Ian gets to the soul of soccer in NTX. Parents and kids constantly have to navigate all the decision points in a very competitive market. It’s been refreshing hearing from the coaches side and their thoughts that can only help and educate parents in their journey.
In Ians “Introduction” podcast his statements that he and his son were “cut from a team” are categorically not true. There is documented communication regarding their decision to leave our team. Ian clearly has a passion for youth sports and I hope his decision to podcast can help him educate and provide the tools to himself and many other youth sports parents.
I enjoyed the questions and answers. Down to heart answers by Derek. For me the podcast was long but I did enjoy hearing what Derek said. I wish him all the success in his journey of soccer.

Ps< I also wish Ian B. the best as Ian continues podcasting. 2022+.
