WEBVTT 1 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:40.200 Wow, it actually showed up without the the other one, 2 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:41.840 the other box with the info. 3 00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:47.520 Great small victories. All right. So since it's a Friday, 4 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:55.600 Hello Friday, hmmm. 5 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:10.560 Come on man, scoop for dude, it's fine dayDay. 6 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.439 And it's wet and it's snowy. At least here it's 7 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.760 U S D H h Q. It was funny this 8 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:29.799 morning where you know, you're looking at the weather channel 9 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.760 day and day and before and all this kind of stuff, 10 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.280 and you're wondering, okay, is it gonna happen? And the 11 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.120 way that it usually works is we always seem to 12 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:42.719 deal in the extremes. 13 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.280 Either the sky is gonna fall down. 14 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.920 Or it's not, and there's you know, nothing in between 15 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.640 that is gonna It's like, well. 16 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.400 It might you might get a dusting, you might do 17 00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.079 this or this or this, this this. 18 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:08.840 So this morning, the boss opens up a window and says, well, 19 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.759 opens up the blind and she says, hey, look. And 20 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.759 so then of course at that moment, I sit there 21 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.400 and I'd pull out the remote control and I'd go 22 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.400 to the weather channel and I would sit there and 23 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:23.759 first and I go, okay, so where's Canty. He's in Nashville. 24 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.039 So we're safe in that regard, and then what are 25 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.120 the rest of the what's the rest of the coverage like? 26 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.960 And so they've got dudes in Arkansas and on the 27 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.400 Connector and they're showing dot cameras here where folks are 28 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.439 venturing out on two eighty five, which is for those 29 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.960 that aren't here in the Atlanta area. That's the Perimeter 30 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.680 freeway that goes it circles around the city proper, and 31 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.319 folks are on it and they're marooned and they're wrecking 32 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.360 and things like that. So apparently the end of the 33 00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.960 world is happening, and it is supposed to go from 34 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.639 from snow where depending on who you're talking to, it's 35 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.400 two three four inches already on the ground. And remember 36 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.120 it takes seven inches of snow for it to be 37 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:18.599 one inch of rain in translation, so right now, some 38 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:23.120 folks to three four inches. I put the cover for 39 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.159 the outside non garaged automobile on the boss's car last night, 40 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.280 and you can sit there and you can see that. 41 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.520 You know that it is about two inches and everything. 42 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.319 Ice has already started accumulating on the steps and things 43 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.439 like that. So it is the end of the world, 44 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.080 and we all should just you know, act accordingly. There 45 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.520 are dogs that are enjoying themselves this morning in plentiful numbers, 46 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.039 getting all of their zoomies out and everything. But the 47 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.080 biggest thing is just be safe. Be safe, be safe, 48 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.360 be safe, be safe, be safe.

I mean, 57 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.560 like absolutely have to. So make sure that your faucets 58 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.759 are running, make sure that you've properly winter rised, I 59 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.000 mean get We actually, and I guess this is opening kickoff. 60 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:30.319 We actually went out and purchased those. You know, they're 61 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:36.000 like triangle there's styrofoam triangles that you put over your 62 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.879 outdoor faucets. It's like there's a there's a latch that's 63 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.959 on the inside of the styrofoam device and it locks 64 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:50.120 over the spigot and you sit there and you and 65 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:51.720 you put it on the top of it and then 66 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.600 you tighten it up and so that way it doesn't damage, 67 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.439 it doesn't freeze up the the opportunity for anything to 68 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.480 come out of water from an outside faucet. So we 69 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.160 actually got some of those. So we've tried to winter 70 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.319 rise as best we can. And yes, tomorrow we are 71 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:15.480 still going to try and escape to head south because 72 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.879 next week is from the beach because it's anniversary week 73 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.959 and technically anniversary is Sunday, so anniversary is Sunday.

He's still going two to three 189 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.960 inches in the springs and de Graham's in this morning, 190 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.200 switched to sleep, but he got about two inches of snow. 191 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.600 Morning Alex, and a snowy good morning across the board 192 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.519 to everybody. Okay, a couple of things here breaking down 193 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:16.120 the show this morning. Obviously we've got to get you 194 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:16.759 ready for the weekend. 195 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:17.320 There's news. 196 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.440 There's plenty of news, and there's plenty of stuff to 197 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:27.960 discuss in getting you ready for all of the activities 198 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.399 on the weekend and training camps starting to warm up 199 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.399 and all that kind of stuff. Rundown today, we'll hear 200 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.480 from Jack Collison and his new gig coming up in 201 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.559 just a little bit. I've got some sound from MLS 202 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.840 media days from Jesse Marsh that we need to get into. 203 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:43.559 And in now our number two, Donovan Ricketts, the new 204 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.399 head coach at Carolina Core, is going to be joining 205 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.600 us to start our turn, our turn of the training 206 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.799 camps here in the footprint. So I guess officially today 207 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.919 is when we start training camp reports. We're gonna try 208 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.799 to catch up with as many coaches as we can 209 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:04.720 in the footprint all League One Championship, MLS Next Pro 210 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.120 and USL USL MLS Next Pro, all the above. We're 211 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.679 gonna try to catch up with as many coaches as 212 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.279 we can to get you ready for the season. So, uh, 213 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:17.480 that's where we are. Four Cards says he's got like 214 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.639 four inches in little Bern and it's now turned to sleep. 215 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.600 Just stay indoors, don't drive anywhere. Don't do anything of that, okay. 216 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:30.840 So here is our first batch's sound and it is 217 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.279 coming from our friend Jack Collison. Jack Collison, and for 218 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.279 those of you that might have had the might have 219 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.759 had the chance to see it is uh. He has 220 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.639 now got a new gig with these with SSA and 221 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.759 the Swarm, and so uh it is a new gig. 222 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.399 He is the director of methodology for SSA and for 223 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.960 the Swarm and their relationship with Brentford. 224 00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.480 So we caught up with Jack. 225 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.320 Jason and Maddy went out to Austelle to catch up 226 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.879 with SSA, to catch up with Jack Collison. The sit 227 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.919 down interview in audio form was released this morning and 228 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.879 so the video version is going to be coming out 229 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.720 in short order. So here is a bit of that 230 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:21.000 conversation that they had with Jack Collison about his new gig. 231 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.080 It's a big time for ambition in soccer in Atlanta 232 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.960 right now, with Club World Cup coming the summer, with 233 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.600 a World Cup semi final coming in eighteen months. You know, 234 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.720 what's your take on the landscape of soccer in the 235 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:36.639 city right now? 236 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:42.399 I'm blown away. I love it For someone who not 237 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:45.080 born with a soccer ball in my hand, I used 238 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.320 to go to bed wearing my football boots at time. 239 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.159 So for someone who sort of lived and breathed it 240 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.759 every single day and then coming out here five years ago, 241 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.559 but seeing the growth in the previous five years has 242 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.639 been incredible, and enough to play a small part of 243 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.360 it has been great as well. But what's to come 244 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.679 is just mind blowing. You look at, as you say, 245 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.279 the World Cup, you look all the new teams coming up, 246 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.559 You look at the infrastructure being put in place everywhere, 247 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.840 and I think the great thing is obviously we're doing 248 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.080 a lot of the good things here as well. You're 249 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.320 going to see lots of changes to the training facility. 250 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.840 There's a real professional feel now around the youth programs. 251 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.799 The women's side is really growing, and as I said, 252 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:30.440 already are ambition. There's no hidden secret is to bring 253 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.960 pro soccer here to SSA and to the swarm. So 254 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.000 fingers crossed, we can get there. And not only is 255 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.840 it a great opportunity for the young players who are 256 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.159 in the system, it's also a great opportunity for some 257 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.960 of these young hungry coaches or coaches who have been 258 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.399 around the system for. 259 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:49.000 A long while. 260 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.799 So we're all pushing we're all working hard and hopefully 261 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.879 we can get to where we want to get to 262 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.320 make all that. 263 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.879 Get this, now, you hit a mute button. See can cough. 264 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:25.200 I'm trying. I was trying to, you know, expand the 265 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.519 Collison piece. And literally what I did is I waved 266 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:33.399 the arrow. I waved the arrow over the uh, the 267 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.720 open like I'm in the corner and it says enter 268 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:41.080 full screen, and so I just literally waved the the 269 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:44.039 the the carrot over the top of it, and there 270 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.200 it was. So I don't know what well, I don't 271 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.159 know what I did. I don't know what I did, 272 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.879 but I'm still learning this silly thing. So I don't know. 273 00:15:55.799 --> 00:16:00.480 I don't know. Yeah, Pars, that was gonna mut button. 274 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:02.960 Yeah, so I muted myself so I could cough and 275 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.679 so you guys could listen to Jack and I'd hear 276 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.399 me cough. And so I've waved my finger over the 277 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.000 top of it. Anyway, So that's part of the conversation 278 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.600 with Jack Collison. D Graham lets me know that it's 279 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.600 also out of video form, So go out to the 280 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.039 go out to the SDH channel, subscribe if you haven't 281 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.240 hit the like button and hit your notifications. So when 282 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.759 things do happen and you end up with great interviews 283 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.360 like Jack Collison's piece, that you can listen to the 284 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.080 interviews with Jack and everybody else that we piece up 285 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:33.000 on the network. 286 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.480 So so there you go. 287 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.039 Apparently, according to Tom, the four Letter has an interview 288 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:43.279 with Pochettino because he's getting ready for camp Michael's touring. 289 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.720 The subdivision started forty five minutes ago. Heavy snowsleep. Now 290 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:51.159 I'm mixing no snow's ending boom.

Pars has no idea to navigate it. Well, 329 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:14.279 then do this, Pars. Go to ninety two nine in 330 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:22.799 the game dot Com. Then go into the oh, the 331 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.119 the Q and a first season that I don't know 332 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.279 happened last night at six Michael, I do not know 333 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:29.960 about the Q and a thing for STMs that I 334 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.519 do not know. So ninety two nine in the game 335 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.480 in the Odyssey app. Then what you do is you 336 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.359 go into the podcast section. Then you click off the 337 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.279 Woodwork and that's where ninety two nine the game houses 338 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.920 all of their soccer content, and so you go from there, 339 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.359 you go in, you click and you find the most 340 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.519 recent episodes are obviously listed first. So go there ninety 341 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:56.000 two nine in the game in the Odyssey app and 342 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.160 that's where you find all of the off the woodwork, 343 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.279 so you know, not in the game, uh, podcasts or 344 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:09.359 Atlanta United podcasts. Off the Woodwork then Off the Woodwork 345 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:11.319 gives you the listing of everything that they've done. So 346 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:13.960 the conversation that Maddie and Jason had with Ronni Dalla 347 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:17.680 is there. I do not know about the STMs thing 348 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.119 that Q and A is posted anywhere. Someone might have 349 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.319 some audio if they you know, if they're sitting in 350 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:25.279 the room someplace, but just can't kind of keep an 351 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.079 eye on that. But Michael, I do not know if 352 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:33.000 that audio is up. Yes, absolutely true, Abby says, I 353 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.920 asked my son if he knew who Cantory was, and 354 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.200 he thought he was a sportsperson like the former Yankee 355 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.559 manager Joe Torre. Okay, that's closed. I can get you 356 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:43.759 that one. And Aby Abbey's letting a pars know. If 357 00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:47.039 Cantory's in your city, you don't want it. If Jim 358 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:50.359 Cantore is in the middle of your city doing remotes 359 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.279 and live shots, that means that you're supposed to be 360 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:55.079 getting the worst of the weather and you. 361 00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:55.759 Don't want him there. 362 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.519 That means then if he's there, you don't need to 363 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:02.279 be put it that way, so that that's what you're 364 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.000 staring at when it comes to Jim Canty. So if 365 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:12.319 you're Jim Canty, then make sure that if he's heading 366 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.640 to your city, that you need to be out of 367 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:22.160 your city. That's the bottom line. Okay, once again, remember 368 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.720 ten o'clock. We're getting you ready for the weekend. In 369 00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:27.039 the ten o'clock hour, Donovan Rickett's the new head coach 370 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:32.279 for the UH for Carolina Core in MLS. Next pro 371 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.799 is going to be joining us. We'll find out what 372 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:36.160 it's like for him to be a head coach. He 373 00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.640 goes from keeper coach to head coach, and we get 374 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:42.720 to start our tour of everything going on in in 375 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:46.440 all of the clubs in the footprint. So that's what 376 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:47.759 we're that's what we're staring at. 377 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:47.960 Here. 378 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:54.519 One other thing that I wanted to get into, and 379 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.480 it has to do with. 380 00:21:59.000 --> 00:21:59.759 National teams. 381 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.799 Obviously, d Graham mentioned that there's an art that there's 382 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.799 an interview with the Pochattino at ESPNFC, and you know, 383 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.680 it's like just getting to know you kind of things, Hey, 384 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:12.799 what do you want to accomplish with this camp? Those 385 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.640 kinds of things. So, as it turns out, Tom mentioned it. Sorry, 386 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.000 So Tom mentioned that ESPNFC has an interview up with Pochettino. 387 00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:24.880 Ricky was in the snow. Well, you're excused, it's up 388 00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:27.119 perfectly fine. You missed me. 389 00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:31.000 Still trying to fumble through sequences and trying to get 390 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.240 folks to hear things here on the show. Interview with 391 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.920 Jack Collison up audio and video over at the SDH network. 392 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:43.680 So ESPNFC puts out an article to Pochettino. Major League 393 00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:49.039 Soccer was having their car wash for media day, and 394 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:52.160 so you had various people popping up. Burhalter was there, 395 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:54.920 he showed up, Chucky Lozano showed up for media day, 396 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.680 and so basically it was everybody that the league wanted 397 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:01.640 to have come up and talk about the game. 398 00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:03.640 They had him sit at a. 399 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.319 Table, sponsored table, the whole thing behind you and all 400 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.400 that kind of stuff. One of the folks that was 401 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:13.240 brought up at the table was Jesse Marsh. And Jesse 402 00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:18.160 Marsh we know Jesse Marsh's we know Jesse Marsh's new 403 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:23.240 gig he is. It's not necessarily new, but it is 404 00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:28.559 the most newest gig that he has and he is 405 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:33.759 the head coach for the Canadian men's national team. So 406 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:39.880 he was asked and this is courtesy of our friends 407 00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:47.319 at Major League Soccer. He was asked about the difficulties 408 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.799 of navigating the national team landscape these days, and this 409 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:58.319 is something that I did not anticipate ever hearing from 410 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:04.759 a coach at points, But considering the trouble that Canada 411 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:08.440 has had in the past, I don't know if I 412 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:13.000 should be surprised by this or not. Jesse Marsh divulged 413 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:16.839 this at MLS Media Day once again courtesy of our 414 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:18.079 friends at Major League Soccer. 