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.

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. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

I have been very fortunate over the years to have worked with many good players. Truly humbled to have received a copy of “It’s Just a Ball” by author, former player of mine and student of the game, @jon_townsend3. Thank you so very much for the gift and the continued friendship.

Timely reminder of the incessant drive & desire to improve that made Everton’s Frank Lampard as a player in @ItsJustABall by @jon_townsend3 Great book. Personal, informative and full of detail/views on the culture & mindset required to fall in love with playing #efc #UTFT

One of my favorite reads this year. Fantastic perspective of a player who’s experienced the game from the west coast and Midwest , along with international play as an American. Very interesting to see how soccer is viewed differently depending on where you grew up in the US
