@MichaelSStarkey@PensacolaFC@Union10FC Year 6 as a @GCPLsoccer club. No league hopping, letter chasing here. Just an ambitious ‘cradle to grave’ club that is building its own ground for our local players.
What’s more entertaining & meaningful?
Earning your way into a higher league by winning games or paying a franchise fee to cut in line?

I’m reminded how good and healthy these youth soccer tournament environments are for young players. Also, I’m so impressed with the diversity and individuality that is shown in our current soccer landscape. @CarliLloyd was surely wrong her latest interview 🤔. Enjoy some pics!
Dear @StubHub
Please help me explain to my #10 how tickets we bought on your site, to see his soccer idol #Messi𓃵 , were abruptly canceled by the seller and possibly relisted for 7-8x more than what we bought them for? I don’t have the heart to break the news to him. #notright
Many youth clubs have next to zero or substandard ⚽️ GK knowledge within the club.
Being a former GK, I was far from knowledgeable about coaching.
I had to go seek out the coaching skills & knowledge.
I had to hone my craft.
It took years.
Many Clubs are letting their GK’s down.
This whole:
Oh we have a former (or current, college GK, they are great!)
statement I hear isn’t coming through in what I’m seeing on the pitch.
Someone with some knowledge looks great when DOC’s & HC have zero knowledge.
Clubs by & large need to do better by their keepers
Then these same clubs sell a bag of bull 💩 to their GK core that they are DI material.
Bad on crosses.
Bad on Distribution.
Inconsistent.
Bad on decision making.
Oh, but look at them fly!
What a save! Must be a DI GK.
Lack of GK education is hurting these kids & is misleading them about their future.
And parents: “we are so lucky to have such great GK coaches at our club”
By what GK knowledge & experience are you making this statement?
Because the proof is in the pudding & In general, it’s not showing up on the pitch across this nation.
Many of Our clubs are letting our GK’s down.
@MLS_Buzz “Family heritage, history, quality, massive brands/clubs.. etc?” All of these passions were built on a pro/rel system. Better storylines w/more consequences, more pain w/relegation, more elation w/promotion. It’s a superior sporting model.
