  • Episode 12 - To Play Or Not To Play - The Decline in Youth Soccer Participation

Also are the best players actually playing at the Collegiate, Professional and National Team levels here in the US? Having been involved in Youth Club Soccer as parent, coach and trainer for a combined fifteen years, I'll be discussing some of the issues plaguing "The Beautiful Game" here in the US.

About Step Up To Challenges Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Hosted by Rich Fernandez, this Podcast discusses and explores how one must step up and confront life's challenges. By identifying, taking ownership of and prioritization of those challenges in your life, you have now committed yourself to trying to physically and mentally overcome those challenges. Overcoming challenges in our lives is hard work and many times you must put in so much time and effort whether it's hourly, daily, weekly or yearly to begin to diminish and chip away at those challenges. Often times people ignore or fail at confronting the many challenges they're faced with in life due to a lack of or flat out bad leadership of themselves and those around them.
