  • 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.

  • 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?

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.
