THE Soccer Dad-Pod – Details, episodes & analysis

Brian Jones is a flat-out baller. A grinder. And an ace human to boot. This keeper who didn’t fit the profile norms disrupted expectations and had an incredible career that took him to the MLS & Europe for over 8 years as a pro. Transitioning to coaching to give back like so many other STL players of that time, he is now the goalie coach for the USL Championship Charleston Battery. Incredible stories, insight and inspiration in this one… let’s go.

SLU vs IU in front of 6,000 fans. A crowd that included US Soccer Hall of Famers, a multitude of STL Soccer Hall of Famers, World Cup alum, Olympic alum, hundreds of US caps, and thousands of pro starts… to name a few.

We chatted with City 2’s goalie Czar, a 13 yr SLU coach, the next-gen namesake of the "Heisman" of Soccer, STL City’’s most recent homegrown signing, and a front office fan favorite who made a 48 hr trip up from Tampa… because this game mattered. Let’s go!

Indoor soccer has been a mainstay in many cities from the youth to the professional level - with the ability to play all year round plus fill the void for outdoor in colder months. St. Louis has had a long-term relationship with its professional indoor teams from the Steamers, to the Storm, to now the Ambush. On this episode of Soccer Mom Sunday, host Jennifer Siess from Mine To Define was joined by Shelly Clark, Co-Owner and CEO of the STL Ambush. As the MASL’s first female majority owner … AND a hugger … Shelly leadership style is connection-based and relationship driven. From the pitch to the stands, Shelly stresses the importance of creating experiences and memories for the players and their fans in the stands! #masl #indoorsoccer #community #equality #familyarena      

Chad Smith loves SKC. We don't. So it made for an interesting conversation... to say the least. A decent amount of respect was shown, while establishing a RIVALRY is necessary. While we objectively won the history/culture/trademark battle, Chad casually pointed out they won the playoff one. This isn't over...
