Ep 336: A Bunch of American Soccer Topics with Paul Spacey

3four3 FM

Can coaches be “honest” with players and families, and more broadly is there honesty in the American soccer ecosystem?

I’m joined by Paul Spacey, who I first met over 10 years ago soon after he arrived from England.

Now with over a decade of working in American soccer, he shares a good number of lessons learned.

Topics in the episode include:

• Honesty with players/families?
• The authority of the English accent.
• Challenges with starting and operating a club.
• Are parents the problem, and how can they discern truth from BS?
• US youth soccer consolidation.
• Promotion and Relegation.
• The problem with “journalists”.
• On coaches being rich and maintaining ones motivation to coach.
