After many hours lobbying and downright begging, we FINALLY get to visit with the very talented Brooke Becker. Just kidding, she said yes right away even though she doesn't listen to podcasts. Not kidding about visiting with Brooke. We get to hear about Brooke joining her ECNL team, how she trains and being recruited by Troy University. Psst!  Want to know who she is training with now?  Someone new to us!

Dear Parents:  We made it through another season! Time to RELAX and slip into the summer. Mix up a margarita and take a listen as we sit down with Coach Armand Dikranian to talk about his storied soccer family and Coach Armand’s own personal soccer coaching experience from University of Bridgeport to the powerhouse Florida State University program for its 2014 National Championship.  And what the what – he built a soccer app!?!

Remember that time Jason cold called an FIU player to see if she wanted to do our podcast?  Yeah, probably not because this it!

We heard about him over here and then heard about him over there, so we had to reach out to Pedro Goncalves with 2B Elite to get the scoop from one of Tampa Bay’s finest trainers.  This handsome devil did not even speak English when he first came to the States! Let’s learn up on some Brazilian beach soccer and hear some sizzlin' stories about our guest’s soccer adventures and transition to coaching.
