@FreddyLA7 This guy done more for the southeast than any amount of propaganda π this is elite tourism btw, getting a real feel for a place and meeting real people rather than just hit the photo ops. Respect
βAnd every four years when the World Cup comes around, we will say that weβd dominate if we had a stronger youth program.β
βAnd will we develop a stronger youth program?β
βWe will not.β
I think the people who think offside is a dumb rule should play a 90 minute 11v11 match as a defender with no offsides, and report back with their findings
People who donβt understand that the outdoor recreation industry generates $1.3 TRILLION in annual revenue in the US alone are not financially literate. Or perhaps literate at all.
Today the nation is hurting. We lost Coach John Beam. A lot of folks met him through Netflix and βLast Chance Uβ but out here in the Bay he was already a legend long before the cameras showed up.
Beam spent decades at Skyline and Laney, built a powerhouse, and brought Laney a national championship. But the wins were never the whole story.
He followed the blueprint laid down by his mentor Stan Peters. Build players, sure, but build men first. Anyone who came through his program knows exactly what that means. He changed lives. He opened doors. He pushed you, challenged you, and believed in you even when you didnβt fully believe in yourself.
His impact runs deep across generations of Bay Area football. And today, all of us who were touched by his work are feeling this loss.
Rest easy, Coach Beam. Your legacy lives on in every player you molded and every life you lifted.
