In this episode of Chat By The Pitch, Juan Martinez — founder of JMS Soccer and President of DKSC — opens up about the journey behind JMS Academy, his daytime elite training environment built for disciplined, goal-driven young athletes. Juan walks through how JMS started in 2018, why it shut down during COVID, and how it returned in 2023 with a renewed mission: character, mental toughness, individualized development, and a one-stop shop of services for players chasing big goals.

Juan breaks down the full structure of the academy day: early drop-offs, morning training, strength and conditioning with Juan Robles, nutrition habits, multiple school blocks, afternoon sessions, tactical work, recovery routines, and the mental side of the game. He shares how he intentionally builds an environment focused on quality over quantity, creativity over rigid systems, and long-term growth over short-term results.

For any parent curious about homeschool-based soccer development, elite training routines, or what it really takes for a player to chase a college or professional pathway — this conversation gives a raw, detailed look inside JMS Academy’s first year.

In Part 2 of The Return on Investment Myth — Rethinking Youth Sports, Dr. Travis Dorsch returns to Chat By The Pitch to go even deeper into the real work of parenting athletes. From accountability and culture to failure and social media, Dr. Dorsch shares how parents can reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect with the reason they signed their kids up in the first place.

We talk about how good intentions can cross the line, why “culture is king,” and what clubs can do to build a healthier ecosystem for players and families alike. From letting kids fail to redefining success after COVID, this conversation is a master class in perspective, patience, and purpose for every parent, coach, and club leader.

💬 Key Talking Points

• Setting boundaries between good intentions and over-involvement

• The power of an accountability partner for parents

• How culture outweighs budget in building winning teams

• Reflection as a missing habit for most sports parents

• Why parents must allow failure to build resilience

• Social media and the “Gucci parent” era

• Three keys to supporting your athlete: show up, be present, celebrate both wins and losses

• Parent education that works vs. programs that don’t

Quotes from Dr. Travis Dorsch

• “Our kids aren’t miniature adults — we have to stop treating them that way.”

• “Accountability partners on the sideline can save you and your kid a lot of pain.”

• “Culture is king — and it’s free if you do it right.”

• “Parents have the potential to be incredibly reflective, but most of us choose not to be.”

• “Failure is a safe space for learning if we let it be.”

• “Social media shows the best five percent of every season and hides the 95 percent of growth.”

• “Let’s cheer for our kid’s competitors the same way we cheer for our own.”

• “Show up. Be present. Celebrate success and failure alike.”

• “Competitive outcomes and character development aren’t mutually exclusive — you can have both.”

• “Be humble enough to apologize when things go sideways. We only get one shot at this as parents.”

In Part 1 of The Return on Investment Myth — Rethinking Youth Sports, Dr. Travis Dorsch joins Chat By The Pitch to explore what families are truly getting from youth sports. As a professor at Utah State University and founding director of the Families in Sport Lab, Dr. Dorsch shares how his research — and his own parenting journey — reveal the tension between performance, pressure, and purpose.

We unpack why so many parents chase the wrong outcomes, how goal misalignment drives kids out of the game, and what it really means to “invest” in your child’s sport journey. From NIL deals to the cost of club soccer, Travis challenges families to define success differently — not in scholarships or stats, but in the lessons that last a lifetime.

💬 Key Talking Points

• Why parents should expect a return on investment — but not the kind they think

• The dangers of chasing scholarships and pro dreams too early

• Goal alignment: how parents, coaches, and players get out of sync

• What keeps kids in the game past age 13

• The problem with commodifying young athletes

• Systems thinking: placing the child at the center of the sport ecosystem

• Communication tips for the car ride home

• What questions parents should ask after every game

• Modeling behavior and emotional control on the sidelines

• How family dynamics shape athlete development

• “Snowplow” vs. “scaffolding” parents

• Defining success beyond wins and goals

• Building lifelong movers instead of short-term stars

🗣 Quotes from Dr. Travis Dorsch

• “Parents should expect some form of return on their investment — but the real question is how we define that return.”

• “When parents define success as scholarships or contracts, the pressure skyrockets for everyone.”

• “Goal alignment is everything. If parents and kids aren’t chasing the same thing, conflict is inevitable.”

• “The child needs to remain at the center. When parents or coaches make it about themselves, that’s when problems start.”

• “If we can just get kids to come back next season, we’re winning.”

• “You can’t name Christian Pulisic’s U12 record — because it doesn’t matter. What mattered is that he kept playing.”

• “Parents are role models first. Kids don’t just hear us — they watch how we act.”

• “Ask better questions on the ride home. Not ‘Did you win?’ but ‘What was the most exciting thing you did today?’”

• “Work hard, listen to the coach, and have fun — that’s our family mantra.”

• “Youth sport is a vehicle to raise better humans, not just better athletes.”

In this episode, Tom Boyce, co-owner of Crossbar and London Calling TX, shares how these two soccer spaces are redefining culture in North Texas.

From weekday pickup and late-night leagues to homeschool sessions and family-friendly weekends, Crossbar has created a space where adults can play, relax, and connect while their kids grow up around the game.

Tom and Ian dive into:

• Locations: Dallas (formerly Richardson) and Denton, both with full-service bars and turf.

• League nights: Open, Co-Ed, and Over-30 divisions.

• Pickup culture: 5v5, first to two goals, winner stays — no cleats allowed.

• The cash-rollover pickup pot that’s become part of Denton soccer lore.

• Daytime blocks for homeschoolers, youth training, and open play.

• Community partnerships with gyms, coaches, and local soccer groups.

• Expansion plans: new outdoor turf and long-term franchise potential.

• “Happy parents = better players.” The ripple effect of Crossbar’s culture.

💬 Quotes from Tom Boyce

“We’re adult-first, but kids are always welcome. It’s a soccer community center.”

“If parents are comfortable, coaches can coach and kids can just play.”

“Pickup should be fun — 5v5, winner stays, no pressure, no cleats.”

“That cash pot in Denton? It started small, now it’s legendary.”

“We’re not here to nickel-and-dime. We’re here to belong.”

“Think the Cheers bar — but for soccer.”