415 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.480 First, we tried to have a January camp, and the 416 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.440 stark reality is just financially we're not in a position 417 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.400 as a federation to support a January camp yet without 418 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.160 having the kind of opponents. 419 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:29.720 To help support that. 420 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.240 So we put a lot of effort in the September 421 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:37.480 October November time period to see if we could make 422 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.240 it happen, and a lot of it was because, like 423 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.400 the US has used it over years, this was the 424 00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.759 blueprint for me too. With the Canadian group is trying 425 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.799 to unearth some good young talents that are playing domestically 426 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.200 in the CPL and with the MLS and finding a 427 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.240 way to incorporate them into what we're trying to do 428 00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:58.039 with the national team. And seeing if they had potential 429 00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:01.720 to rise in that group and be considered for what 430 00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:03.680 we might be able to include. 431 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:04.039 With the first group. 432 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.039 So it's a bit of a shame that we weren't 433 00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:07.680 able to accomplish that this year. 434 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:09.279 But I'm hopeful. 435 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:20.160 So jesse Marsh opens up, and I mean that in 436 00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:24.079 the sense of opening up, you know, in a press conference, 437 00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:30.400 in an emotional sense. Jesse Marsh admits that Team Canada 438 00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:37.279 and Canada Soccer do not have the finances or did 439 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:39.240 not have the finances. I guess they're still in the 440 00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:43.559 process of trying to gather them that they could not 441 00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:56.279 have camps. They could not have camps. Jesse Marsh says 442 00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:58.880 he hopes to hold a January camp in the future, 443 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.519 after plans for a gathering this year had to be scrapped. 444 00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:09.359 The Molist media Day was down in Miami. I'm guessing Miami, 445 00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:13.640 not Fort Lauderdale, US. Once again, they traditionally hold the 446 00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:17.400 camp and they're getting ready for that. Canada Soccer has 447 00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:23.799 done that in the past. Kevin Blue apparently working on it. 448 00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.400 We'll get into that more an hour number two. But 449 00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:31.960 you know what this means. It is nine thirty ish 450 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.400 on a Friday, the regular crowd shuffles in to para. 451 00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:40.279 To paraphrase the philosopher William Joel, and that means we 452 00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:45.039 get to welcome in one of our friends, Michael Parkhurst. 453 00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:53.319 How are you, sir, Good morning and happy New Year. 454 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:53.799 John. 455 00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:55.319 I am good. 456 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:02.160 So we are apparently facing snowmaged here in Atlanta. Uh oh, 457 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:05.839 I heard two three four inches of snow. Everybody had 458 00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:08.200 better have run to the store and gotten their their 459 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:10.920 run on milk, bread and water, and the shelves. The 460 00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.440 shelves are empty, and people are frolicking, and animals are 461 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:17.000 sitting there and going bruh, I ain't going out and 462 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.759 all that stuff. 463 00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:19.599 Uh. 464 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:22.920 You look outside, people are putting covers on cars and 465 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.319 things like that. So, uh is it just cold, nasty 466 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:28.359 and freezing where you are and you're laughing at the 467 00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:29.599 rest of us here on the planet. 468 00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:30.480 Is that how this works? 469 00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:31.440 Oh? 470 00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.480 No, I'm not laughing. 471 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:35.519 I mean, yeah, I'm laughing a little bit. 472 00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:40.279 Yeah, I remember how it is. I mean, that's great 473 00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:41.839 for the kids to enjoy a little bit of snow 474 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.920 down there. Yeah, we had a we didn't have much 475 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.839 snow up until, of course, the day before the kids 476 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:53.160 were finally supposed to go back to school. They had 477 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:55.240 been out for what felt like a month. I mean, 478 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.640 it was a great two weeks around the holidays, but 479 00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:01.359 a full two weeks out honestly felt like a month. 480 00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:06.759 And so first day back, five forty five am, the 481 00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:13.440 phone call comes in. School is canceled. So the kids 482 00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:15.759 enjoyed a snow day. So we've had snow on the ground. 483 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:16.079 We have. 484 00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:19.279 I don't think we're gonna get rid of it anytime soon. 485 00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:22.640 We're not gonna get above freezing for a while. So yeah, 486 00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:25.079 we've still got probably uh four inches on the on 487 00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:25.480 the ground. 488 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.680 So do you still have your moments where yet you 489 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:32.599 act like a teenager and you want to go outside, 490 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.720 you want to throw snowballs in general, and just like 491 00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:36.880 throw them at you know, buzz them right past your 492 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:39.440 kids' heads or or the boss or anything like that. 493 00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:41.160 Do you still have those mormentso you just sit there? 494 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:44.799 So now that's for the young, Yes. 495 00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:49.519 I do, brought on by the kids and the dog.

So they've 536 00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:59.480 kind of helped us in that regard of setting some goals, 537 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.799 you know, both for the year and then we do 538 00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:05.480 it by the quarter and saying, okay, hey, what do 539 00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:07.400 we want Where do we want to get accomplished this quarter? 540 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:08.279 Where can we go? 541 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:10.160 What do we want to do, what do we want 542 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:13.359 to implement?

And as 560 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.559 driven as we all are, it's like, yeah, I want 561 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:03.880 to do it right, I want to do it well. 562 00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:05.799 I want to do it this way, this way, this way, 563 00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:10.759 this way, and this way. How do you not get 564 00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:15.640 bogged down if you don't accomplish something, do you How 565 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.440 easy is it to just kind of sit there and say, okay, well, 566 00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:21.400 we'll work just as hard to continue to get there 567 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:26.359 and not get mad about not accomplishing something that you 568 00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:28.559 had on a list, I guess with something new. 569 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:33.960 Yeah, that's challenging, and I think you know that's why 570 00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.519 we encourage to have these smaller steps on the way 571 00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:41.079 because you know, if we're accomplishing what we want to 572 00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.319 get done on a weekly basis or a monthly basis, 573 00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:47.839 and then at the quarter we don't hit our quarter goal, 574 00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:49.640 you know, we look back and say, you know, what 575 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.640 we did what we could, it just didn't fall our 576 00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:54.839 way this quarter, so hopefully we'll make up for it 577 00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:58.880 next quarter type thing. And so, you know, really our 578 00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:03.279 goals we try not to make financial goals because we're like, 579 00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:06.599 you know, our services are there and we try and 580 00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:08.920 grow it and it is what it is. If people 581 00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:10.920 want to sign up, great and if they don't, great, 582 00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:14.160 So you know, a lot of our goals are kind 583 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.000 of like what can we do to put ourselves in 584 00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:20.000 a position to grow the business, and then just seeing 585 00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:25.200 did that help? Was that successful? And adjusting things from there. 586 00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:31.400 What was the most surprising thing that you learned beyond 587 00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:32.799 goals in twenty twenty four. 588 00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:40.720 I think the potential for growth. I think the looking 589 00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:47.480 outside of the box and thinking what more can we provide? 590 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.519 What else could this become? And just knowing that the 591 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.960 getting the feedback that we did from players and families 592 00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:02.319 just re emphasize like okay, we've got something here and 593 00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:06.119 we can do something. And so yeah, I think that 594 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.679 was the best thing that came out of twenty four 595 00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.079 And then working with this this group, I think is 596 00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:15.239 going to really help us, you know, just on social media, 597 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:18.760 get more organized, help us with goals and things. 598 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:19.800 So it was. 599 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:23.800 A good year in that regard, and we grew the 600 00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:28.840 business healthily, which was which is awesome. You know, Greg 601 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:33.639 works extremely hard in that regard, and yeah. 602 00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:34.360 He crushed it. 603 00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:37.840 What what did you learn from Greg? And what do 604 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.199 you think Greg learned from you? 605 00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:44.519 I think I can learn a lot from Greg's work 606 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:49.719 work ethic, Like he grinds hard, and you know, I 607 00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:52.639 think that you need that in any startup business and 608 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:55.679 young business. We're trying to grow it and do things, 609 00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:59.280 and I think that we just we understand each other's 610 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:04.039 role within the business really well. Greg grinds and gets 611 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:09.400 the customers and is so good with customer relations and 612 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:14.440 connecting with people and talking to them about why. And 613 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:18.039 I'm just trying to come up with new things and 614 00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.280 new projects and new partnerships and Okay, where can we 615 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.800 go and what can we do? And okay, how can 616 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:29.159 we hire somebody new? And you know, I think that 617 00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.960 we just we work well together. So I definitely learned 618 00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:36.760 from Greg, both in the hustle side of things, but 619 00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:42.000 also mentoring wise and how he works with some of 620 00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.880 his younger players and what he talks about, and we 621 00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:48.280 share ideas and we're continuing to grow obviously, and we 622 00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.519 encourage each other to grow and read and get better 623 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:57.280 and improve things. And just seeing kind of where he 624 00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:02.800 talks to kids about and how he approaches sessions. Sometimes 625 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:05.000 it's just different than how I do. So it's it's 626 00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:07.280 it's nice for each for both of us, I think, 627 00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:08.599 to see the other person in action. 628 00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:10.880 What's the last book you read? 629 00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:15.400 That's John It's number one on my list right now 630 00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:17.519 of I need to do better in twenty five. 631 00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:19.800 Oh wow, okay, because I think. 632 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.320 I started off well in twenty twenty four and I 633 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:26.159 probably have not read a book in like four months, 634 00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:32.760 so that's not good. So the last book I read. 635 00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:39.280 Where is it? Where'd you hide it? 636 00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.679 I think it's still hidden potential to be fair. I 637 00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:48.760 did reread this one because it was so good. Yeah, 638 00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:49.840 but yeah, that's the last. 639 00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:53.280 Book I read. So when you when you read a book, 640 00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:56.000 do you high? 641 00:36:56.079 --> 00:37:00.199 Do you take a highlighter and destroy the inside of 642 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.679 it and then end up getting another copy later. How 643 00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:05.679 do you when you take notes from other people to 644 00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:07.960 apply to what you want to do it beyond goals? 645 00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:09.760 How do you learn? How? 646 00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:12.800 What's the best way for you to learn from, like, say, 647 00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.559 a reading situation. Do you do you highlight? Do you 648 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:18.119 write something down separate? How do you how do you learn? 649 00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:18.880 When you read? 650 00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:25.039 I take a picture of whatever paragraph or sentence or whatever, 651 00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:28.000 So I've got just a bunch of pictures when I'm 652 00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:32.519 done reading or halfway through or something, and then I'll 653 00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:36.840 go write notes in a Google doc and so that 654 00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:40.360 I can keep it organized of like, Okay, why did 655 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:41.960 I take a picture of this? What does it have 656 00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:44.840 to do with whatever? That way I can kind of 657 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:48.840 organize it into where it would be helpful, because some 658 00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:52.800 of these notes go into like more broad topics, and 659 00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:54.760 some of them are like, Okay, this would be really 660 00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:58.239 useful when I'm talking to a kid about X, and 661 00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:02.559 so I want this information or this idea in this 662 00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:05.719 little area of notes that we have, you know, for 663 00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:09.400 ideas for when we're talking to a kid about that subject. 664 00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:11.239 So that's how I do it. Take a picture and 665 00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:12.440 then go back to it and write it. 666 00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:19.880 Okay, when it comes to twenty twenty five and getting 667 00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:22.480 getting your your mentees to learn. 668 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.320 Do you encourage resolutions? Do you? 669 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:32.239 And it might just be goals and aspirations instead of resolutions, 670 00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:34.280 because when you think of a new year's resolution, the 671 00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:36.679 first thing you think of sometimes is like, yeah, I'll 672 00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.119 give me like three weeks and I'll break it, you know, 673 00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:41.440 like working out. I'll set a new year's resolution to 674 00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:43.280 lose ten pounds and then three weeks and you sit 675 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.039 there and go, man, this is this is not happening. 676 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:50.119 Do you encourage goals and aspirations at the beginning of 677 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:53.079 a calendar year? Do you just sit there and have 678 00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:55.960 that as something as a part of a continual conversation. 679 00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:58.880 How do you bring in a new year with someone 680 00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:02.039 that you're that you're having to, that you're working with 681 00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:05.360 as a mentor how do you break down outlook, I 682 00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.000 guess is probably the best way to phrase it. 683 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:11.920 Yeah, it's a great question, and it depends on who 684 00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:14.199 we're working with and if we've worked with them before, 685 00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:18.320 because I think that, you know, with soccer being not 686 00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:23.159 a calendar year sport, it kind of gets a little confusing, Right, 687 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:24.840 do you make your goals at the beginning of the 688 00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:29.320 season for the soccer season or do you make it 689 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:31.960 at the beginning of the calendar year for the year, 690 00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:34.400 And so it just depends on you know, if this 691 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.239 if the player is playing year round, or if they're 692 00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:41.800 playing multiple sports, or or when we started working with them. 693 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.480 So a lot of them we do, right. I think 694 00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:48.920 it's it's great to have calendar year goals where you 695 00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:52.239 want to be this time next year, and then we 696 00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.320 work backwards, right, we always are working backwards. Okay, we've 697 00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:57.719 got this big goal here, or a couple of big 698 00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:01.440 goals that where we want to be. Okay, how are 699 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:04.079 we going to get there? And then what are we 700 00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:07.440 going to work on to get there? And ideally we're 701 00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.760 coming back to like a weekly or bi weekly checklist 702 00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:16.559 of Okay, have I hit these small little steps in 703 00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:18.199 order to get to my goal at the end of 704 00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:20.679 the year, because like I said earlier, John, we could 705 00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:21.559 hit all these steps. 706 00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:21.760 Right. 