“Great analysis I really enjoy this podcast and the perspectives. 5 stars! Using a microphone does seem like an unfair advantage as you describe it and I would hate to see this become a trend. Should probably be a rule against it. Also having to play against teams playing up can be frustrating and...”Read full review »

“Really enjoy how he explains why he’s doing what he’s doing & where the thought process starts to get his team or players from a to b growth. Also enjoy the tidbits from his weekend games of what he recognizes good or bad team or opponents wise. Stuff we all experience but can’t always find...”Read full review »

“Haven’t listened in a bit and pulled one up the other day. Not sure what happens to Tom, but the new host just doesn’t get it done for me. IMO, the advice and discussion simply isn’t on point with best practices, methods, and player needs. Shooting discussions way too focused on perceived...”Read full review »

“I’m not sure if the podcast was cut short but episode #310 titled, “Using stats in soccer” had no mention about how to use stats in soccer.. very misleading title and honestly a waste of my time. I thought I was going to learn a bit about using stats and ended up with a bunch of opinions.. really...”Read full review »

“Former KC Legend, Tom was my would coach us if/when one of colleagues and my childhood coach (Andy Barney) wasn’t able to be there. Tom is a good guy.
