In this special episode, we’re joined by Cory Hinthorn, who is the general manager of the USL League Two’s West Seattle Junction FC. Going into their second season, West Seattle Junction are carving out a prominent local presence, providing a platform for collegiate players and aspiring pros to chase their dreams.

We pick Cory’s brain on what it’s like running the show for a League Two side, the values and identity of the club, and the prospect of pro/rel in the USL among a myriad of other topics.
