The Soccer Specialist
About this episode

One of the biggest obstacles for most players (and a pet peeve for coaches and parents) is training on their own.  Listen in and learn how much training you should be doing, how to make it easy, and how to turn it into a habit that will help you long past your soccer playing career.  Good times!  And there's an appearance from Carli Lloyd, too!  Well, she doesn't actually speak but I talk about a story she told when I met her.  Enjoy!