707 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:23.960 I've got a kid. He wants to get back with 708 00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:26.079 the national team. Right, he's been with the youth national 709 00:40:26.119 --> 00:40:27.920 team before. He wants to get back for the East 710 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.320 national team. That's his goal for twenty five. I said, 711 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:32.880 that's an awesome goal. Now how do we do it? 712 00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:33.719 Right? 713 00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:36.320 Okay, we need to be playing consistently, Okay, we need 714 00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.599 to be healthy right, Okay, great, what are the steps 715 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:39.880 to that? 716 00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:40.639 Right? 717 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:42.400 How are we going to take care of our body 718 00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:44.519 on a daily and weekly basis so that we are 719 00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.480 healthy enough? And you know, so you just small little 720 00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:49.719 challenges and goals along the way. 721 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:52.639 But at the same time, I think that when you 722 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:56.599 mentioned these these small goals, these incremental steps, I think 723 00:40:56.639 --> 00:41:00.480 that a lot of times we have a tendency to 724 00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.920 either take those small steps for granted and just it's like, yeah, 725 00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.559 you know, I'll skip this chapter because I know that 726 00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:10.079 I do that, when in fact, you might be found 727 00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:13.800 out that you don't, or you sit there and it's 728 00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.599 just like, oh I did. It's it didn't quite register 729 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:20.679 to me that I need to have that small of 730 00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:24.280 a step because it is one of those building blocks. 731 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:26.360 I thought that was interesting that you just mentioned that, 732 00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:29.199 because a lot of times we sit there and we'll 733 00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.400 take those small steps for granted, thinking that yeah, they're 734 00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:35.280 already a part of the process when they may not be. 735 00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:37.400 I thought that was really interesting that you brought that up. 736 00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:42.159 Yeah, it's a crucial, crucial aspect and that's where a 737 00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.559 lot of people go wrong and why a lot of 738 00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:48.239 resolutions fall all Right, the goal is just too far away. 739 00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:51.719 It's a big aspiration, a big goal, like it's a 740 00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:55.039 yearly thing or it's a huge thing that's going to 741 00:41:55.079 --> 00:42:00.559 take months and months. That's just tough for mentally, right 742 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.480 where you're not accomplishing something, you know, especially if it's 743 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:08.800 not a number or something where you can really you know, 744 00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:12.400 if it's just to look better or thin down or whatever, 745 00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:17.159 that's just tough over time. So yeah, we highly encourage it. 746 00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:19.320 I saw this video the other day. It was really 747 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.639 really good. I think it was a school teacher trying 748 00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:26.519 to teach his kids about this concept. And he had 749 00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:28.960 this kid who needed to get from one side of 750 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:30.760 the room to the other side of the room, and 751 00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:33.400 he had pieces of paper that the kid could step on, 752 00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:35.639 and so the kid stepped on the pieces of paper 753 00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:37.239 to get to the other side and said, okay, now 754 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:39.719 go back, and then he took away a few pieces 755 00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:41.679 of the paper and it was really more difficult, and 756 00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:43.920 then he took away all the pieces of paper and 757 00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:46.800 he said, if you don't have these steps along the 758 00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.440 way to get to your goal. It's impossible to get there. 759 00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:51.239 I see now. 760 00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:55.000 I like the idea of pulling all of the pieces 761 00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:58.599 of paper off of the floor, and it's like, okay, 762 00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:00.920 so now what are you going to do? And if 763 00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:03.320 you don't have those if you don't have those pieces 764 00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:07.039 laid in place, then you're gonna miss them coming back. 765 00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:10.280 You're not gonna have them coming back, or you're just 766 00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:13.920 gonna walk on the desks to get from one desk 767 00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:16.039 to the other and just do it up above. I mean, 768 00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:18.639 there's there's gotta be always a way in like in 769 00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:21.840 Star Trek with the Kobayashimaru and James T. Kirk when 770 00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:25.480 when he when he went around and broke the machine 771 00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:28.639 and just kind of refixed the machine to his own benefit. 772 00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:33.800 That is true. I gotta find alternative ways sometimes. 773 00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:36.239 Yeah excuses, Yeah exactly, Michael Parker. 774 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:39.440 Yes, it's all about finding different ways and that the 775 00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:41.800 and then your instructor goes, man, I wish I'd thought 776 00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:42.039 of that. 777 00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:46.360 But speaking of uh yeah, New Year's and like uh yeah, 778 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:49.000 goals and things, and have you heard of the uh 779 00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:52.440 the viral like a hard seventy five. 780 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.679 Challenge Uh no, what's this? Okay, Well you. 781 00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:57.559 Look it up John, it's uh it's I think it's 782 00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:00.440 a little older, but it became viral again. And basically 783 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:03.440 there's like five or six things and you're supposed to 784 00:44:03.480 --> 00:44:05.760 do it every day for seventy five days. If you 785 00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:08.199 mess up or miss one day, you start over. And 786 00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:10.840 it's really intense. That's why it's called hard seventy five. 787 00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:14.119 But it's basically it's like, drink a gallon of water 788 00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:17.639 a day, read x pages a day, exercise twice a day, 789 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.960 take a picture of yourself once a day, and there's 790 00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:25.800 a couple other things. I think. So I think Greg 791 00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:28.280 and I are going to implement a modified version for 792 00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:30.559 any mentees that want to do like a thirty day 793 00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:33.800 thing with us, where you know, you read a few 794 00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:37.039 pages a day, you get x amount of sleep per day. 795 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.199 We're not taking photos of ourselves. That's not the goal here, 796 00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:44.280 you know. But exercise could be something as small as 797 00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:47.039 stretching or getting core work in right, and it's just 798 00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:50.360 kind of like a more of a mentality and a 799 00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:52.880 discipline thing than it is, like we're not trying to 800 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.280 lose weight or do it for any specific reason. It's 801 00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:58.119 more like, hey, can we do something? Can we accomplish 802 00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:00.719 it for thirty days and stay dedicated to it and 803 00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:05.119 you know, get them thinking about and learning by reading, 804 00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:08.159 focusing on their sleep, getting certain amount of sleep. So 805 00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:10.280 we're tossing around the idea of, hey, should we start 806 00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:12.280 this for kind of the end of January and February 807 00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:15.639 type thing based off of this viral thing that's going 808 00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.039 around Andy Forsella. 809 00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.960 Think of this as an iron man for your brain. 810 00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.960 How to take complete control of your life and only 811 00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:26.880 seventy five days. Yeah, quoting for Sella, There's nothing worse 812 00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:29.440 than rolling through life in the passenger seat. You wake up, 813 00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:31.280 go to work, and drift through each day with no 814 00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:34.719 direction or driving force. Then you drive home, flip through 815 00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:36.800 your favorite TV shows, go to bed, repeat that same 816 00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:39.639 cycle the next day. Weekdays all run together. You find 817 00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:41.960 yourself trying to pass the time until the weekend so 818 00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.239 you can relax, unwind, and finally enjoy yourself. You start 819 00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:48.119 doubting yourself. I'm skipping forward, and so he said, this 820 00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:50.280 is why I believe in the seventy five hard program. 821 00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.320 I know exactly how you feel. I've been there myself, 822 00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.920 spend years feeling like I was nothing, floating through the 823 00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:59.000 days with no game plan and no results, letting myself 824 00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:02.440 go mentally and physical, trying program after a program to 825 00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:04.199 try to get back on track, only to fall off 826 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:06.559 right after I completed it. I knew I wasn't the 827 00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:09.400 only one going through this, realize the root cause of 828 00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:12.440 all of my problems was not addressed by any existing program. 829 00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:16.039 And so Andy Fracella is the guy that did seventy 830 00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:17.719 five hards. So you want to spin off and do 831 00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:21.239 well ninety hard because there's ninety minutes in a match. 832 00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:24.599 Mabe, Well maybe, well, maybe we'll get to that. But 833 00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:27.559 you know, I think you know as far as smaller steps. 834 00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:30.719 Forty five, give me forty five, Parkhurst can just start 835 00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:31.760 and give me forty five. 836 00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:33.039 Then you can start it for me. 837 00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:35.719 Yeah, we might even do thirty just a thirty day thing. 838 00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:38.840 See how we can do it, see what the response 839 00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:40.360 is like, and then they'll take it from there. If 840 00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:42.840 it was fun and everybody enjoyed it, maybe we'ld do 841 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:43.400 another one. 842 00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:46.639 There are other things that you guys did in twenty 843 00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:49.159 four that I thought were really cool, like bgtv's it. 844 00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:53.440 What's it like for you doing the television thing where 845 00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:56.440 you cut your teeth on programs like this, but then 846 00:46:56.519 --> 00:46:59.599 you actually, you know, then you go to BGTV and 847 00:46:59.639 --> 00:46:59.960 you do. 848 00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:01.360 That that work there. What was that like for you 849 00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:02.519 doing the video side. 850 00:47:03.440 --> 00:47:05.920 Yeah, I enjoyed doing the videos where I feel like 851 00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:08.639 I'm passing off knowledge of the way I see the 852 00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:12.760 game and the way high level athletes see the game 853 00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:14.800 and why they make the choices that they do on 854 00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:18.320 the field, and little little things that probably go unnoticed 855 00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:21.800 by a lot of youth athletes about what's making these 856 00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:25.159 professionals successful and what they're doing before the ball comes 857 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:27.159 to them, and all these little things that I'm just 858 00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.360 trying to point out and help out. And so I 859 00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:34.559 really enjoy doing it. It's it's fun for me. I 860 00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:39.079 hope that we continue to grow that, you know, it's 861 00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:43.519 it's a challenge getting kids to see the benefit of it, 862 00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:48.840 I think right now, but I still have big hopes 863 00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:49.199 for it. 864 00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:54.440 And I mean when you when you have different mentees 865 00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:59.519 of different age groups, different aspirations, whether it's you know, 866 00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:02.320 early high school, high school, I would you know, for me, 867 00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:05.000 I would say middle school, just to just to be different, 868 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:09.440 middle school, high school, different levels of professional. 869 00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:10.079 Aspirations things like that. 870 00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:12.800 How much of a challenge is it for you and 871 00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:17.360 Greg to make sure that your messages are catered to 872 00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:22.639 the individual and not just have blanket thoughts going in 873 00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:27.320 too every you know, everyone who is a mentee. How 874 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:29.480 difficult is it for you to for you and Greg 875 00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.920 to segment and break apart all of your messaging with 876 00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:35.039 all of your different mentees because of all the different 877 00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:36.039 directions they're coming from. 878 00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:38.760 Yeah, it's tough. That's that's a tech a challenge, right 879 00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:41.880 because we work with nine and ten year olds who 880 00:48:41.960 --> 00:48:46.840 obviously have different goals, aspirations and just ability to absorb 881 00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:49.920 knowledge differently than a seventeen year old who wants to 882 00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:53.440 get back with the national team. Yeah, or college kid 883 00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:56.880 who's playing D one, you know, so it is completely 884 00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:01.639 different levels. So we do try and we separate things. 885 00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:03.719 We know that not every message is going to hit 886 00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:07.480 every mentee, but some messages will hit some and some 887 00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:13.000 messages will hit others. And that's fine. Not every message, 888 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:17.320 not every piece of information is for the entire spectrum, 889 00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:21.280 but that doesn't mean they can't take something from it. 890 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:24.280 But yeah, it's that that is a challenge, and it's 891 00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:26.719 it's the same as like when I do soccer camps 892 00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:29.199 and you know, you try and have an age range 893 00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:32.320 of kids and you've got a level and you're just 894 00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:35.840 you're trying to do your best to teach everyone something 895 00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:37.639 so that they can get better. 896 00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:39.760 And have fun. 897 00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:42.440 But that's a challenge when you're dealing with different ages 898 00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:43.480 and different skill levels. 899 00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:46.199 I know that one of the words that we use 900 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:48.679 a lot these days when it comes to approaches and 901 00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:51.480 learning and things like that is the a holistic approach. 902 00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:53.599 And I know that you you believe in that at 903 00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:57.719 Beyond Goals. When I mentioned the word holistic to you 904 00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:01.800 when it comes to an approach at BGM, what does 905 00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:05.400 a holistic approach mean to you? 906 00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:14.039 Specifically, A holistic approach means all encompassing and yeah, looking 907 00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:16.639 at everything to become better, so on the field, off 908 00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:23.400 the field, mental, physical, nutrition, sleep, everything that for me 909 00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:26.679 is a holistic approach when we're you know, three sixty 910 00:50:26.760 --> 00:50:32.360 view of your life and what is helping you or 911 00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:33.519 hindering you to get better. 912 00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:35.519 Because there are some folks who may sit there and 913 00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:37.960 think of holistic and think that it's all new, that 914 00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:40.960 it's new age. You know that they get stuck in 915 00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:43.199 this notion of oh, it's you know, just twenty first 916 00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:46.440 century thinking, and it's this you know, you know you're 917 00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:49.880 looking at chakras and crystals and you know those kinds 918 00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:53.079 of things. That's why I wanted to get your definition 919 00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:57.039 of when you say a holistic approach, then it's a 920 00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:00.400 three hundred and sixty degree Okay, you've got to focus 921 00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.440 on this as much as you focus on this. You 922 00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:04.239 have to focus on the inside as much as you 923 00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:06.440 focus on the outside. You've got to focus on sleep 924 00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:09.599 and your your own mechanics as much as you do 925 00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:12.039 anything else. That's why I wanted to ask you, because 926 00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:14.000 there are folks that may sit there and look at 927 00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:17.760 it and their idea might be, you know, the the 928 00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:20.519 person that wanders around and you know there's just flipping 929 00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:22.960 smoke everywhere, you know, those kinds of things. So that's 930 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:25.880 why I wanted to get when you say holistic, That's 931 00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:28.679 why I wanted to get your definition, because some folks 932 00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.360 may get stuck in an idea and it's not where you're. 933 00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:31.880 Going at all. 934 00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:38.039 No, you don't want to be on that that edge 935 00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:40.480 of the row seat when the guy's coming by with 936 00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:43.159 that stuff. You know, whoa a little a little strong. 937 00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:44.519 I remember that. 938 00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:47.800 Yeah, no, when you're when you're doing that kind of stuff, 939 00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:48.599 that's very cool. 940 00:51:49.320 --> 00:51:53.519 To Bart's question over here, John, it's funny how snow 941 00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:56.519 day activities differ when you get a little bit older. 942 00:51:56.559 --> 00:52:00.079 My favorite currently is if we're gonna get snow on 943 00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:01.800 a lot of snow, so I can get the snowblower 944 00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:05.679 out right out that sucker. So I want to use 945 00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:08.679 that sucker. And thankfully we had enough snow last week 946 00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:12.559 to use it. So yeah, getting that guy fired up 947 00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:16.880 and using that's that's fun for me. And I still 948 00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:19.320 like sledding. Oh, if the kids are going to go sledding, 949 00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:20.159 I want to go sledding. 950 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:24.760 Yeah, I don't blame you a bit.

