Another great one👊🏾👊🏾

Jeff, I studied turf management and UGA and got on with the grounds crew in the ‘07 season. One time you sat by me in the dugout for BP and offered me Red Man. Lol I was also at the game where Maddux pitched against Smoltz. Maddux was my favorite of the group as a child. We had set up BP and I showered in the back, put on the uni and stood by the plate talking to one of the security guards. I had just told the security guard about how much I like Maddux growing up when he point toward Padres dugout and out loud said, “There he goes right there.” I looked to the left and Greg was walking our way and heard him. With his bat in hand, he walked right up to us. Greg got right beside us on his way to the cage and said, “It’s going to be a 2 1/2 hour game tonight boys.” I was blown away! The funny thing is Braves (and I think Smoltz too) got the win LOL

Chipper and Jeff: You are incredible!

Great gentlemen 👌🏾

Complete madness. Youth sports have become more of a business.

Great interview I enjoyed this

That was great stuff. Became a fan of kirk’s seeing him on the Netflix show and this interview highlights even more that great character. You’ve got a fan down here in Miami. And keep up the great work Pure Athlete !

Who was BMac?

Great chat! 100% agree with Jeff, I don’t think any kid should be specializing (playing year round) in any sport prior to puberty (~14). I think it’s so beneficial to play multiple sports. If your kid has the desire and you have the means and time to do some individual skill clinics or the desire to do skill work at home during the off season that’s cool but not needed. I live in MN and there is a lot of indirect pressure to play and train year round from a very early age but it is not being put on the players from the coaches and associations. It is the perceived pressure that is put on from trying to keep up with the Jones. It is that FOMO when you’re seeing other parents and kids doing those unnecessary extra things. Hockey is a long season already going from September/October to March/April.

Best sports podcast 🙌🏾, I’m glad I came across this, huge fan.

Watching Argentina at MetLife, I saw great individual players with magnificent skills; and a great team with a high level of tactical understanding. Of course they're good athletes, but I didn’t see a lot of Bo Jacksons. The same applies to many smaller but accomplished soccer nations: Belgium, Uruguay, Netherlands, Portugal, Croatia, Switzerland, etc. have minuscule player pools compared the U.S., and yet produce excellent players. Anyone knowledgeable in the sport will tell you that a big part of the problem with the development of American players is the near fetish of favoring bigger, faster, stronger kids at a young age. ‘Smash Mouth’ doesn’t work in soccer. And of course there’s entire the mental aspect; I would cite a player like Phil Foden as just one example. He doesn’t have a lot of muscles, but he's got a good 'soccer mind.'

This dweeb... Look football is a gladiator sport. You're not going to come out of it unscathed. No matter what position you play you can either play or not. It's that simple

Jesse is such an inspiration, how often are sport reinvented? Now we need tackle golf ⛳️

Running the indoor track at UGA Ramsey Center and I see this enormous human being running behind me. Ben Watson very politely ran around me and told me "don't worry, I won't get in your way." Great guy.

I just listened to THE PHILLIES TALK w/Jeff and found out about this podcast. I love it.

After listening to this it explains why JT is such a great athlete and a remarkable human. He’s such a big part of why the Phillies are such a great team on and off the field.

