Have you been trying to go pro? Have you tried looking for an agent? 

The truth about becoming a pro is that it is very very difficult and you are unlikely to find a team that wants you or needs you. You need to understand what they are looking for and who better to know what that is than an agent? 

 You may have heard a lot of amazing things about agents. How they can get you sponsorships and deals worth millions of dollars! What about REAL agents? How many have you talked to or networked with? What do they actually do on a day to day basis? 

 Nate Leader, CEO of LSMG, a global agency with multiple high profile players that you will know the names of in the future! Worked with the likes of FC Porto to scout here in the US and abroad for new upcoming players. He discusses with me how he identifies players and in particular goalkeepers. We also talk about parents and how they play a huge role in player development for positive and negative reasons.

I have played on many different teams with all types of players. I have played with very young players and I have played with players at the end of their career. I have seen different styles of preparation, different types of training styles and different ways of dealing with adversity

In this episode I sit down with a very special guest. A coach and mentor himself, he focuses on the day to day "controllables" and makes sure that he does his job every single time he steps on the field.

You can learn a lot from Richard Dixon. He is an amazing professional and a guy who looks after his body, mind, and community. A guy I learned from and took guidance from in my career.

Bryhan was recommended to me by my good friend and someone I really look up to, Daniel Johnson from episode 3, and since meeting Bryhan I have been able to take my game to whole new levels

Bryhan is from Atlanta and was coaching at a place called TOCA Norcross. I would go on my off days to train with him and he would train me HARD! I learned a lot during those days and he taught me things like "Training under fatigue" and "How to think more when you get tired." He always brings energy in everything he does and that inspires and motivates me.

I changed it up this week... 

 We have had guests on the podcast lately to talk about the mindset and mental aspects of the game. I wanted to get back to my story and give you guys some insights into what I have been thinking about recently. You are a human being, powerful beyond measure and you have the ability to do great things, but most of us don't. Why?

 In this podcast I want you to think about the daily actions you are currently doing or SHOULD be doing and how they are affecting your life!

If you find value from this podcast, do me a huge favor and share it with 1 teammate!

The mental part of the game is 95% of soccer...

So why do we not talk about it enough? We talk about stats, drills, exercises, gym routines, and types of boots players wear but we don't talk about things like mental health, burnout, depression, performance anxiety. 

That is exactly why I was joined by my good friend Brittney Gibbs. Brittney is a Mental Performance Consultant and I wanted to ask her a few questions that I believe will help you guys take your games to the next level.

Was joined on the podcast by my good friend Myles Englis. Myles is currently working with one of the best basketball programs in the United States, University of Kentucky Men's Basketball. He is a Sports & Exercise Psychologist.

In the podcast we discuss the importance of developing hobbies and skills outside of soccer and how to avoid depression when it comes to sports and exercise.

Sitting down with a coach that has coached US Youth National Teams, traveling the world with players like Landon Donovan, Demarcus Beasley, and Eddie Johnson to name a few, is always an honor for someone like myself. It helps that that coach is your father.

In this episode of The Offside Podcast we break down some big questions that I have had as a coach and as a player. As I look back on my life and my career I see some things that my dad has warned or talked to me about that saved me big time. We tackle questions about college as well as the pro game.

If you want to go to the next level, where ever that is for you, this is a great podcast to tune into. If you are a coach or a parent this is going to be a super insightful episode into the dos and the don'ts of one of the most successful coaches in the US College and Club game. Hope you enjoy!
