Coaching Burnout Is Real: A Conversation with Dan Raben
Tuesday, 30 June, 2026

Dan Raben has done pretty much every job that exists in youth soccer — coach, director of player development, director of operations, coaching educator, you name it. In this episode, he sits down with Brooks to talk about something coaches don't discuss nearly enough: taking care of yourself while you're busy taking care of everyone else's kids. They get into how to handle the tough situations that come up on the sideline and behind the scenes, why communication makes or breaks a coaching career, and how to find some actual balance in a job that tends to swallow people whole. If you coach youth soccer — or any youth sport, really — there's a lot here worth taking notes on.If you loved this episode, drop us a review and rating — it genuinely helps us grow! ⚽🙏Join 80,000+ soccer fans who read our twice-weekly Substack newsletter.
