EPB Podcast

  I'm joined with professional soccer player, coach and published author, Warren Ukah of @w9soccer on todays episode.  Warren and I's families have been close since I was in middle school and I have always idolized his soccer abilities.  He was one of the only players from my high school that I can remember to play professional directly after, but his journey to get there and his work in youth soccer afterward is even more powerful.  We're talking youth development in America, barriers for minority players and keys to a successful future all on today's pod, TAP IN!

  On this First episode of my weekly topical series "Ball around the world" I discuss the crazy story, overshadowing the Women's World Cup success, surrounding Spanish Football Federation's president, Luis Rubiales, and the years of inherent chauvinism that has brought them to this point. This could be a good opportunity for leaders in the NWSL to grab marquee players and bring them into the American league. Last 5 minutes of the show touches on the never-ending Ronaldo and Messi rivalry and who has had more influence on their current leagues. TAP IN
