  • Talon Talk Ep. 46: “Soccer in the Spring” - Derek Marinatos
    On July 24, news broke that no regular-season competition would take place prior to September 18. Weeks later fall sports were pushed entirely to the spring semester. 

    Moving targets and an increased demand for attention to detail has heightened the need for creativity to deliver practice plans and reach student-athletes.

    That plan included multiple zoom meetings, guest speakers and film, connecting concepts they're implementing to those used at the professional level.

    In episode 46 of Talon Talk we speak with men's soccer head coach Derek Marinatos, discussing how he and his program have adapted to the changes required of the program in preparing for an altered season.
