In this explosive episode, Kristina sits down with Dr. Richard Bucciarelli—sports scientist, performance coach, and founder of Soccer Fitness and Speed Training—for a no-holds-barred conversation that pulls back the curtain on the state of soccer in Canada. With decades of experience on the inside, coaching at provincial and national levels around the world, Dr. Bucciarelli makes one thing clear: Ontario soccer is in serious trouble.

He doesn’t hold back as he calls out the incompetence within the system—from unqualified coaches to poor leadership and a cult-like culture that’s holding the sport back. If you have a child in Ontario soccer, are an athlete, or are simply someone who cares about the future of the game, this episode is required listening.

Beyond the criticism, Dr. Bucciarelli shares powerful insights into how real development should look, the science behind elite training, and what needs to change if Canada ever wants to be a global soccer powerhouse. From South America to Europe, he's seen how it's done right—and he's on a mission to wake up the system here at home.

This episode is raw, real, and rooted in facts. If you're looking for truth, clarity, and a vision for something better in Canadian soccer, it’s all right here.
