  • Motivational & Honest

    This is such a great podcast because it’s real stories of people who make it to the pro level. The stories are awesome, Matt asks the right questions, and it really gives me as a parent of a motivated athlete some insight on the process. Where else do you hear the inside secrets of successful pro soccer players? Nowhere!!
