EPB Podcast

Today's episode features Israel Sesay, professional soccer player for the MASL's Empire Strikers and Director of Coaching for Fury Futbol Club in the Inland Empire.  Izzy's story is one you'd imagine to be concocted by Hollywood scriptwriters.  After fleeing his birthplace of Sierra Leone during its infamous civil war, Izzy immigrated to the United States where his raw talent on the soccer field translated to his first pro contract in the MLS at the tender age of 16.  Experiences along his professional journey inspired him to coach youth soccer with an emphasis on development in order to clarify pathways for future soccer stars.  This is an interesting story, TAP IN!

  We have a team of podcasters in today to talk about all the soccer they've watched this past week and the team (or teams) they support.  Can't you only support one team?  We'll talk about that, the effect soccer and sports in general have on pop culture and more. @eatprayball    @iamthomaspierce    @vincentiasfilho     @chanogram_   @ jay_jay_210   @Ash_Aust1n
