KU technical coach Dave Coughlan and departing Technical Director Liam Hughes take a crack at podcasting! This delightful duo talk about all things soccer and KU, while bringing some special guests in along the way. Take a listen, you won't regret it. 

Episode 1:

The first episode is a bit long but time will fly as the listener gets lost in the silky smooth voices and general banter. Episode 1 covers a bit of everything while future episodes will dive into more specifics about what it means to coach at the community club level. Give it a listen and be gentle with your comments....

Episode 3 (Part 1 & 2)

In our latest podcast we speak with sports psychologist Beth McCharles. Beth works with some of the top athletes and performers across Canada. Over these two episodes, we discuss dealing with failure, being judged, athlete centered coaching, the role of parents and the "star" player. Be sure to listen all the way to the end of part 2 where Beth walks us through her experience in a 22 player penalty shoot out at Senior Women's Nationals.
