  • Nice podcast, but missing so basic info

    I like listening to these guys, but if you are going to do a podcast on CLTFC, maybe do a little research or get plugged in more to what’s going on. Latest example they are debating if Pep will start or come off the bench for NYRB. It’s been out for a couple days now and Zoren did an interview saying that he won’t start that he needs to get his Visa. It’s just tough to listen to a debate about something that has already been decided. It’s happened a few times in the past. Only want you all to ge... more

  • Best Charlotte FC podcast around. Period.

    You want to really understand Charlotte FC? The ins, outs, trends, tactics? This is the crew for you. Awesome insights, deep dives that have substance and knee jerk post reacts that really bring the vibe and mood of the club and supporters to the forefront. I enjoy the length of the episodes and only complain that we don’t get them more often! Keep up the good work!

  • Re Wire Your Brain, Change Your Life

    I found this podcast about a year ago, and I find myself coming back again, and again. Joseph’s soothing manner, allows me to shut the world off for a few minutes and soak in his advice. The hypnosis sessions are very effective and they have helped me in resolving personal anxieties.

Special Episode: Daniel Wicker (Head of Analytics and Scouting Coordinator)
Q: How has data adoption changed leadership's view of analytics in soccer?
Leadership increasingly trusts data as a standard part of the recruitment and performance process, driven in part by leaders like Dean, Zoran, and Bobby, and by the experience of David Tepper's background supporting data-driven decisions.
Special Episode: Daniel Wicker (Head of Analytics and Scouting Coordinator)
Q: How do you handle data that may be low confidence or scarce for certain players?
They rely on the total package—combining data with video reviews and scouting judgments, and presenting a collective recommendation rather than relying on a single metric.
Special Episode: Daniel Wicker (Head of Analytics and Scouting Coordinator)
Q: What does a professional football club's data team look like?