And this is 982 00:53:55.960 --> 00:53:58.960 where our tour of the training camps begins. Here for 983 00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:01.360 twenty twenty five get to catch up with head coaches 984 00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:05.159 all around the footprint. And our first head coach is 985 00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:07.039 from our friends at Carolina Corp. And this is where 986 00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:10.480 we bringing Donovan Ricketts, the head coach for Carolina Core Coach. 987 00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:13.719 Thanks for dropping by this morning here kick off our 988 00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:14.280 number two. 989 00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:17.880 Thanks for having me John and right. 990 00:54:18.039 --> 00:54:22.000 Yeah, so let me ask you this, And this might 991 00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:24.719 be one of those questions that I don't know how 992 00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:28.039 frequently you've gotten it, but now that you're a head coach, 993 00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:30.400 and this is more like two or three separate stages, 994 00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:33.519 how does it feel to be a head coach? 995 00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:41.119 Well, you could just feel the stress already. 996 00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:42.880 It's not. 997 00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:46.039 No, it's a fun job, but not an easy job. 998 00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:48.599 But just let me preface it by saying that it's 999 00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:52.199 gonna be a very stressful job because no, you're managing everything, 1000 00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:54.880 every single player, managing the environment and everything. 1001 00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:57.320 So but it's fun though. If you love the sports, 1002 00:54:57.320 --> 00:54:58.159 you'll enjoy the time. 1003 00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:01.920 Well, so then let me ask you this, why now, 1004 00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:06.079 why why at this point of your career did you 1005 00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:08.320 you know, in the meeting the off season leading into 1006 00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:12.039 this particular year, So what was it when when you 1007 00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:14.119 woke up in the morning, you stared in the mirror 1008 00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:16.199 and you sat there and you said, you know what, 1009 00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:21.360 I think I'm ready to be a head coach in 1010 00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:24.760 professional soccer. What was the what triggered that in your head? 1011 00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:26.480 It's like, yeah, I think I'm ready for this kind 1012 00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:27.159 of a challenge. 1013 00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:31.519 Well, first thing, just remember I was a goalie and 1014 00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:32.960 this said, yes, that is. 1015 00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:38.199 GK. Union is definitely something that is different. 1016 00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:42.400 So they say goods are crazy. So I just said, 1017 00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:42.800 you know what. 1018 00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:48.679 But to be perfectly honest, it's it's a natural progression. 1019 00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:52.280 If you play the sport and you're involved with the sport, 1020 00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:54.679 you naturally want to become a head coach. And then 1021 00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:57.079 the opportunity came along. So I guess it was just 1022 00:55:57.159 --> 00:55:58.480 the time and and everything was right. 1023 00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:02.480 What did what did you learn about yourself as a keeper, 1024 00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:06.320 coach and an assistant coach along the way that gave 1025 00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:08.800 you the confidence to sit there and go, yeah, you know, 1026 00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:10.880 I think I can do back and be a head coach. Well, 1027 00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.000 what did you learn about yourself along the way to 1028 00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:13.760 get to this point? 1029 00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:20.199 Well, I think like managing the goal is because I'm 1030 00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:25.440 managing like four different personalities sometimes and only one person 1031 00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:29.559 can play so to get everybody on the same page, 1032 00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.960 working with each other, working for each other might and 1033 00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:36.199 also pushing each other, and it's still we maintained that 1034 00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:40.239 unity and that camaraderie. I think it was just say 1035 00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:42.920 I could translate that to an entire team where you 1036 00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:46.360 have with outfield players, you have ten people that can 1037 00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:48.840 play and still take people off the bench. So it's 1038 00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:52.199 more you can keep people happier that way when other 1039 00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:54.039 people know that they're going to be in the mix 1040 00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:57.039 and the rotation. So I think just managing the goal 1041 00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:00.440 is just knowing only one can play and keep everybody focus, 1042 00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:01.639 keep everyone motivated. 1043 00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:03.320 It just gave me that confidence well. 1044 00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:05.440 And at the same time, as you mentioned being a 1045 00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:09.239 member of GK Union, you're all crazy, but managing all 1046 00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:11.920 of these different kinds of personalities, I think that that's 1047 00:57:11.960 --> 00:57:16.239 probably one of those early challenges that you have, where Okay, 1048 00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:18.400 I need to talk to this person this way. This 1049 00:57:18.440 --> 00:57:20.880 person I need to this person I need to kick 1050 00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:22.760 in the pants. This person I don't need to kick 1051 00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:24.119 in the pants. I kind of need to put my 1052 00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:27.519 arm around them. This person need to take them to 1053 00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:30.639 go get ice cream. This person, you know, this person 1054 00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:32.360 I need to go take the cookout. I mean, so 1055 00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:35.719 that whole thing, the the whole navigating of personalities is 1056 00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:37.360 something that you got to learn along the way too. 1057 00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:42.360 Yeah, And to be honest, when we played it was 1058 00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:45.039 just it was the same thing. It's like you're in 1059 00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:47.559 the locker room with different personalities and you have to 1060 00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:50.639 get along with those people for the collesiveness of the 1061 00:57:50.639 --> 00:57:53.719 team of the group. So you learn to know who 1062 00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:56.360 to talk to a certain way, how you push each other. 1063 00:57:56.440 --> 00:57:59.920 So I think we learned that naturally by playing the 1064 00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:01.639 game and being in the locker room, so it was 1065 00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:05.119 easy to translate that. And also I saw things when 1066 00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:07.559 I played that I didn't like that I thought maybe 1067 00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:10.079 if I implemented this, maybe this could affect change. 1068 00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:17.159 So just implementing things you learned. No, like when you're. 1069 00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:20.440 A goalie, say the goalkeeper coach is preparing the team 1070 00:58:20.800 --> 00:58:23.679 sometimes for the week, he only focuses on the man 1071 00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:25.880 that's going to play on a Saturday, So the one 1072 00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:28.000 that's not going to play fields kind of left out 1073 00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:30.840 and sometimes think what's the point, So how can I 1074 00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:33.840 get that person involved and get him focused, getting him 1075 00:58:33.880 --> 00:58:37.000 thinking that I do have a chance. Also, and also 1076 00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:39.480 the coach is prepared me just the same way he 1077 00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:40.519 prepares the number one. 1078 00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:41.519 Goal MLS Next Pro. 1079 00:58:41.800 --> 00:58:43.880 Actually tell you what before we talk about the league, 1080 00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:47.639 let me ask about High Point and the community and 1081 00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:51.639 what you've been able to clean about Greensboro or h Greensboro, 1082 00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:54.599 high Point, Wston Sale in that whole area of North Carolina. 1083 00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:58.440 What's it been like to see that particular part of 1084 00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:02.199 North Carolina there and High Point embrace what Carolina Core 1085 00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:04.840 have been trying to accomplish. What's it been like to 1086 00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:08.000 see the growth and the appreciation right there for Core? 1087 00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:12.800 Nice good because the owners they shared a vision that 1088 00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:16.920 the club was created for the community, so that was 1089 00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:19.079 the first thing they said, It's created for the community. 1090 00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:22.480 So us working in the community will be great for 1091 00:59:23.159 --> 00:59:28.199 the everything Carolina Core. So we put on a lot 1092 00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:30.320 of clinics, a lot of camps and you can see 1093 00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:33.039 the turnouts, you can see the fun, engagement and everything. 1094 00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:35.880 So I think it has been good up to this 1095 00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:36.679 point so far. 1096 00:59:36.760 --> 00:59:41.800 When you look at last season and the lessons that 1097 00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:46.159 you think you can carry with you from orr's season 1098 00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:48.800 in twenty four and MLS Next Pro, what do you 1099 00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:50.800 think some of the big lessons were that you could 1100 00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:53.199 carry with you coming into the twenty five season with 1101 00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:53.960 you as head coach. 1102 00:59:56.360 --> 00:59:58.719 Well, well, if you look how we ended the season, 1103 00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:01.599 we lost out on the playoff by a point or two. 1104 01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:05.280 So we just know that every single point is very 1105 01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:07.599 important in order to get us to where we want 1106 01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:10.599 to be. So there's no game that we'll go into 1107 01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:12.719 a game and said it's okay if we lose this one, 1108 01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:16.280 it's okay for this one. So everything is very important. 1109 01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:19.199 Every point is important. I know, we're no longer that 1110 01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:22.199 new team that no one knows about. No people know 1111 01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:24.840 of Carolina course, so we can't come in and think, 1112 01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:27.000 you know, we're just a new team. No people know 1113 01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:29.400 about Carolina Corps. So no, we have to double that 1114 01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:30.639 work to get to the end. 1115 01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:35.400 And that's part of it that this is interesting because 1116 01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:37.440 it's like, yeah, you're a first year team. 1117 01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:40.920 Yeah, okay, they're they're they're new they you know. 1118 01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:43.079 Yeah, we'll we'll sit there and we, you know, will 1119 01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:45.039 either take them for granted and get bid or not 1120 01:00:45.159 --> 01:00:47.119 taken for granted and get in for a challenge. 1121 01:00:47.559 --> 01:00:50.760 Uh, you're you're now one of the more veteran. 1122 01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:52.880 Clubs now in m LS next pro that that whole 1123 01:00:53.239 --> 01:00:54.599 year one is out the door. 1124 01:00:55.679 --> 01:00:57.639 When when you are a when. 1125 01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:02.480 You're a father, there's always the talk of the terrible twos. 1126 01:01:02.519 --> 01:01:05.320 You know, you have a new born, the new born 1127 01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:07.400 is you know, he goes through that first year they're 1128 01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:09.719 learning how to tea, learning how to walk. But then 1129 01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:12.760 they always talk about the terrible twos where the kid 1130 01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:15.360 just wakes up in the morning and all the all 1131 01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:18.559 the kid does is just it doesn't matter what breakfast is, 1132 01:01:18.840 --> 01:01:20.400 it doesn't matter what's going on. 1133 01:01:20.760 --> 01:01:24.400 The kid is just crying and wailing and. 1134 01:01:24.679 --> 01:01:27.840 Never happy and just it's like, no, I don't want 1135 01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:29.760 to wear that, I want to wear this. 1136 01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:32.519 You know, how do you and. 1137 01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:38.800 How do you foresee having Carolina Core avoid the terrible 1138 01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:42.519 twos to where it's one of those you know, you're 1139 01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:45.119 the kids just stomping his feet and nothing's happening, and 1140 01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:47.039 he doesn't like the wagon that he's got and he 1141 01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:49.599 wants to, you know, go outside and play. How does 1142 01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:52.039 Carolina Core avoid the terrible twos? 1143 01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:57.599 Well, the beauty of let's just say, of us not 1144 01:01:57.679 --> 01:02:00.719 making the playoffs last year is like we think, we 1145 01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:03.480 just think we could have achieved something, So no, that 1146 01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:06.599 hunger is there to achieve what we didn't last year, 1147 01:02:06.719 --> 01:02:08.800 so maybe if we have made the playoffs last year, 1148 01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:11.079 we are coming into this year thinking, oh, it's a 1149 01:02:11.159 --> 01:02:12.519 cake walk, we can make the playoffs. 