Some issues on this one, but hopefully will be able to resolve for next week.

In the meantime ...

Just watched the Coach Burke interview. Really well done @simplecoach! You asked questions I think we all were curious about, and did a good job drawing Coach Burke out. Should be required listening for prospective Conn players.

Too kind @Another Mom. Truly appreciate the kind words. Really enjoyed talking to him, will do another just before pre-season.... Later this week I am speaking to Jamie Gunderson, HC of the 2021 Women's National Champions, Christopher Newport University.

Today I just premiered a regular season fixture in the 3>1 Premier League where I take down Gettysburg. Quite the battle!

Realize its the women's game, but had a great conversation with Jamie Gunderson, Head Coach of the 2021 Women's National Champions, Christopher Newport University.

Can speak highly enough of this young coach.

Wow. A great interview with Coach Craig Appleby of Johns Hopkins University. Appreciate his time and willingness to talk with me.

This was a true long form interview. I enjoyed it so much, I totally lost track of time. Will probably break it up into three segments at some point.

Morning all. Finished another video. Think I may need some therapy ....

Anyhow, something that's been on my mind since the season ended. Do corner kicks lead to goals. For the amount of corners teams have in a season, I am not sure they are. Hope you enjoy.

Do corners lead to goals or are they wasted opportunities?

Also, I created a YouTube Page. Why, not sure, but I will figure that out.

Wow! This was a fantastic interview! I loved hearing Coach Appleby defend his perceived style of play, and I was surprised to hear him offer an unsolicited opinion on the down years in the mid-10's - would be curious what the players from those teams think about his comments. Also some great insights into the game day on-field decisions that his players are empowered to make. I especially liked the John Carroll conversation and the brief commentary around the Messiah/F&M games. And it's always interesting to hear recruitment stories and how some successful kids seemly fly under the radar so many times (or maybe the better term would be how so many kids truly develop later in their career). And conversely, it sounds like there are some concerns with the next recruiting class.

I would love to hear a similar interview with Coach Wagner @ F&M and see how he responds to the "chaos" style they play.

Thanks @Ejay. Appreciate the thoughts.

I have Coach Wagner on the list, but want to get a little more comfortable with the interview format. Want to be able to focus on the conversation at hand and not worry about the technology, is the image quality ok, are their audio issues .... did I even plug in my computer!

Anyhow, I will at least give him the opportunity. Whether he accepts or not .....
