  • Funny and informative

    I always look forward to new episodes. The show is funny and informative and I like the personalities of the three coaches. I skip over the NWSL and pro updates though.

  • Great show

    I am always looking for new episodes of the show. Matt and Brian are always good for a laugh and Robbie and Chris (when he’s on) add much value.

    Going to miss the my weekly fix during the winter break.

  • Awesome

    As a women’s college soccer fan i love to see great coverage of the sport of all conferences. You truly are growing the game of women’s soccer and it’s super fun to listen to! Also, can y’all get some current college players on here? Maybe the reigning Mac Herman winner Jaelin Howell?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

College Soccer Nation S7E4 - Washington University's Jim Conlon
Q: What are you looking for in recruits?
I need some athletes that cover a lot of ground, keep the ball on the ground, and versatility to interchange on the field.
College Soccer Nation S7E4 - Washington University's Jim Conlon
Q: What differences do you see between Division II and Division III?
The competitive level, if I'm taking an entire season of 18-plus opponents is a big difference, especially in terms of regionalization which can make things harder.
College Soccer Nation S7E4 - Washington University's Jim Conlon
Q: Why did you take the WashU job originally?
I wanted to pick an institution where I felt like the degree would help the student get somewhere after college and I felt like WashU was one of those schools.
College Soccer Nation S7E4 - Washington University's Jim Conlon
Q: Jim, what makes your team good?
The biggest thing is we really try and break down the personalities and the competing with each other right away on day one.
College Soccer Nations S7E3 - Player Development with Erwin Van Bennekom
Q: What are your thoughts on players leaving college early for professional opportunities?
It's a tough decision; they should only go pro if they are sure they will make an impact, as few return to college once they go pro.