1150 01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:14.440 But no, the hunger is there. No, we have to 1151 01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:16.320 do something that we didn't do last year. 1152 01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:19.000 So no, we have nothing to be complacent about or 1153 01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:21.400 to feel we have achieved anything, because no, we want 1154 01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:24.360 to create history by being the squad to be the 1155 01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:26.519 first one to make the playoffs for the franchise. So 1156 01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:28.920 the hunger is still there because we have something to 1157 01:02:28.960 --> 01:02:31.599 play for. So I think that's how we navigate our 1158 01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:32.519 terrible tools. 1159 01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:37.239 How different a coach are you as a head coach 1160 01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:40.239 from your time when you did it in Tulsa? How 1161 01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:43.719 different an individual are you coming last time you were 1162 01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:45.719 a head coach to this time as a head coach? 1163 01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:49.960 Well, the person remained the same because I can't change 1164 01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:51.920 who I am, so the person remains the same. But 1165 01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:55.960 I've learned like lessons along the way regarding the football 1166 01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:58.039 of how you want to do things or you don't 1167 01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:00.320 want to do things things you want to change the person. 1168 01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:02.880 Men's just say because I am where am I like 1169 01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:05.519 a fun environment, I like a light environment because I 1170 01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:08.519 think people thrive in that sort of environment, So the 1171 01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:11.199 person will always mean the same, but the ideas will 1172 01:03:11.639 --> 01:03:12.719 just change a little bit. 1173 01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:16.880 When you got to come and play in the United States, 1174 01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:19.760 you got to see a different version of Major League 1175 01:03:19.800 --> 01:03:24.119 Soccer to where it is now to where you've got. 1176 01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:27.760 You've got all of these different markets that are playing MLS, 1177 01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:30.000 whether it's MLS or MLS Next Pro. What's it been 1178 01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:32.960 like for you to see the game grow to where 1179 01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:36.840 you are? You're in a high point, North Carolina and 1180 01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:39.719 you have a professional franchise that you're in charge of. 1181 01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:41.280 What's it been like for you to see the game 1182 01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:43.960 grow from when you first came over from being a 1183 01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:49.320 bantam to you know, be a hey, don't hey, don't 1184 01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:50.920 think I don't know about Bradford City. 1185 01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:51.159 Brother. 1186 01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:55.719 Look I've got the jersey stashed away in my stack 1187 01:03:55.800 --> 01:04:00.159 in jerseys with brad I know, I know all about. 1188 01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:02.360 Kind of stuff. So what's it been like. 1189 01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:04.239 What's it been like for you to see the game 1190 01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:08.440 grow to where it's not just La New York. 1191 01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:11.679 No, it's good. 1192 01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:16.440 It's good because growth, I think for the age we're 1193 01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:19.320 living in, growth is good and it's a natural process 1194 01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:21.360 for growth. So it's good to see the game growing, 1195 01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:25.119 and it's not only garnering interest from inside the US, 1196 01:04:25.159 --> 01:04:28.119 but now the MLYS is making its name outside of 1197 01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:30.639 the US and starting to become a force to be 1198 01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:31.719 reckoned with. Uh. 1199 01:04:32.159 --> 01:04:33.400 I've loved where the. 1200 01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:36.119 MLYS is going because when we played, you know, we'd 1201 01:04:36.159 --> 01:04:38.559 have to jump on a commercial flight and go to 1202 01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:39.320 where we're going. 1203 01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:40.960 Now they take private flights. 1204 01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:44.119 So hey, this is why we work so hard because 1205 01:04:44.119 --> 01:04:45.800 we want to get back to the MLS because we 1206 01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:47.360 want to be on private flights too. 1207 01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:50.880 But rather you know what these games is. You got 1208 01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:53.320 the Eastern Conference. Sometimes you might need one. 1209 01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:57.519 Yeah, but it's good the growth of the game to 1210 01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:01.519 see because I was in Tulsa and Smith Tosa, Oklahoma. 1211 01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:05.559 It's a huge market for soccer. You soccer is big 1212 01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:06.639 in Tosa, Oklahoma. 1213 01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:09.000 So the game must come a very very long way, 1214 01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:11.280 and I think it has even a far further away. 1215 01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:15.199 When you're in high Point, are you are you recognized 1216 01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:15.800 right now? 1217 01:05:15.800 --> 01:05:16.440 Do you sit there? 1218 01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:19.320 Can you can you go into the food line and 1219 01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:22.039 get your shopping done? Or do you have to hand 1220 01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:25.079 out index cards and shake hands and sit there and 1221 01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:28.039 go hey, you know, be a season ticket holder, how 1222 01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:30.639 are you when it comes to the public right now 1223 01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:31.719 in high Point. 1224 01:05:32.480 --> 01:05:36.960 Unfortunately it hasn't reached that level yet, So I'm good 1225 01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:39.159 to go wherever, and nobody knows who I am, so 1226 01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:41.559 we're working for it to get to that level. But 1227 01:05:41.960 --> 01:05:45.599 right now I'm pretty good. Nobody recognizes me and I 1228 01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:47.239 do my shopping myself nobody. 1229 01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:49.119 I'm just a regular Joshmon. 1230 01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:51.280 Dnavin Rigget's the new head coach for Carolina Core, hanging 1231 01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:53.239 out with us hereal in the Morning show as he 1232 01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:55.519 gets ready for his first training camp as being the 1233 01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:58.159 man large and in charge for MLS next pro in 1234 01:05:58.159 --> 01:06:01.440 the Eastern Conference in twenty twenty five. When it comes 1235 01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:04.519 to your philosophy, now I know that, you know, we 1236 01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:06.599 got to you know, we get to find out from 1237 01:06:06.599 --> 01:06:09.599 Michael Parkhurst when he's a mentor. He takes a very 1238 01:06:09.599 --> 01:06:12.840 holistic three hundred and sixty degree approach to everything when 1239 01:06:12.840 --> 01:06:16.719 it comes to your philosophy and how you attack things. 1240 01:06:17.400 --> 01:06:19.760 When someone walks in the door for the first time 1241 01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:22.559 and they look at practice for Carolina Core, they look 1242 01:06:22.599 --> 01:06:25.400 at the roster for Carolina Core and see the certain 1243 01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:27.760 kind of individual that you want to have compete In 1244 01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:31.119 twenty twenty five. How would you describe your philosophy to 1245 01:06:31.239 --> 01:06:34.199 someone who hasn't seen you as a coach. 1246 01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:40.639 Well, do you see a group of players that enjoy 1247 01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:44.559 being around each other? So first, the environment has to 1248 01:06:44.599 --> 01:06:47.360 be that kind of environment where it's a family environment 1249 01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:49.199 where we look out for one another, and then we 1250 01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:51.519 play for each other. So no, when we translate that 1251 01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:55.360 to the field, they see hungred individuals. Every practice would 1252 01:06:55.360 --> 01:06:58.679 be like a game because the practice is supposed to 1253 01:06:58.679 --> 01:06:59.800 be harder than the game. 1254 01:07:00.039 --> 01:07:02.360 As if we practice hard, we make the game easy. 1255 01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:04.400 Because I have something I used to tell my goal 1256 01:07:04.559 --> 01:07:07.199 is we might dive two hundred times in practice just 1257 01:07:07.199 --> 01:07:10.119 to dive once in a game. So we just create 1258 01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:14.840 that mentality, that philosophy that hey, we're preparing just two 1259 01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:17.280 hundred times just to do one thing, to do it well. 1260 01:07:17.519 --> 01:07:19.199 So with the team, it's the same thing. 1261 01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:21.320 It's going to be a team that when you see 1262 01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:24.719 as practice, it's going to seem like it's a real game. 1263 01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:26.800 We're going after each other, we're pushing each other, we're 1264 01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:30.119 driving each other. So first we create that environment where 1265 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:32.159 we work for each other, then we bring it on 1266 01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:34.320 the field where we play for each other. So you're 1267 01:07:34.360 --> 01:07:36.920 going to see a cohesive unit fighting and working. 1268 01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:39.039 And I know at the same time, though, you're looking 1269 01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:42.159 for a specific kind of individual to be a part 1270 01:07:42.199 --> 01:07:46.599 of that roster that that can embody what you're looking 1271 01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:50.679 for and have it, you know, right but right on 1272 01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:53.920 the right, on the breast. They've got to have it here. 1273 01:07:54.639 --> 01:07:58.159 When what's it like for you when your phone blows up? Hey, 1274 01:07:58.239 --> 01:07:59.760 I want to come and play a high Point? I 1275 01:07:59.800 --> 01:08:01.639 want to I want to come and play Carolina Core. 1276 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:05.119 What's it like having your phone blow up for players 1277 01:08:05.159 --> 01:08:07.800 that are interested in wanting to be a part of 1278 01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:08.840 what you're trying. 1279 01:08:08.519 --> 01:08:09.199 To build. 1280 01:08:11.039 --> 01:08:13.679 Now, just when the phone goes, it goes non stop. 1281 01:08:13.719 --> 01:08:16.119 So the thing is, there are a lot of talented 1282 01:08:16.119 --> 01:08:18.800 players out there. It's like a lot of talented players 1283 01:08:18.840 --> 01:08:21.600 out there, But sometimes it's just beyond the talent, it's 1284 01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:23.640 what kind of person you are, Because yes, you have 1285 01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:26.039 the talent, but what kind of person are you? Can 1286 01:08:26.119 --> 01:08:28.000 you fit into what we're trying. 1287 01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:28.399 To build here? 1288 01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:31.560 So yes, of course talent is very important in this 1289 01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:34.960 support that we play, but also what kind of person 1290 01:08:35.039 --> 01:08:38.399 are you? Can you get along with teammates in adversity? 1291 01:08:38.520 --> 01:08:41.479 How do you react to adversities. So also the person 1292 01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:43.439 that comes with the talent is very important to us, 1293 01:08:43.439 --> 01:08:47.399 So I make sure I tell everyone that's hitting the 1294 01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:50.119 phones up.

I don't know if 1417 01:14:54.239 --> 01:14:59.760 it was Fort Lauderdale or not, but it was in Miami. 1418 01:15:01.119 --> 01:15:04.039 The Jesse Marsh said this about the Canadian men's national 1419 01:15:04.039 --> 01:15:06.159 team yesterday, once again, courtesy of our friends at Major 1420 01:15:06.239 --> 01:15:06.760 League Soccer. 1421 01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:09.880 First, we tried to have a January camp, and the 1422 01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:13.039 stark reality is just financially we're not in a position 1423 01:15:13.079 --> 01:15:16.000 as a federation to support a January camp yet without 1424 01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:17.720 having the kind of opponents. 1425 01:15:17.279 --> 01:15:18.319 To help support that. 1426 01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:22.840 So we put a lot of effort in the September 1427 01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:26.119 October November time period to see if we could make 1428 01:15:26.159 --> 01:15:28.840 it happen, and a lot of it was because like 1429 01:15:28.880 --> 01:15:31.000 the US has used it over years, this was the 1430 01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:34.359 blueprint for me too. With the Canadian group is trying 1431 01:15:34.399 --> 01:15:38.359 to unearth some good young talents that are playing domestically 1432 01:15:38.439 --> 01:15:41.800 in the CPL and with the MLS and finding a 1433 01:15:41.800 --> 01:15:43.840 way to incorporate them into what we're trying to do 1434 01:15:43.880 --> 01:15:46.640 with the national team and seeing if they had potential 1435 01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:50.319 to rise in that group and be considered for what 1436 01:15:50.359 --> 01:15:52.640 we might be able to include with the first group. 1437 01:15:52.720 --> 01:15:53.640 So it's a bit of a. 1438 01:15:53.600 --> 01:15:56.279 Shame that we weren't able to accomplish that this year, 1439 01:15:56.840 --> 01:15:57.560 but I'm. 1440 01:15:57.439 --> 01:16:06.920 Hopeful Jesse Marsh, Ladies and gentlemen, so that's Jesse Marsh 1441 01:16:07.319 --> 01:16:13.399 yesterday at Media Day and he said that outside of 1442 01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:16.640 that quote, he and Kevin Blue, General Secretary of Canada Soccer, 1443 01:16:17.600 --> 01:16:22.119 have been tireless and trying to do fundraising to help 1444 01:16:22.159 --> 01:16:24.920 elevate financially what we can achieve with the entire national 1445 01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:29.920 team program for men and women. Canadian men, currently ranked 1446 01:16:29.920 --> 01:16:31.640 thirty first in the world, will be competing for two 1447 01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:34.640 trophies this year Nations League Final four March, in the 1448 01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:38.840 Gold Cup in June and July. Marsh also reiterated Canada 1449 01:16:38.880 --> 01:16:42.000 Soccer is also working on friendlies against sides from South America, Africa, 1450 01:16:42.039 --> 01:16:43.000 Asia and Europe. 