  • MLS Profiteer

    Thought he was just an interested youth soccer advocate. Turns out he’s just an MLS profiteer, going from one MLS interview to the next, crapping on people trying to improve the game, without any capacity to understand basic economics or the international soccer marketplace. Makes everyone dumber.

  • Relevant Content

    Feels like a Rogan podcast- some good takeaways as you’re having long conversations with players or coaches, but definitely not fact checked so some things are just wrong or biased. Overall tho, I’m really enjoying these. Especially the Michigan ones as I’m learning more about our local clubs. Hope he reaches out to more and more local clubs sporting directors, coaches and players. Keep em coming!

  • Fantastic question!

    I’ve always loved soccer, but ended up down the basketball route. I coach high school and haven’t had the opportunity to have some of the discussions but certainly have the same questions often asked here. Jason, you do a great job of asking the things I have often wondered from recruiters to the different ways kids learn and grow in a sport. Fantastic job!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I Hate Soccer #136 - Kirby Valle, Columbus Force club director

I Hate Soccer #136 - Kirby Valle, Columbus Force club director
Q: What is your role at Columbus Force?
Valle is the club director of Columbus Force and recently took on the same role at Classics Eagles, where she oversees a community-based entry point for families and beginning coaches.
I Hate Soccer 138 - Eric Dutt, Ohio Premier Director of Player Development
Q: How do we get them to be more intentional or at least understand the value of scanning?
Dutt describes Ohio Premier's scan-band program for players ages 11 to 14. The wristbands remind players to scan, give coaches a simple way to prompt the behavior, and help families understand its purpose. Players can earn gold bands as they become more proficient.
I Hate Soccer 138 - Eric Dutt, Ohio Premier Director of Player Development
Q: Can you go into it a little bit? Like, what made it so elite?
Dutt says the Elite Formation Coaching License pushes coaches beyond their comfort zones through expert instruction, individualized feedback, assignments, in-person sessions and peer evaluation. The process encourages coaches to reflect, question their assumptions and improve their practice.
I Hate Soccer #137 Brian Maisonneuve, Ohio State Men's Soccer Coach
Q: What do you think about 17-year-olds going pro and not going to college?
Maisonneuve says each player's path is different. He needed college to develop physically and mature, while some players may be ready to turn pro earlier. He argues players should be judged by their readiness and potential rather than age alone.
