  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I Hate Soccer Jags Show #5 - Pete Pososki, Michigan Jaguars MLS Next Director
Q: What is the goal for parents when navigating MLS Next and Homegrown paths for their kids?
To run their own race, enjoy the journey, and understand that not every player will end up in MLS; many will pursue college, overseas opportunities, or other career paths helped by the experiences and education soccer provides.
I Hate Soccer Jags Show #5 - Pete Pososki, Michigan Jaguars MLS Next Director
Q: How did your role at the Union influence your approach to talent identification and development in MLS Next with the Jags?
The core remains the same: recruit good people, foster leadership, and build a development-focused culture. You learn from mentors, embrace a broad network, and prioritize the weekly development of players over chasing immediate wins.
I Hate Soccer #128 - Paula Kluksdal, Idaho Rush former President and soccer parent!
Q: What are the realities of scholarships and funding in women's college soccer?
There are far fewer fully funded spots than people think; even in larger programs, funding is spread across many athletes, and the number of full rides has changed over time, influencing how families evaluate offers and total cost of attendance.
I Hate Soccer #128 - Paula Kluksdal, Idaho Rush former President and soccer parent!
Q: How did your daughter end up at Ole Miss, and what role did recruiting play in that decision?
Her daughter followed a coach she trusted, did video outreach, attended ID camps when possible, and leveraged local connections to start dialogue with Washington State and Ole Miss; ultimately, scholarship offers and fit—and the chance to pursue her dream school—helped steer the decision.
I Hate Soccer | Jags Show #4- James Renton, Director of Coaching for Michigan Jaguars in Novi, Michigan
Q: Enjoy listening to the conversation with James Renton. How long have you been with Jags now?