1451 01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:44.840 Quote. 1452 01:16:46.439 --> 01:16:48.720 Obviously, a lot of teams when we need matches, are 1453 01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:50.479 trying to qualify for the World Cup. So you've had 1454 01:16:50.479 --> 01:16:52.479 to be creative at kind of understanding which teams can 1455 01:16:52.479 --> 01:16:55.880 be available, and then how to create a schedule and 1456 01:16:55.920 --> 01:16:58.319 then still find ways to play in Canada, to play 1457 01:16:58.359 --> 01:17:01.439 in different spots in Canada. So there are so many 1458 01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:03.760 varial bulls. But I feel like we're in a good place. 1459 01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:06.039 I think we're on track for some really good opponents. 1460 01:17:06.079 --> 01:17:06.680 End quote. 1461 01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:13.800 He says twenty twenty four was about getting to know 1462 01:17:13.920 --> 01:17:18.039 his team, so much of it will be about establishing 1463 01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:19.920 exactly how we're going to become who we want to 1464 01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:21.119 be for twenty twenty six. 1465 01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:22.439 I have a thought. 1466 01:17:22.439 --> 01:17:24.239 I'm holding on to it till the end of this quote, 1467 01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:27.920 and everything from incorporating a few more dual nationals to 1468 01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:31.199 incorporating a few more individual younger talents into the player pool, 1469 01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:33.600 and making sure that we are addressing everything we need 1470 01:17:33.640 --> 01:17:35.760 so that by the summer of twenty six we know 1471 01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:37.920 exactly which players we are going to need and who 1472 01:17:37.920 --> 01:17:39.680 we are so that we can do the best we 1473 01:17:39.720 --> 01:17:41.960 can to represent Canada in a home World Cup. 1474 01:17:41.960 --> 01:17:48.600 That will be the most important all right, end of paragraph. Thought. 1475 01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:55.520 So you're trying to establish exactly how you're going to 1476 01:17:55.520 --> 01:17:57.279 become who you want to be for twenty six. 1477 01:17:59.279 --> 01:18:03.560 How can you do that without camps? 1478 01:18:06.239 --> 01:18:10.800 You're trying to incorporate more dual nationals and individual younger 1479 01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:16.039 talents into the player pool. If you don't have camps 1480 01:18:16.079 --> 01:18:21.399 and you don't have friendlies, how can you show empirical 1481 01:18:21.479 --> 01:18:26.119 evidence to a dual national? Hey, we want you to 1482 01:18:26.119 --> 01:18:27.720 be a part of this, be a part of what 1483 01:18:29.399 --> 01:18:31.720 be a part of this program? Well, who are you playing? Well, 1484 01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:34.359 we didn't play why not, because we're having problems raising 1485 01:18:34.399 --> 01:18:37.560 money to play you know, friendlies in all of these matches. 1486 01:18:40.640 --> 01:18:42.920 I feel like Canada continues to chase its tail. 1487 01:18:43.039 --> 01:18:43.239 Here. 1488 01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:48.079 You didn't have camps because you didn't have the money 1489 01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:59.079 to properly fund facilities and bring players in, et cetera. 1490 01:18:59.359 --> 01:19:04.520 But what you did is you've had the Major League 1491 01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:15.039 Soccer owners subsidize the hiring of a coach, Yet you 1492 01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:19.439 don't go from the bottom up in trying to build 1493 01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:24.239 infrastructure and player opportunities. You hire a coach and then 1494 01:19:24.279 --> 01:19:26.399 you have nothing for the coach to do except perhaps 1495 01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:29.079 possibly travel the planet trying to look at players and 1496 01:19:29.119 --> 01:19:30.760 convince them to try to be a part of something 1497 01:19:30.920 --> 01:19:32.560 when you don't have matches that they can be a 1498 01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:34.399 part of because you don't have the money to put 1499 01:19:34.439 --> 01:19:35.119 the matches on. 1500 01:19:36.199 --> 01:19:37.439 Am I missing something here? 1501 01:19:40.079 --> 01:19:43.479 This is? This is circle? This is circle logic. Here, 1502 01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:47.520 this is circular logic. And he did make a point 1503 01:19:47.560 --> 01:19:49.560 to talk about the Canadian Premier League and folks like 1504 01:19:49.560 --> 01:19:54.279 Shola Jamo and Quasi Poku and the local developments such 1505 01:19:55.079 --> 01:20:02.840 but so jesse Marsh, Jesse Marsh continues to confuse me, 1506 01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:07.720 and so let me bring Jared in Hi, Jared, I'm 1507 01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:09.800 confused by Jesse Marsh. 1508 01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:12.319 I'm not as confused by Jesse Marsh as I am 1509 01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:18.680 just perpetually disappointed with the way Canada is right now. 1510 01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:19.640 Does it make sense? 1511 01:20:19.800 --> 01:20:23.840 Yeah, no, it's he's hopeful funds will be available for 1512 01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:31.399 future January camps. There weren't any camps, So how can 1513 01:20:31.439 --> 01:20:34.880 you bring in players for a new coach who's been 1514 01:20:34.920 --> 01:20:38.119 subsidized I imagine the staff's been subsidized as well by 1515 01:20:38.159 --> 01:20:41.479 Major League Soccer. He's got the corporate you know, he's 1516 01:20:41.520 --> 01:20:43.960 got the he's got the tenured professorship, as Bart says, 1517 01:20:45.880 --> 01:20:46.159 but you. 1518 01:20:46.199 --> 01:20:47.359 Ain't got nothing going on. 1519 01:20:49.199 --> 01:20:53.159 And it's like it it makes your it makes my 1520 01:20:53.399 --> 01:20:57.960 head hurt where you're you're trying to sit there and 1521 01:20:59.039 --> 01:21:01.680 you you bring and you bring in a manager, but 1522 01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:04.760 you don't pay for the infrastructure. 1523 01:21:04.840 --> 01:21:07.399 So the manager can have for things, have things to do. 1524 01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:10.760 So anyway, it was it was one of those head 1525 01:21:10.800 --> 01:21:14.600 splitting was a head splitting moment yesterday and I'm like, seriously, 1526 01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:15.039 come on. 1527 01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:19.119 Yeah, it's and to Bart's point, like the problem isn't 1528 01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:21.359 Jesse so much as Canada, Like Jesse is going to 1529 01:21:21.399 --> 01:21:27.239 shoot off of the mouth. He's he's just just what 1530 01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:30.079 he's gonna do. I think we've established that about him 1531 01:21:31.359 --> 01:21:35.039 from when he, you know, kind of shot from the 1532 01:21:35.119 --> 01:21:42.079 hip about US soccer. I won't say that he completely 1533 01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:45.800 obliterated his chances of ever managing this country, because yeah, 1534 01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:48.039 I think it's I think it's foolish to close doors 1535 01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:50.680 like that. It's petty and foolish to close doors like that. 1536 01:21:51.439 --> 01:21:54.079 But man, he made it. Gon't make it interesting in 1537 01:21:54.119 --> 01:21:55.920 the future for him to come here with some of 1538 01:21:55.960 --> 01:22:00.000 the stuff he said about US soccer, some of the truths, 1539 01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:04.920 but not like is it a meritocracy. Nepotism is not dead, 1540 01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:11.359 Let's put it that way. Yeah, Canada is just like 1541 01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:15.479 Canada is its own chaotic problem. And no matter what 1542 01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:17.960 Marsh wants to say or has to say, or how 1543 01:22:17.960 --> 01:22:19.560 he has this manut, he has a tough job at 1544 01:22:19.640 --> 01:22:24.359 edit it. He's being asked to kind of take spare 1545 01:22:24.439 --> 01:22:27.720 parts and put together something that works. And yeah, there 1546 01:22:27.760 --> 01:22:31.640 are some really good parts there, Like we know Canada 1547 01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:36.760 has some amazing pieces, but when they can't even fund 1548 01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:41.800 it January at Camp, Yeah, there are there are deeply 1549 01:22:43.039 --> 01:22:44.319 deeply seated problems. 1550 01:22:44.760 --> 01:22:53.279 Yes, speaking of teams in Major League Soccer in Canada. Apparently, 1551 01:22:53.319 --> 01:22:57.640 according to Tom Bugger over at GMS, Robin Frazier is 1552 01:22:57.680 --> 01:22:59.960 going to be the next head coach for Toronto FCA. 1553 01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:08.880 So Robin Fraser, not Jim Curtin, not not not Jim 1554 01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:11.880 Curtin or anybody else. Apparently it's going to be Robin 1555 01:23:12.000 --> 01:23:14.039 Fraser that is going to be named the new head 1556 01:23:14.039 --> 01:23:14.920 coach in Toronto. 1557 01:23:16.319 --> 01:23:18.720 Sounds like I don't know if you've talked. I know 1558 01:23:18.760 --> 01:23:21.239 I haven't really been in the last week or two 1559 01:23:21.920 --> 01:23:26.439 over the holidays, but it sounds like Jim Curtin is 1560 01:23:26.520 --> 01:23:28.760 not going to take any job right now. He's just 1561 01:23:28.760 --> 01:23:36.600 gonna lay it out. That said, you also have the 1562 01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:38.479 Vancouver job as the last job opening. 1563 01:23:39.039 --> 01:23:44.560 Yes. Yeah. 1564 01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:47.720 And Giovanni seven, I said, was the other finalist for 1565 01:23:47.800 --> 01:23:49.399 Toronto and as a finalist for Vancouver. 1566 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:50.359 Yeah. 1567 01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:53.159 Well, and this is and we're going to talk to 1568 01:23:53.359 --> 01:23:57.760 and we talked to Nico yesterday. I will I will 1569 01:23:57.760 --> 01:24:03.079 say this that there is a there's a lot of 1570 01:24:03.199 --> 01:24:05.520 angst north of the border. And you know that I 1571 01:24:05.239 --> 01:24:08.640 that I do some pundit segments north of the border. 1572 01:24:09.600 --> 01:24:11.880 There is a lot of angst north of the border 1573 01:24:12.680 --> 01:24:15.920 that the White Caps will not exist north of the 1574 01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:19.560 border when they get their new owner, that they will 1575 01:24:19.600 --> 01:24:24.680 be down here in the state. Don't know, but everybody's like, 1576 01:24:25.039 --> 01:24:26.840 we don't think they're going to stay here in Vancouver. 1577 01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:29.039 Could be San Antonio, could be Vegas. 1578 01:24:30.239 --> 01:24:36.439 Yeah, yeah, so I mean it's yeah. So there's a 1579 01:24:36.479 --> 01:24:39.239 lot of angst going on right now in Vancouver. So 1580 01:24:39.279 --> 01:24:41.720 they're going to hire so they so they're going to 1581 01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:45.279 hire a coach in Vancouver. Vanny Startini should have been 1582 01:24:45.279 --> 01:24:48.920 protected at all costs, but apparently he wasn't. The whole 1583 01:24:49.159 --> 01:24:52.479 estate tax issue thing was what is one of the 1584 01:24:52.479 --> 01:24:56.000 big stumbling blocks for the current ownership group that's looking 1585 01:24:56.039 --> 01:25:00.359 to find a buyer because they invested very little in 1586 01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:02.720 purchasing the white Caps. The value of the white Caps 1587 01:25:02.720 --> 01:25:06.199 obviously is nine figures to the left of the decimal, 1588 01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:10.399 and so the family was concerned about a state taxes 1589 01:25:10.479 --> 01:25:13.520 and everything that would come down come raining down upon 1590 01:25:13.560 --> 01:25:18.000 the family once the owner and the man at the 1591 01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:20.960 top of the family pyramid would pass away, and so 1592 01:25:21.039 --> 01:25:22.640 that's why they put the team on the market. They 1593 01:25:22.640 --> 01:25:24.520 didn't want to have to worry about a state taxes 1594 01:25:24.560 --> 01:25:28.399 coming up down the line for the family of the 1595 01:25:28.439 --> 01:25:29.199 ownership group. 1596 01:25:31.439 --> 01:25:35.600 So to to Bard's point, we should absolutely keep the 1597 01:25:35.680 --> 01:25:38.039 name white Caps wherever they go. Let's take this back 1598 01:25:38.680 --> 01:25:41.520 to the NBA style where we don't change the name, 1599 01:25:42.119 --> 01:25:46.760 like Utah Jazz Jazz about the state of Utah, the 1600 01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:51.760 Lakers originally coming from Minnesota. Let's just keep the names 1601 01:25:52.720 --> 01:25:55.359 because I want to confuse the next generation the same 1602 01:25:55.359 --> 01:25:58.720 way I was confused, and I'm like, what about what 1603 01:25:59.159 --> 01:26:05.319 about Utah screams Dave Brubeck exactly? And what about Los 1604 01:26:05.319 --> 01:26:09.039 Angeles screams Lakes? Because I was confused aby all this. 1605 01:26:09.119 --> 01:26:11.399 So just keep the name the same, yes, like. 1606 01:26:11.640 --> 01:26:14.600 Do the white Caps, but do it in like what's 1607 01:26:14.680 --> 01:26:19.119 the least white capped here, Topeka, Kansas. 1608 01:26:19.279 --> 01:26:24.079 Oh, there you go, the Yeah, the Topeka white Caps. 1609 01:26:24.840 --> 01:26:26.439 Uh you know, it would be. 1610 01:26:26.800 --> 01:26:30.039 Like the Manhattan Kansas white Caps, a little big. 1611 01:26:29.880 --> 01:26:32.239 Apple, the little big Apple Caps. 1612 01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:38.600 Yeah, just like just have like like like Manhattan Kansas 1613 01:26:38.640 --> 01:26:41.640 gets the white Caps and they just have to keep 1614 01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:41.920 the name. 1615 01:26:42.039 --> 01:26:44.600 That's and they play at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. 1616 01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:45.039 Oh. 1617 01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:48.119 Absolutely, it becomes a fortress of American soccer. 1618 01:26:48.479 --> 01:26:48.640 YEA. 1619 01:26:49.199 --> 01:26:54.319 Even like it to the point where like college only 1620 01:26:54.359 --> 01:26:58.199 college football fans can explain why it's a fortress. Yeah, 1621 01:26:58.319 --> 01:27:01.960 even even soccer fans can't explain it. They have to 1622 01:27:02.039 --> 01:27:05.239 call in college football people to explain why it's fortress 1623 01:27:05.279 --> 01:27:08.199 and why when it happens. Bill Schnyder will somehow get 1624 01:27:08.359 --> 01:27:10.600 hired to coach Kansas State one more time. 1625 01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:13.039 Yes, he absolutely will. 1626 01:27:13.720 --> 01:27:15.880 And you know, like in the year twenty one thirty eight, 1627 01:27:16.600 --> 01:27:20.399 Kansas will so yes, well, you know it'll be they're 1628 01:27:20.439 --> 01:27:22.760 looking for they're looking for a head coach to replace 1629 01:27:23.359 --> 01:27:25.960 two hundred and twelve year old Chris Cleman.

Twenty one year old 1640 01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:56.920 Dominican international and olympian claimed in December via the end 1641 01:27:56.960 --> 01:28:01.680 of the year waivers. Territory rights Let's see, all right, 1642 01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:03.920 let me see if I can understand this. Signed options 1643 01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:07.000 for twenty section twenty seven claimed in the end of 1644 01:28:07.039 --> 01:28:09.600 your waivers. Originally signed with Houston as a homegrown in 1645 01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:13.600 twenty two after the Dynamo acquired his homegrown territory rights 1646 01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:16.800 from both the Red Bulls and NYCFC. 1647 01:28:17.720 --> 01:28:21.079 The most MLS sentence that I've heard this morning. 1648 01:28:21.399 --> 01:28:24.880 Yes, absolutely true, I've grown rights from two teams. 1649 01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:28.920 Yes, homegrown territory rights from both Red Bulls and NYC's 1650 01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:31.720 signed by the Dynamo as a homegrown after they acquired 1651 01:28:31.760 --> 01:28:35.720 his territory rights from two clubs.

