Fort Worth Allstars with Coach Montes

Welcome to Chat By The Pitch — the soccer podcast that goes beyond the game.

Hosted by Ian Babcock, Chat By The Pitch is built around real conversations with the people shaping soccer from every angle — coaches, players, parents, club leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, analysts, and innovators. This isn’t a highlight show and it isn’t built around hot takes. It’s about the stories, lessons, challenges, and experiences that actually define the modern game.

Whether you’re a parent trying to better understand youth soccer, a coach looking to grow, a player chasing the next level, or simply someone passionate about the sport, Chat By The Pitch gives you honest, long-form conversations that dig deeper than surface-level opinions.

Every episode explores what really happens behind the scenes:
• The realities of youth soccer culture
• Coaching philosophy and player development
• Leadership and communication
• Parenting athletes in today’s environment
• The mental side of competition
• Building healthy club culture
• Technology changing the game
• The pathway from grassroots to elite levels
• Mistakes, lessons, and success stories from people living the game every day

Guests range from grassroots coaches and academy directors to former professional players, educators, authors, performance specialists, and creators working to improve soccer at every level. Some episodes focus on tactics and development. Others focus on leadership, culture, parenting, business, and the human side of sports.

What makes Chat By The Pitch different is the conversation style. These are not rushed interviews with canned answers. Ian approaches each episode as a passionate soccer parent, coach, and student of the game, creating open discussions that feel authentic, relatable, and educational. The goal is to ask the questions many people in soccer are already thinking about — but rarely hear discussed honestly.

Listeners come to Chat By The Pitch for:
• Real conversations instead of scripted interviews
• Practical insights coaches and parents can actually use
• Different perspectives from across the soccer world
• Stories that inspire growth on and off the field
• Honest discussions about the challenges in youth sports
• A deeper understanding of player development and leadership

If you care about soccer beyond the scoreboard — the people, the process, the culture, and the future of the game — this podcast is for you.

New episodes released regularly.
