Jim Harte is one of the people really fighting to grow soccer in America and he’s spent most of his life working with kids, working in the trenches of helping them learn to love the game. He's a six-time high school soccer state champion in Florida as a coach, and was simultaneously an elementary physical education teacher and club soccer coach for decades in the Tampa area. He’s also the founder of the high school champions league, and he’s the perfect bridge between Tom Byer and the third episode of this little series, which is going to be focused on practical tips for rec soccer coaches. (That third part is already available to paying subscribers on the Patron feed.)

In a couple weeks we (Belz and at least a couple of the grassroots episodes guests) are going to record a 4th episode where we respond to questions and comments. You can send us a voicemail here: https://www.speakpipe.com/scuffedpod

Or, if you don’t want to do that, send us a question here: https://forms.gle/YjdLExcqyyLn5KpK6