This sounds like at 1654 01:28:45.359 --> 01:28:48.760 the moment, it sounds like how your Valdez is going 1655 01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:53.600 to be perhaps spending time in Huntsville. 1656 01:28:55.039 --> 01:29:01.359 Only until they decide. So let's let's be honest, They're 1657 01:29:01.399 --> 01:29:03.560 going to decide at some point that you know, Joe 1658 01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:05.680 Willis has got to be up for uh god, we 1659 01:29:05.720 --> 01:29:07.680 got to provide Joe Willis some competition the way we 1660 01:29:07.680 --> 01:29:11.760 did with Panico. Yes, that is like he gets some 1661 01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:13.600 starts and then people are like, oh, man, maybe we 1662 01:29:13.640 --> 01:29:15.720 should start to consider Joe Willis, and Joe Willis just 1663 01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:19.319 survives another like career assassination attempt. 1664 01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:22.600 Yes, absolutely true, someone. 1665 01:29:22.279 --> 01:29:24.319 Else to call him, but like, yeah, for like man, 1666 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:26.279 for what was it like the last two or three years, John, 1667 01:29:26.359 --> 01:29:29.439 Like it was like Panico would start games and like 1668 01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:33.439 maybe he should be the one who starts. Yeah, it's 1669 01:29:33.479 --> 01:29:37.319 like Gary Smith was just trying to find a way 1670 01:29:37.359 --> 01:29:39.800 to start him more consistently and then it just never 1671 01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:41.960 suck and it was just trying so hard to make 1672 01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:42.520 fetch happen. 1673 01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:44.199 Gonna I'm gonna give Elliot a shot. 1674 01:29:44.359 --> 01:29:46.640 We're gonna make sure that Elliott gets his opportunities and 1675 01:29:46.640 --> 01:29:47.399 gets his reps. 1676 01:29:47.479 --> 01:29:50.239 Could we think he's ninety minutes fit looking forward to 1677 01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:51.119 it as a goalkeeper? 1678 01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:52.359 I hope he's ninety minutes fit. 1679 01:29:52.600 --> 01:29:55.479 Yes, exactly, can stand there for ninety minutes? Uh. 1680 01:29:55.840 --> 01:29:58.520 Johnny Klein signs with the Charleston Battery this morning, And 1681 01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:03.600 apparently Messi and friends have unveiled the information on their 1682 01:30:03.720 --> 01:30:08.800 twenty twenty five preseason tour, as did Atlanta. So we'll 1683 01:30:08.800 --> 01:30:11.680 get into Atlanta coming up in a bit. So here's 1684 01:30:12.119 --> 01:30:15.359 how it is. January eighteenth, they played Club America at 1685 01:30:15.359 --> 01:30:19.279 Allegiant in Vegas. Eleven days later, and this is what 1686 01:30:20.079 --> 01:30:24.119 this is what Nino was getting into. Yesterday they're playing 1687 01:30:24.279 --> 01:30:29.119 University Universitario di de Portes in the Estadio Monumental and Lima, Peru. 1688 01:30:30.800 --> 01:30:35.600 So they're going from Vegas to Peru, flying from there 1689 01:30:36.359 --> 01:30:41.319 to play Sporting San Miguelito at the Estadio RAML. Fernandez 1690 01:30:41.319 --> 01:30:45.279 Goudieers in Panama City, Panama. Six days later, they're playing 1691 01:30:46.479 --> 01:30:49.279 Olympia at San Pedro Sula, and then they're going to 1692 01:30:49.319 --> 01:30:52.159 play the Purple Team on the fourteenth at the Pirate 1693 01:30:52.239 --> 01:31:01.520 Ship at Raymond James. So it is Vegas, Peru, Panama, Honduras, Tampa. 1694 01:31:02.279 --> 01:31:04.520 That's what Messi and friends are going to be doing. 1695 01:31:04.840 --> 01:31:07.920 What you're describing as a plot to an Ocean's like 1696 01:31:08.039 --> 01:31:09.479 Ocean's fourteen movie. 1697 01:31:09.680 --> 01:31:13.399 There you go, you get you get Danny Ocean, and 1698 01:31:14.119 --> 01:31:16.319 you get Brad Pitt and them trying to figure it out. 1699 01:31:16.319 --> 01:31:17.840 It's like, all right, we're gonna we're gonna take all 1700 01:31:17.920 --> 01:31:20.880 the casinos in all those countries and we're gonna make 1701 01:31:20.920 --> 01:31:26.720 sure that that happens. Atlanta United announced their pre season 1702 01:31:27.920 --> 01:31:30.720 and they all before you came on, Jared. We went 1703 01:31:30.760 --> 01:31:34.279 through the coaching staff for twenty twenty four with Ronnie 1704 01:31:34.319 --> 01:31:38.119 Dila as well. So the twenty twenty five pre season 1705 01:31:38.279 --> 01:31:43.159 schedule for Atlanta United at Fort Finley January twenty fifth 1706 01:31:43.199 --> 01:31:47.439 to take on Chattanooga FC. Then February first, they go 1707 01:31:47.520 --> 01:31:53.279 to Protective to take on Birmingham Legion. Then it is 1708 01:31:54.119 --> 01:31:56.800 matches in Bradenton and i MG against the Revs and 1709 01:31:56.920 --> 01:32:00.920 FC Cincinnati, and then it is a closed match at 1710 01:32:00.960 --> 01:32:03.520 the Children's South Care Atlanta training Ground in Marietta taking 1711 01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:10.399 on FCD on February fifteenth. So not quite Vegas, Lima, 1712 01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:15.720 Panama City, San Pedro Sula, Tampa, but for Atlanta, it 1713 01:32:15.840 --> 01:32:20.039 is Chattanooga, Birmingham IMG, IMG and the Children's South Care 1714 01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:22.399 of Atlanta training Ground. So that's the pre season schedule 1715 01:32:22.479 --> 01:32:26.039 for Atlanta United this season for Ronnie Diland. 1716 01:32:28.199 --> 01:32:31.720 Yeah, you're getting I think you're you're kind of you're 1717 01:32:31.760 --> 01:32:33.600 hitting the your thre in the needle here where you 1718 01:32:33.680 --> 01:32:35.960 are doing your local matches, where you're reaching out to 1719 01:32:36.039 --> 01:32:40.439 the teams that are nearby you. Chattanooga, Birmingham, your closest 1720 01:32:40.439 --> 01:32:45.359 major cities. They have clubs and Chattanooga is a major 1721 01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:46.119 city in this sense. 1722 01:32:46.439 --> 01:32:46.680 Yes. 1723 01:32:48.279 --> 01:32:49.920 The only other one I would love to see them 1724 01:32:49.960 --> 01:32:52.880 do in the future is to get down to Statesboro. Oh, 1725 01:32:53.039 --> 01:32:56.399 build that and build that connection. But then otherwise you're 1726 01:32:56.520 --> 01:32:58.720 scrimmaging with n LS teams, which is what you should be. 1727 01:32:58.760 --> 01:33:01.199 You should be challenging yourself in putting yourself through your 1728 01:33:01.199 --> 01:33:05.760 paces pre season, which granted, dude, they'll they'll be put 1729 01:33:05.800 --> 01:33:10.319 through their paces. Like, all I can think about is 1730 01:33:11.399 --> 01:33:19.680 the uh Bobby Boswell quote where he talked about playing 1731 01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:21.960 under tap time. He's like, man, there were like multiple 1732 01:33:22.720 --> 01:33:25.800 complaints to the Players Association about how much we had 1733 01:33:25.800 --> 01:33:28.239 to train and run and how much we had to work, Like, yeah, 1734 01:33:29.159 --> 01:33:35.640 was about to come back, Dila is not. It's tricky 1735 01:33:35.640 --> 01:33:38.720 whenever you discuss this because people still have the association 1736 01:33:38.920 --> 01:33:43.239 with Gabriel Heinz and the way things. But I was 1737 01:33:43.239 --> 01:33:47.479 gonna run them like he has fitness goals for them. Yeah, 1738 01:33:47.800 --> 01:33:49.800 they have to be in a certain shape, they have 1739 01:33:49.840 --> 01:33:52.159 to be able to do certain things, to be able 1740 01:33:52.199 --> 01:33:54.119 to play a certain amount and to be able to 1741 01:33:54.119 --> 01:33:57.159 which is funny to me because one of my favorite 1742 01:33:57.159 --> 01:34:01.039 players from those Celtic teams was telling Ruggish. Uh, the 1743 01:34:01.079 --> 01:34:04.920 Wizard of Oz, who's this Australian ten. It was very 1744 01:34:04.920 --> 01:34:07.039 gold dangerous and would pop up in cup games and 1745 01:34:07.159 --> 01:34:11.880 just score these amazing goals. Tom Raggish, knife to his throat, 1746 01:34:12.079 --> 01:34:15.920 could not play ninety minutes, just couldn't play minutes to 1747 01:34:16.079 --> 01:34:19.319 give you. He would give you the most scintillating seventy 1748 01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:24.760 minutes you could imagine. But yeah, now that gas tank 1749 01:34:24.800 --> 01:34:29.560 does not feel that high. This is a high performance vehicle. 1750 01:34:29.600 --> 01:34:32.359 We're not putting regular unlettered in this and we're not 1751 01:34:32.399 --> 01:34:36.039 expecting three hundred miles on a tank. Yes, but yeah, 1752 01:34:36.079 --> 01:34:40.039 they'll they'll be. They will have to uh, they'll have 1753 01:34:40.119 --> 01:34:41.000 me in jape for man. 1754 01:34:41.479 --> 01:34:43.560 Yes, absolutely true. 1755 01:34:44.720 --> 01:34:48.640 Now, there there has been uh, there has been some 1756 01:34:48.720 --> 01:34:52.159 talk in the in the twitch pitch and other places. 1757 01:34:53.159 --> 01:34:57.199 Yesterday Major League Soccer actually came out with a mea 1758 01:34:57.199 --> 01:35:05.880 call book and they apologized, apologize they did for prematurely 1759 01:35:06.800 --> 01:35:09.520 posting an article. It could be prematurely, we don't know, 1760 01:35:09.560 --> 01:35:14.039 but they posted an article linking a signing from Celtic 1761 01:35:14.800 --> 01:35:18.720 to Atlanta United. Long rumored, long wished for that kind 1762 01:35:18.760 --> 01:35:20.840 of a thing, and so Major League Soccer posted an 1763 01:35:20.920 --> 01:35:26.680 article after Atlanta had signed, came in Tagashi and brought 1764 01:35:26.680 --> 01:35:30.560 Togashi sign in on a free. The folks at Major 1765 01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:35.479 League Soccer had brought up that Fudahashi Son had in 1766 01:35:35.520 --> 01:35:39.439 fact been signed, which was an error, and so then 1767 01:35:39.520 --> 01:35:43.239 Major League Soccer had to apologize for posting that article. 1768 01:35:44.000 --> 01:35:47.880 And what I wanted to discuss with you with that 1769 01:35:47.920 --> 01:35:50.399 specifically is not the boot, not necessarily the boo boo 1770 01:35:50.479 --> 01:35:58.600 by Major League Soccer, but the window into Celtic as 1771 01:35:59.239 --> 01:36:03.760 a negotiator then going back into how things were and 1772 01:36:03.800 --> 01:36:06.840 all that kind of stuff. So, uh, I just wanted 1773 01:36:06.840 --> 01:36:11.079 to remind folks about them and their their negotiating efforts 1774 01:36:11.079 --> 01:36:11.680 in the past. 1775 01:36:12.039 --> 01:36:13.880 Yeah, they're just kind of a pain to deal with, 1776 01:36:13.960 --> 01:36:17.920 it seems. But it seem I would would qualify this 1777 01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:21.960 also by it seems like you have that existing relationship, 1778 01:36:21.960 --> 01:36:25.840 which should make it easier. MLS full loving the damn 1779 01:36:25.920 --> 01:36:27.840 article as a single entity. 1780 01:36:27.800 --> 01:36:30.560 Yes, the most arguably. 1781 01:36:30.199 --> 01:36:32.960 The most annoying thing they've done in a while. It's 1782 01:36:33.039 --> 01:36:37.560 just so ham handed and stupid. I understand you have 1783 01:36:37.720 --> 01:36:40.720 like articles in the chamber ready to go, but jesus 1784 01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:45.640 those of them, so you have the existing relationship that 1785 01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:50.359 garth worked with them to get Gig in here. One 1786 01:36:50.199 --> 01:36:53.039 one piece of that is missing is that Gigi had 1787 01:36:53.079 --> 01:36:56.479 mentioned that it was pro Spokanegger who came over and 1788 01:36:56.720 --> 01:37:01.119 you know, made the personal visit to you know, sway 1789 01:37:01.199 --> 01:37:03.760 him to come to Atlanta. I don't know who does 1790 01:37:03.800 --> 01:37:06.199 that now. I don't know if that's Chris or if 1791 01:37:06.199 --> 01:37:08.800 it's Arthur or somebody. He goes over there to kind 1792 01:37:08.800 --> 01:37:15.039 of talk to Kyogo see about making that happen. Celtic 1793 01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:18.520 is fifteen points clear. I think they lost to Rangers 1794 01:37:18.840 --> 01:37:23.640 a week ago and then Rangers proceeded to draw two 1795 01:37:23.680 --> 01:37:28.119 straight games because they're kind of inepty right now, Like 1796 01:37:28.159 --> 01:37:30.800 they poured all of their eggs into let's beat Celtic 1797 01:37:31.399 --> 01:37:34.079 three nail and it was like a hilarious thing to watch. 1798 01:37:34.880 --> 01:37:40.000 But look, they're fifteen points clear. They're going for Champions League. 