Sport Commandments came about by accident.  When our Dad was coaching our Girls U-8 team he began every practice and pregame the same way.  He told us it was imperative that young players learn the basics of the sport and the earlier, the better. Reviewing what he considered to be the most important elements of the game. He gave each player a card with all the things he wanted us to remember on the field and one by one we would read them aloud.  We had the worst team in the league in terms of athletic ability . . . but what we didn’t have in athletic ability we made up for using our heads out on the field by not making mental mistakes.  It worked, and like a fairytale, we eventually won the championship that year. 
What my sister and I learned was that the “mental aspect” of soccer is as important as being in good physical condition. When other coaches asked if they could use the card for their teams, my sister and I said to my Dad “I think we have a product”. 
Sitting in our kitchen night after night we discussed what else could be put on a card that would help and enhance youth soccer, help players, coaches and parents.
