The time that you have all been waiting for! Not only is there the excitement of completing another season of our No Stress Midwest Podcast, but our guest may be one of the biggest ones that we have EVER had on the podcast! To wrap up Season 5 of The No Stress Midwest Podcast our special guest is Jim Curtin, the 2022 Sigi Schmid MLS Coach of the Year (Philadelphia Union)! Back in April of 2022 I was lucky enough to shadow the Philadelphia Union First team and U-17 Academy team (MLS Next Cup Champions). From 1st team down to academy, coaches, players and staff, everything about the organization was top class! Jim went above and beyond anything that I expected. From touring me around the facility, introducing me to the players/coaching staff and even letting me attend the team meetings before the training, Jim made me feel like I was on staff.
We were able to talk about some of his time as a player and a part of the Chicago Fire where he was coached by former USMNT coach Bob Bradley and quite a few of his teammates have taken Head Coach roles around the MLS and Europe. Jim shares his vey humble start as a coach with the Union and how he was able to work his way up the ranks to where he is now, with his team in the Eastern Conference Finals Back-2-Back.
Although there is a since of excitement when completing a season, there also is a sense of sadness. I want to thank all of our listeners and even some new ones we may have picked up along the way. Hope you enjoy the listen and are rooting on the Philadelphia Union Sunday in the MLS Eastern Conference Finals.
