Switchbacks FC became one of the stories of the US Open Cup — defeating Sporting Kansas City, pushing the Colorado Rapids to penalties, and helping unite a growing football culture in Colorado Springs.

But in this conversation with head coach Alan McCann, we go beyond results.

We discuss:

* the emotional Open Cup run

* supporter culture

* building club identity

* organic football growth in America

* community connection

* and what truly makes a football club matter.

A thoughtful conversation on football culture, supporters, and building something bigger than the game itself.
