I coach a 12U boys rec team​ and I'm really struggling to figure out how to prepare for the fall. This will only be my third or fourth season coaching, and assistant coaching at that.

I mostly leave the tactics up to the head coach, but since we are a rec club, we have a huge skills gap. Some kids have been playing for years and some are completely new to the sport.

I really want to focus on individual skill development and bringing the weaker / newer players up to speed as soon as possible without boring the older players. I just don't know how to help some players learn how to dribble and pass while I need others to improve their vision of the game, hold shape, or be braver / more aggressive etc.

Is there anyone else struggling with this? I feel like this would be less of a problem when coaching club soccer because everyone wwnt through tryouts and has a certain minimum competency, but I'm having a hard time figure out how to design a practice for everyone that will be challenging and engaging at the same time. And of course we need some fun thrown in there because if the practice only feels like work kids will just get bored and quit...

Generally this team practices twice a week for 90 minutes each with a game on the weekend and the kids are willing to show up that often and put in the work. I just want to make sure I'm using their time wisely.

Until today, I could have sworn Google always placed its AI answers at the top of the SERP. I made a simple search - "why does my carrier hvac have two air filters" - and I saw the AI answer render, but when the SERP fully loaded, it was gone. I scrolled down and found it in position #10 on Page 1. No paid ads in these results either.

Has anyone else noticed this? I could have sworn AI answers always came out on top of Google results - even before paid placements. Am I going crazy?

My company is in the middle of a large industrial building with much bigger companies on either side of us. Everything's been great until a couple months ago. All the sudden I have a really hard time connecting to the wireless networks I have running in our lab. If I bring the APs home they work fine, but every time I take them down to the office they act weird.

Yesterday I was able to connect with my laptop but not my phone, then the laptop connectivity dropped shortly thereafter. If I bring the same equipment home and plug them up I can connect to them no problem from my laptop or phone.

I've talked to the businesses on either side of me and of course both use MSPs (AT&T in one case) so I'm not hopeful that I'll be able to talk directly to whoever administers their network, but not being able to use my own wireless is really killing me. I'm having customer projects run behind because I can't lab test before I deploy. I can't give customer demos because I can't access the web UI to administer my own equipment.

Is there any way I can use Wireshark or some other tool to find verifiable evidence that there's outside interference of my wireless networks? If I can find proof that a neighbor is killing my network I'm sure they would be kind enough to make an exception in policy and leave my SSIDs alone, but I just need to be sure of who's doing what before I start pressing harder.

In the past I've seen it take a day or two to index an article, then weeks or months to work my way up to the first page. Today I finally published an article I've been working on for a while and I'm already in the #1 spot for several of the keywords I optimized for ​and I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. Even from an incognito window, Google is returning featured snippets and other rich content I inserted into the post.

Granted, I'm in a niche B2B industry and I don't have much competition for branded search, but still - taking the #1 slot so quickly for so many keywords I actually want to rank for is a new experience for me.

Has Google changed their algorithms where they are trying to be more agile when it comes to factory new content into search results? My site has been around for a few years but it's still pretty light on content overall. Maybe 10 pages and 20 posts. Just curious if you guys are saying similar results. TIA 🙏
