So much in this ep for players and parents- and a GIVEAWAY! We are very lucky in Australia to have an academy coach of the calibre of Luiz Ruiz. In this jam-packed chat we talk about how the South American game differs from the European and Australian, and how Luis’ childhood challenges of poverty gave him a burning hunger for the game. We talk about why he sees Aussie kids going head to head with European players at age 7-13…but then sees the skill gap balloon out massively in the teenage years. How do we fix that, and the other issues plaguing Aussie football pathways? Tune in to find out in this fascinating conversation.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
