Yes, it’s hard to believe. But college coaches are sentient beings too. And they, like other people, have interests and hobbies and enjoy good laughs and good conversation. Why this topic?

Nice. Did I see a column by you in Soccer America on this topic? There was good advice in there. I’m psyched for the podcast…

Good Catch! I am indeed writing a recruiting column for Soccer America these days. Enjoy the podcast. I hope it gives you the sense that talking to college coaches really is actually fun and easy. Just have a normal conversation. Don’t hold back!
