second, how the pay-to-play model and overloaded schedules are quietly creating injury epidemics.And third, the practical fixes — from communication templates to smarter training periods — that can keep kids performing without breaking down.Whether you’re a coach, a parent, or a clinician, this conversation is a reminder that the next generation’s success depends not on more games — but on better guidance.
