The Offside Podcast

In this episode, Andrew Moullin discusses the four pillars of becoming a professional in any field. He emphasizes the importance of mentality, fitness, tactics, and technique. He explains that mentality is the foundation and requires aligning your mindset with your goals, having the confidence to apply what you learn, and persevering through challenges. Fitness is about building your mind and body together, focusing on the specific physical abilities needed for your goal. Tactics involve understanding your role within the team and how your team plays. Finally, technique is the last pillar and should be sharpened after developing the other three pillars.

Takeaways

The podcast discusses the two types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is defined by three subgroups: mastery, autonomy, and purpose. Tapping into these subgroups can lead to improved engagement, creativity, and prevention of burnout. Studies show that athletes who rely more on intrinsic motivation are more consistent in their motivation. Creating habits out of motivation can help to make good decisions without thinking and create a lifestyle of improvement. The overjustification effect suggests that the introduction and subsequent lessening of external rewards can affect a person's internal desire to perform a task. The speaker is creating a program that encapsulates these concepts.

The mental part of the game is 95% of soccer...

So why do we not talk about it enough? We talk about stats, drills, exercises, gym routines, and types of boots players wear but we don't talk about things like mental health, burnout, depression, performance anxiety. 

That is exactly why I was joined by my good friend Brittney Gibbs. Brittney is a Mental Performance Consultant and I wanted to ask her a few questions that I believe will help you guys take your games to the next level.

Was joined on the podcast by my good friend Myles Englis. Myles is currently working with one of the best basketball programs in the United States, University of Kentucky Men's Basketball. He is a Sports & Exercise Psychologist.

Sitting down with a coach that has coached US Youth National Teams, traveling the world with players like Landon Donovan, Demarcus Beasley, and Eddie Johnson to name a few, is always an honor for someone like myself. It helps that that coach is your father.

In this episode of The Offside Podcast we break down some big questions that I have had as a coach and as a player. As I look back on my life and my career I see some things that my dad has warned or talked to me about that saved me big time. We tackle questions about college as well as the pro game.

If you want to go to the next level, where ever that is for you, this is a great podcast to tune into. If you are a coach or a parent this is going to be a super insightful episode into the dos and the don'ts of one of the most successful coaches in the US College and Club game. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you guys so much for coming back onto the podcast! This episode was a cracker and I had one of my best friends on, Daniel Johnson.  DJ played with me when I was 10-12 Years Old and we have been friends ever since. DJ went on to play at West Ham for 3 years. Was on track for a Pro contract with the mighty hammers, but due to work permit and visa issues he was left out of contract.  He returned to the US and went to college at University of Maryland. After a disappointing, by his standards, he decided that he needed to make a change and get more playing time! He decided to transfer to University of Louisville. This turned out to be an amazing choice and he was given the opportunity to attend the MLS Combine.   At the combine scouts and coaches raved about his nearly FLAWLESS performances and he was drafted by the Chicago Fire with the number 11 overall pick in 2017. It was a difficult road, starting with great promise, but quickly understanding that there was a lot more that goes into this game than just talent alone he decided to make a move.  DJ made a transfer to Championship side Birmingham Legion in 2019 and began to find his form again. However, as I have said on this podcast, there is more to life than just soccer. You must be able to know yourself and the things you find important in life. DJ hung up the boots, at least for now, in 2020.   In the podcast we discuss the importance of developing skills that not only help your game, but more importantly improve and enrich your life  DJ is not a man of many projects from fashion to video analysis, my boy does it all!

Episode 1!

Are you looking for the whole truth about the professional game of soccer?

When I was a young soccer player I was so eager to know what life was like as a pro. I wanted to know everything and I was only being told that it was hard work and that I had to commit. Which is true, but that is only 5% of the game. I started this podcast to take you behind the curtain of the professional game!
