Road Warrior continues with Episode 8, a conversation between Greg Rubendall and Mia Volpatti, lifelong Livermore soccer product, Southern Oregon collegiate athlete, and high school and club coach.

In this episode, they discuss Mia’s journey from youth soccer to coaching in her hometown, the importance of mentorship and community leadership, and the challenges facing youth soccer in Northern California. The conversation centers on development over ego, transparency in leadership, and building a culture that serves the entire community, not just the top players.