1799 01:37:40.560 --> 01:37:47.199 The trick for them is replacing him because you have 1800 01:37:48.760 --> 01:37:52.479 you have Audamida, who's a twenty twenty three as Northern 1801 01:37:52.479 --> 01:37:56.279 Irish international, came from Norwich for the EFL. That goes 1802 01:37:56.319 --> 01:38:03.279 among you, Yeah, the Championship goes. They have been long 1803 01:38:03.359 --> 01:38:06.720 linked to Mattias feast Garden I think is how he's 1804 01:38:06.720 --> 01:38:14.359 pronounced his name, who's up at Broadby very well thought of, 1805 01:38:14.479 --> 01:38:20.840 like twenty to twenty three year old striker. If that 1806 01:38:21.079 --> 01:38:26.720 move starts picking up steam, I'm kind of watching one 1807 01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:29.680 with the other, you know what I mean. You look 1808 01:38:29.760 --> 01:38:32.960 at if East Garden starts picking up steam to Celtic, 1809 01:38:33.600 --> 01:38:36.159 then that makes me think, okay, well they're getting ready 1810 01:38:36.159 --> 01:38:39.720 to replace a striker. Adam might have started the last 1811 01:38:39.720 --> 01:38:41.199 two games for them, by the way, he came off 1812 01:38:41.199 --> 01:38:42.680 the bench for thirty minutes the other day and to 1813 01:38:42.840 --> 01:38:47.760 no win, didn't score. In fact, the other Japanese players did. 1814 01:38:47.960 --> 01:38:52.319 Who will, Buddy, I will happily take Dyson. If you 1815 01:38:52.399 --> 01:38:55.960 want to shift your focus to like Japanese Tito cool, 1816 01:38:56.479 --> 01:38:58.199 do it because that's kind of. 1817 01:38:58.119 --> 01:38:58.600 What he is. 1818 01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:04.239 He just runs really hard for ninety minutes. He will 1819 01:39:04.279 --> 01:39:07.039 press like an absolute demon. And now and like now 1820 01:39:07.079 --> 01:39:10.760 he's like consistently learned how to finish. But he kind 1821 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:13.760 of has that Tito quality where like he creates more 1822 01:39:13.880 --> 01:39:17.239 chances than you expect because of his speed and his quickness. 1823 01:39:18.199 --> 01:39:21.119 He doesn't finish all of them, obviously, but he created 1824 01:39:21.239 --> 01:39:24.640 but he creates so many just by being so freaking athletic. 1825 01:39:27.319 --> 01:39:28.760 I would happily take that and if you'll want to 1826 01:39:28.760 --> 01:39:32.720 ship focus and go get a striker elsewhere. Also, he's younger. 1827 01:39:32.760 --> 01:39:36.279 I think he's like twenty six, twenty seven, But I'm 1828 01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:41.680 kind of watching the because he's Garden Rumor or anyone 1829 01:39:41.680 --> 01:39:44.199 else who might have bompt up for Rumor to get 1830 01:39:44.239 --> 01:39:49.119 an idea of is this something Atlanta Saltic can get 1831 01:39:49.119 --> 01:39:51.960 across the line, because like, yeah, posting the article's kind 1832 01:39:52.000 --> 01:39:56.560 of dumb, like it happened the other day, but everyone 1833 01:39:56.560 --> 01:40:00.079 here's professionals. I don't think that's going to kill any 1834 01:40:00.079 --> 01:40:01.840 thing out right, And if it does, then I feel 1835 01:40:01.880 --> 01:40:05.560 if that's if that's the thing that breaks it, then 1836 01:40:05.560 --> 01:40:08.119 there was already stuff to break it. Like, I don't 1837 01:40:08.119 --> 01:40:10.119 think that's the one thing to break it. 1838 01:40:10.840 --> 01:40:11.079 Right. 1839 01:40:12.680 --> 01:40:15.920 For someone who has not seen Fudo Hashi san play, 1840 01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:17.000 what does he bring to the table. 1841 01:40:19.399 --> 01:40:24.079 He's more complete striker. Look, Yakamakis was starting at Celtic 1842 01:40:24.119 --> 01:40:30.239 it's Pias Kyogo is hurt, and then when he started 1843 01:40:30.279 --> 01:40:33.560 back it was his starting job to lose scores and 1844 01:40:33.560 --> 01:40:37.079 cup games. Has a penchant for popping up in derbys 1845 01:40:37.239 --> 01:40:42.560 and Champions League games. But smaller than Yakamakis but more complete, 1846 01:40:42.640 --> 01:40:45.399 very good pressing, very good counter pressing, good movement in 1847 01:40:45.399 --> 01:40:51.560 the box, can score with either foot. Just he's he is. 1848 01:40:51.880 --> 01:40:54.560 He's a finisher, like he's an athletic finisher. He has that, 1849 01:40:55.600 --> 01:40:58.960 he has that thing where he just needs one touch 1850 01:40:59.399 --> 01:41:00.920 to get in to space. And I think the game 1851 01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:04.000 slows down for in those moments when it's one B 1852 01:41:04.119 --> 01:41:08.479 one or one B two and he just's He has 1853 01:41:08.520 --> 01:41:14.159 not produced the same numbers under Brendan Rodgers as he 1854 01:41:14.199 --> 01:41:20.399 did under a Pastacoglu. But again, I just like out 1855 01:41:20.479 --> 01:41:24.399 here running the it's like but that to an extent, 1856 01:41:24.600 --> 01:41:26.399 some of that I think is like it's the hell 1857 01:41:26.520 --> 01:41:29.880 Mummy thing man Like it's like Graham Harrell put up 1858 01:41:29.960 --> 01:41:34.720 numbers in Texas Tech system YEP. I mean sometimes it's 1859 01:41:34.760 --> 01:41:44.239 system sometimes it's system related. So yeah, we'll see. I think. 1860 01:41:47.039 --> 01:41:49.199 I think if Atlanta wants to get it across the line, 1861 01:41:49.199 --> 01:41:52.239 they will. This is this is therapy words. I think, 1862 01:41:52.239 --> 01:41:54.319 I feel, I know this is I think, I don't 1863 01:41:54.399 --> 01:41:57.960 feel or know anything. I think if Atlanta wants to 1864 01:41:58.000 --> 01:41:59.600 get him in here and get it across the line, 1865 01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:04.279 he's thirty years old now. I think he just turned thirty. 1866 01:42:04.359 --> 01:42:07.159 Like this earlier this month. Yeah, where he was about 1867 01:42:07.199 --> 01:42:09.479 to just turn thirty. You get three or four good 1868 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:13.800 years out of him at that point. I think his 1869 01:42:14.039 --> 01:42:17.600 movement in the box, like his little quick movements, can 1870 01:42:17.640 --> 01:42:21.760 be very dangerous doing what Ronnie Diler wants out of 1871 01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:25.279 a striker. Do they get across the line? I hope 1872 01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:30.239 so selfishly, But if you don't, then I still think 1873 01:42:30.279 --> 01:42:32.279 your shopping ten to fifteen million for somebody. 1874 01:42:32.600 --> 01:42:34.279 Yeah. 1875 01:42:34.359 --> 01:42:39.439 You know, we had mentioned that earlier this week about 1876 01:42:39.560 --> 01:42:44.199 a shopping spree that involved to Luca and possibly fifteen 1877 01:42:44.239 --> 01:42:48.960 million dollars as well as chasing after a striker. 1878 01:42:49.800 --> 01:42:52.600 But you know, obviously we'll take it, take a peek 1879 01:42:52.640 --> 01:42:57.800 on that, and a player comes from Portugal for eight 1880 01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:02.840 and like sit up in the Apertura and everybody to 1881 01:43:02.880 --> 01:43:06.920 Lucas like ooh, and so then now that player is 1882 01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:13.560 allegedly linked in one article in South in Central America, 1883 01:43:14.760 --> 01:43:17.840 which was then after the first of the year, brought 1884 01:43:17.880 --> 01:43:24.439 back up by an MLS aggregator that has less than 1885 01:43:24.439 --> 01:43:27.439 three thousand followers on the two hundred and eighty character 1886 01:43:27.520 --> 01:43:34.479 app the Mexico newspaper had like seventy eight thousand to 1887 01:43:34.600 --> 01:43:37.399 eighty thousand followers, and they put out that piece of information, 1888 01:43:37.439 --> 01:43:40.359 but then once again aggregated north of the border for 1889 01:43:40.479 --> 01:43:44.079 something less than three thousand followers. So once again this 1890 01:43:44.159 --> 01:43:47.439 is where we remind you here in the month of January, 1891 01:43:48.319 --> 01:43:52.920 on a snowy, wintry Friday in the southeastern United States. 1892 01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:54.520 Check your sources. 1893 01:43:54.640 --> 01:43:57.399 Check your sources, Check your sources, check your followers. 1894 01:43:57.439 --> 01:43:59.880 You have your Tier A, you have your tier S, 1895 01:44:00.199 --> 01:44:01.079 you have your tears. 1896 01:44:01.159 --> 01:44:08.520 Z sort them out, keep an eye on them, follow 1897 01:44:08.560 --> 01:44:13.159 the numbers, file the information away, but don't jump on 1898 01:44:13.239 --> 01:44:18.039 it immediately as gospel and or fact that something is 1899 01:44:18.079 --> 01:44:20.119 going to happen involving an individual. 1900 01:44:20.880 --> 01:44:23.239 Can I give you like another little bit of a 1901 01:44:24.079 --> 01:44:25.119 little bit of thing to. 1902 01:44:25.159 --> 01:44:29.520 Keep an eye on with pez with please do so. 1903 01:44:29.560 --> 01:44:31.520 I want you to pay attention to dates with Kyogo. 1904 01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:41.359 Celtic plays in Champions League this month, so let's see league.

But they play on 1907 01:44:53.800 --> 01:44:56.960 the twenty second in the twenty ninth they have young 1908 01:44:57.000 --> 01:45:02.560 boys Austin Villa. Celtic sitting in twenty first place in 1909 01:45:02.600 --> 01:45:04.439 all the Champions League. The new Champions League. Set up 1910 01:45:04.479 --> 01:45:05.600 whatever the hell it is. 1911 01:45:06.119 --> 01:45:08.840 Yeah, be in the top twenty four and get it. 1912 01:45:08.880 --> 01:45:12.000 Get out of get out of the group stage. 1913 01:45:12.399 --> 01:45:18.079 Roper. You would enjoy this keyboard. All the keys are 1914 01:45:18.159 --> 01:45:20.039 done in the black speech of Mordor from Lord. 1915 01:45:19.880 --> 01:45:20.520 Of the Rings. 1916 01:45:20.760 --> 01:45:21.319 There you go. 1917 01:45:22.239 --> 01:45:25.439 This is this is the most This is my favorite keyboard. 1918 01:45:26.439 --> 01:45:28.840 I digress. They play two games on the twenty second, 1919 01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:31.479 the twenty ninth and Champions League. I don't know whether 1920 01:45:31.439 --> 01:45:35.000 their future is in Champions League, but they'll get two 1921 01:45:35.000 --> 01:45:36.920 more Champions League games out of him before he would 1922 01:45:37.039 --> 01:45:39.880 have to leave on the thirty first. The window opens here, 1923 01:45:40.960 --> 01:45:47.840 so if we don't see more rumors popping up outside 1924 01:45:47.840 --> 01:45:50.439 of this, I'm kind of keeping an eye on this 1925 01:45:50.479 --> 01:45:52.760 timeline because he can play two more Champions Leagues, including 1926 01:45:52.760 --> 01:45:55.960 the Senville Nation on the twenty ninth, and hop on 1927 01:45:56.000 --> 01:45:57.279 a plane comes stateside. 1928 01:45:59.319 --> 01:46:06.399 And also Ropes is wanting to know about Patrick Waya. 1929 01:46:07.680 --> 01:46:12.279 Patrick Waya. If you go to his two hundred and 1930 01:46:12.319 --> 01:46:17.720 eighty character app still lists him at Minnesota United. If 1931 01:46:17.760 --> 01:46:20.680 you go to his ig, you go to his Graham, 1932 01:46:20.800 --> 01:46:24.359 you go to his insta, he's listed as being Atlanta United. 1933 01:46:25.880 --> 01:46:30.079 So there has been there's a lot of Minnesota United 1934 01:46:30.119 --> 01:46:36.720 photographs and he is listed himself. I'm guessing he is 1935 01:46:36.760 --> 01:46:40.880 in charge of his Instagram account as being Atlanta United, 1936 01:46:42.159 --> 01:46:46.600 so you know, following six hundred and forty on the 1937 01:46:46.640 --> 01:46:50.000 IG forty one posts just under ninety four hundred followers. 1938 01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:54.680 But Patrick Wya is listing himself as or someone attached 1939 01:46:54.680 --> 01:46:58.880 to Patrick Waya's social media or part of it is 1940 01:46:58.960 --> 01:47:02.319 listing him as being tied to and associated with it 1941 01:47:02.399 --> 01:47:08.359 Lane United, So that is, uh, that's where it is. 1942 01:47:09.239 --> 01:47:13.000 I haven't seen anything officially involving the two's, any official 1943 01:47:13.000 --> 01:47:15.880 announcements anything like that.

Where on the two hundred and eighty 1950 01:47:41.840 --> 01:47:44.920 he's still listing Minnesota United, So who knows. 1951 01:47:45.359 --> 01:47:47.600 Maybe someone's in charge of one part of his social 1952 01:47:47.640 --> 01:47:48.920 media not the other. I don't know. 1953 01:47:52.239 --> 01:47:55.199 Kind of barts like he's kind of convinced he's not 1954 01:47:55.239 --> 01:47:58.079 actually with it Lande n I just forcing the issue. 1955 01:47:57.760 --> 01:48:00.279 Like, who was it that was?

And 2295 02:07:29.800 --> 02:07:32.279 Bart's like busy in things and so he's got stuff 2296 02:07:32.279 --> 02:07:36.199 to do business wise, so Bart will not be joining us. 2297 02:07:36.520 --> 02:07:37.119 Umharumph. 2298 02:07:38.000 --> 02:07:40.560 Fa Cup does definitely need a golosso show ropes.
