It's time for Season 2 of Simplicity in Performance (SIP) Podcast! This season we are chatting with coaches who work at all levels of soccer in the United States. I don't feel there is a podcast out there who speaks to the coaches who are excelling at our sport in this country. This podcast is an example to find out what makes them tick! Your host is Josh McAllister who has worked in high level soccer for the past 15 years. Josh will use his experience to ask questions that dive below the surface.
