#BlackLivesMatter Episode
Honestly all I can say is “WOW”!!!
Thank you Shaun and Nick for making me uncomfortable but in a thought provoking and eye opening way!!
As a white coach, I have witnessed the subtle and not so subtle racism the esteemed panel of coaches spoke of.
It made me think,did I always speak up about what I saw?
I know most of the time I did but I can’t say with certainty that I spoke up EVERY time!!
I WILL do better!!

Enjoyable content and interaction

I’ve been listening to soccer chat podcasts and participating in #soccerchat on a Wednesday evening. I enjoy listening to coaches talk about their involvement in the game and the numerous topics that come up. It’s a great way to interact with fellow coaches from the U.S. the show is fun and entertaining but also offers great career advice.

Great mix of conversation, both sports and casual topics

Enjoyable conversations with a wide array of guests, including some really impressive soccer coaches, in a format that feels laid-back and enjoyable to listen to.
