Steve Axtell: Live from the USC Convention

Steve Axtell: Live from the USC Convention

In this episode, host Josh Tyler interviews Steve Axell, the East Cap Director for Rush Soccer and the men's soccer coach at Cortland University. They discuss leadership, personality tests, and the importance of understanding players' individual strengths and styles. They also talk about the four-year leadership development process at Cortland and the challenges of the recruitment process.

  • The recruitment process should start early to allow for exploration and self-discovery.
  • Success should be defined beyond playing time and statistics.
  • Coaches should be intentional and focused during recruitment events to provide a better experience for players.
  • Leadership development should be a continuous process throughout a player's college career.

Host: Josh Tyler

Guest: Jennifer Gruskoff & Sam Cary

Jennifer Gruskoff: (Founder & Editor in Chief)

"Soccer has been one of Jen’s favorite sports since she played on one of the original AYSO teams in LA back in the day. When her daughter took it up, the game took on a new meaning. The community, culture and lifestyle she became apart of was as fascinating as the game itself. She connected deeply to it and found herself wanting to make art around it. Jen’s background in writing and film has made creating GSN with her “soccer hubby” Michael Raimondi, an exciting adventure, one the hope you will go on with them."

Sam Cary: 

"Sam is currently a Junior at the University of Iowa where she has been a consistent starter through her three seasons with the Hawkeyes. She has been on TopDrawerSoccer’s Freshman Top 100 as well as being a Big Ten Player to Watch for the past two seasons. She also was recognized with CO-SIDA’s All-Region and awarded her team’s Hawk Award (best on the field, in the community, and in the classroom). Cary is a double major in Public Health and Sport Studies and has maintained a 4.1 GPA through her college career. Cary is an intern with Girls Soccer Network and is excited to be a part of this program in order to help the next generation of soccer stars and create a program she wished she had growing up."

Host: Josh Tyler 

Co-Host: Tyler Tomlinson 

Guest: Pablo Toledo: Sporting Project Director for Rush Soccer 

Tyler Aulbur: Director of Athletic Performance: McKendree University

 In Part II of this Two part series, We discuss What should you be doing this summer.  

  • Can you over train?  
  • Can you still take a Vacation this summer?  
  • What about this quote: “When the summer break starts, players need some time to mentally and physically recover from the season. However, what would happen to the physical status of the players if they do not perform any type of structured training during a 4-week summer break? Research has shown that body fat percentage would substantially increase, whereas endurance capacity would substantially decrease It should be noted that a training program would minimize these effects. This is of great importance for trainers and coaches, since players who begin pre-season with high levels of physical fitness are able to improve their physical fitness during the season. In contrast, players who return unprepared are more likely to experience reductions in physical performance during the season."

  • We discuss this quote


What do you think of this quote? “I’m a firm advocate of the 10,000-hour training rule — the theory, as advocated by Malcolm Gladwell and others, that if you truly want to be good at something, you have to devote at least 10,000 to practicing it. That means that if young players wish to become world-class at their chosen sport, they should be training anywhere from 10- 20 hours each week.”
