In This episode of The Nutmeg & Chill Podcast, DJ Colgate & Matt Dold dive into everything soccer. Coach Matt recaps his ECNL college showcases in South Carolina and Florida over the holidays, sharing insights on player recruitment and how many more kids have secured college opportunities.
We also break down the evolving landscape of soccer tournaments- how they work and what they really mean, the point system, and the future of competition. Plus, we recap Vegas cup in January and talk about upcoming Mayor's cup in February and discuss the often-overlooked expectations on parents, sideline behavior and how it all impacts young athletes.
From a coach's perspective, we tackle playing time, what kids should be doing to stay competitive, and the common misconceptions parents have about the process. We also discuss DJ Colgate's son Diego and what he does to stay competitive and his journey.
Finally, we dive into the ECNL and MLS 2-Tier system-and Coach Matt has a big surprise announcement you don't want to miss!
Tune in for an honest and insightful conversation about the beautiful game!
