  • Broken Record Warning

    Gary think the USA’s lack of promotion and relegation is the root of all our soccer woes. Agree or disagree I have now summarized every one of his podcasts and saved you from having to listen to more than one.

  • Throwing grenades, walking away

    Another reviewer stated it accurately. So much of this podcast are appeals to emotion rather than backed by data. Anecdotal fallacy and generalizations. Additionally the constant cursing and anger is grating after so many episodes. We are talking about a primarily youth sport here guys…

  • Coach Rory Episode was Amazing

    I stumbled into 3four3 because of Coach Rory’s YouTube page, and I’ve found both to be amazing resources for my coaching experiences. I think anyone coaching youth soccer should definitely visit these sites. It has helped me evolve to the modern game of soccer and away from the old methods I was taught in the 80s and 90s.

    As a parent to 3 soccer kids, who was never into the sport growing up, I'm getting a ton of great perspective. I highly recommend this to parents and coaches.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Live #8: World Cup Variety Show + Your Q&As
Q: How do we know our national team is progressing?
Progress is not just visible on the field; the hosts emphasize the need for irrefutable evidence and hard data, while acknowledging that fans rely on statistics and observable results to judge advancement.
Live #6 – USMNT, CORRUPTION, and Your Questions
Q: What are your thoughts on the Balogun red card and its overturn?
The panel argues Balogun's action was not a red card, but stresses that such disciplinary calls are heavily influenced by subjective human judgment and the broader politics around refereeing.
#426 – Inside the U.S. Soccer C License: Paul Spacey Tells All
Q: Did you have to submit a practice plan or an on-field session as part of the assessment?
Yes, participants had to film several sessions, submit practice plans, and reflect on their coaching, but there were no traditional exams; the process was more about completing the steps and following the prescribed structure.
#426 – Inside the U.S. Soccer C License: Paul Spacey Tells All
Q: Tell us about where the course was and how day one unfolded.
The course was conducted at a college setting near Irvine, with two groups of around 20 coaches; it leaned heavily on lectures and PowerPoint, with the field components being a small portion of the total time.
#425 – Uncommon Youth Soccer Insights: A Deep Dive with Kirk Kinsey
Q: What's the update with the LAFC media thing?
The hosts recount how a press pass was granted, then revoked after editors challenged the coverage, leading to a public confrontation and Seth's firing; the episode uses this to illustrate the complex power dynamics between media, clubs, and league politics.
