Heads and Volleys Soccer Podcast
By LeeDunneSoccer
The game was played as everyone VS the GK and you could only score with a header or a volley. Simple, right? Wrong. It was complex and fraught with arguments that resulted in 'taking my ball home' or some kind of one-off shot to determine if it was a goal or not. Much like those arguments, this podcast will embrace discussions, trends, and ideas to grow the game, and will not let anyone take their ball home early.

Observations and Role Models -
How are coaches interacting with athletes? Body language and behavior and then interactions with players and the style of play, then relativity of practices to the game.
Humbled by many great coaches that he has had the opportunity to observe.

High School Pride