I totally agree with this guy!!... I Coach baseball and that's all I talk about

We have some 330 million people in this country..shouldn’t be that hard to find a solid 11. Soccer of course requires different kinds of athleticism but it is also very cerebral since it is free flowing with only half time for stoppage. Athleticism without brains does not go far in the sport. The problem with American soccer is the pay-to-play system. It is literally textbook corruption. An institution that should be governed by athletic merit (sport) is gatekept by a paywall. Pricier clubs tend to have more meaningful exposure. It creates a conflict of interest. Do I as a coach play the best players or do I try to get everyone equal pay time since everyone’s parents are all paying exorbitant fees. The best in this sport have rarely been physically imposing and have come from nothing (financially). Hot take: The US has increased the influx of immigrants and naturalized citizenry tremendously over the past 30 years or so. Soccer is the most popular sport amongst this American cohort. USSoccer has not tapped into this whatsoever. Typically this American class does not include club sport in its expenditure as it is quite the financial endeavor to get settled in the US. Main financial expenditures will be transportation, education, and housing. With the amount of time immigrant parents typically spend at work, there is not time to participate in club sport if that is something that they were willing to pay for in the first place. Pay to play has literally priced out most of the American working class. You need to tap in to all areas of your society. Take Christian pulisic for example, the Us system is subpar so his family took him to borussia dortmund in Germany where he grew up at one of the best clubs in the world. Anyway I’ve typed too much at this point. If there are any questions feel free to ask

What if players who wanted to play football and basketball who weren't big enough and weren't ever going to be big enough got funneled into soccer at a young age?

Kids are roped into one sport at too early an age the days of the rounded 3 or sport athlete is gone

Seeing the Bananas in Arizona was incredible. We flew to see them because we're insane. 😂

sorry, but Musah > McKennie...

Rule #1 no coaching from the sideline or fence. A good coach should address this in the first coach/parent meeting. Coaching is different from being a supportive and cheering parent that's 100% fine and ok. It's also ok to cheer on the opposing team when they make a spectacular play. This helps show sportsmanship to the younger players. Let the coaches coach and just be a supportive parent .

The bridge too far is the super conference. What you are describing isn’t cfb at all. I wouldn’t watch if you kick half the FBs out

Who has the best interest of the other half of the FBS schools… we can’t continue to let the schools with all the money steal student athletes from the smaller schools.

Like yall mentioned… only a few coaches are making the outlandish money and only a few schools are generating outlandish revenue… it’s not a good reason to kill FBS college football and turn it into nfl Jr.. #savecollegefootball

If our best played soccer, we'd be France. Seriously. Go watch France and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Usa team needs more international competence, you guys can have the best young players in Europe but if you continue playing only against Concacaf teams your football level It will always be low, the solution could be start play in Conmebol

Starting earlier

Taylor Twat's opinion is mud!!

Thought Taylor and MLS died when it went to Apple. What a terrible long term play for MLS. Sure upfront money is great but the loss of casual viewers will be devastating long term.

"greatest athletes" argument in this day and age. Still? I though we were beyond this nonsense 25 years ago but every numpty who knows nothing about the game has to climb their own learning curve.

it has gotten worse as pay for play is stronger then ever

Worst. Fake intellect “tactical” Coach in history also....... Yeah if tactical means soft and dumb AF

US soccer has gotten worse It’s just a business at the developmental level with fake certified coaches who are the wrong type of minds to lead...... Taylor stop the cap........ This is the worst group of players in history and some media says they are a golden generation..... Stop the cap....... 🍑🍑🍑

Finally someone debunked the athlete argument. Football is so widley played that freaks are not athetic fraks anymore otherwise usain bolt would be the best player ever, Real freaks are the BALLERS the naturals who can manipulate the ball with near supernatural ability, 3 billion people playing just to find the few naturals regardless of size speed or athletisism.

Who cares what Twellman thinks… he’s a Pay for Play apologist

Chipper and Griffey are my two favorite players. Got to see them both go deep when Griffey was on the Reds. My mom actually waited on Chipper, Smoltz and a few others at a place called Fort Wayne in Reynolds Ga

I watched Chipper’s career from rookie season to his last game. Those years went by so fast.⚾️

Great tips!

I love that about Kirk...he's always working on improving every year. I wonder if any other quarterbacks ask the retired QBs questions? Kirk has also talked to Tarkenton and said that he called him on his drive down from Michigan to Atlanta. It's cool that Tarkenton also lives in Atlanta.

Best sports podcast, thanks so much for these👊🏾

Why does his teeth look like that

great podcast! love that you finally got a hockey player on!
