Truth- I was an American college football player who met a girl that played all the way up to club at OSU. After my time in the USMC, we met, fell in love and the rest of Futbol history. I’ve played now for 23yrs, coached for 11. Absolutely love your book and perspective.

Thank you to all the friends who recently grabbed a copy of my book. Please leave a review on Amazon in the near future if you enjoyed. It may not seem like a big deal, but to authors, it means the world🙏🍻📝🙏
Question for coaches of players 13+ years of age:
Do you ever ask players to study a player, system, team, facet of the game?
If so, what criteria do you consider “studying” the game?
YouTube? Books? Articles? Game film?

Second show of the day starts recording in about an hour as I talked with author and nice football man @jon_townsend3 about the state of the sport over here and how much it sucks to break a leg. Got a question for us? Leave it here now while I edit and produce the big CROpod.

🎙️ The Day of Endless CROpod continues and I sit down for a chat with @jon_townsend3. Injuries on the park and other oddities of local football scenes gives way to a lengthy discussion about how broken US Soccer is. Wherever you get your podcasts. promocards.byspotify.com/sha…

US Soccer is an absolute fucking nightmare that no one throughout the organization can actually fix because they don't really want to. Me and @jon_townsend3 talked about that and more in a 1-hour conversation today.

Great book around player development. Not just someone’s opinion, but research to support. Worth a read with pre-season approaching. Thanks @jon_townsend3

Timely reminder of the incessant drive & desire to improve that made Everton’s Frank Lampard as a player in @ItsJustABall by @jon_townsend3
