    Coach Rory Episode was Amazing
    I stumbled into 3four3 because of Coach Rory’s YouTube page, and I’ve found both to be amazing resources for my coaching experiences. I think anyone coaching youth soccer should definitely visit these sites. It has helped me evolve to the modern game of soccer and away from the old methods I was taught in the 80s and 90s.
  • MeattrayNate
    Big Picture Soccer
    As a parent to 3 soccer kids, who was never into the sport growing up, I'm getting a ton of great perspective. I highly recommend this to parents and coaches.

    Truth
    Spot on, there’s no hiding MLS Mafia
  • QMLSC
    Top notch
    Able to relate to the discussions. I’ve witnessed some if their work in the past years and never seen anything like what they have achieved.
  • Ed from Fresno
    A Must Listen
    If you are a coach in the youth game, you need to listen to this show.
  • El Duque de Barça
    Surface Talk
    3 minutes of training course sales (it’s American soccer after all) and then 15 minutes of platitudes and novel ideas (by US standards). No depth. Very black and white. It’s literally talk, or opinion, about a topic and absolutely no in-depth discussion, followed by a few minutes of bumper music ? Reminds me of SNL skit where host brought up an inflammatory topic and told guests to discuss it amongst themselves. Street soccer anecdotes, Rec vs competitive, blah blah blah. Superficial. Throwing grenades and walking away
  • pawz1200
    Great stuff
    One of my favorite pods to listen to each week! Look forward to each new one. Helping turn the page in the US landscape!!
  • Futbol coach dvb
    Worth the listen
    This is my favorite pod cast to listen to...some things I agree and disagree with but always good conversation and thought provoking!!! From coaching methods, promotion and relocation, coaching education it is well worth a listen. #ckfutbol #coachderrick

    Really enjoy listening as a parent
    It has really helped me understand what my son is trying to do on the soccer field and what the coaches are working towards.
  • pshea07
    Great insights
    Great insights into coaching, the game and soccer development in the US. With each episode I find something else I can add to my coaching.
  • Ryan Crabbe
    Great Content
    Love the show and the willingness to challenge the status quo and take and have honest conversations about the game in this country.
  • JasonMouzon
    Deep Thinkers
    This podcast has changed my beliefs, not only on how the game should be taught, but how it functions in our American Society. Great content, great purpose, great ideas!
  • Cool cruiser
    Great podcast for coaches looking to learn
    As a coach, we should never stop wanting to learn, otherwise we’re doomed. This podcast gives fresh perspectives on coaching methods, provides interviews with a wide range of compelling people in the soccer industry, and touches on the concepts available in their premium services.
  • jennimpact
    Every American coach needs 3four3!
    I believe in this program so much. I've been coaching since 2004 and this perspective has given me more purpose and focus in coaching.

    Great soccer podcast
    John really does pull in some really great guests and gets them to open up on topics that dive a little deeper into the soccer landscape than traditional media is willing to go.
  • Chsmt19
    TT!!
    Real talk beats all others. More than a wonderful listen, it should be required...
  • @michaelwaustin

  • ThisGuyToph
    Finally, a podcast for serious soccer people!
    Great guests, interesting stories and conversation, and a passionate host! When this podcast started there was no one reaching this niche audience. Keep up the good work, John!

    What type of coach do you want to be?
    This podcast has great value whether you are a beginning or higher level coach. It challenges you to examine the essence of why you coach and supports you in developing and strengthening your philosophy. A must if you are driven to be the best coach you can be.
  • trl1994
    A+
    This podcast is a must for anyone who wants to become knowledgeable or improve their knowledge about the game of football. Whether that be a coach, parent, player or fan, you will not be disappointed by the myriad of guests who share their expertise. Give it a listen, you won't regret it.
