Kick It With Katie: A Soccer Podcast
The Kick It with Katie Podcast covers different aspects of youth soccer in the United States and around the world. I share stories from former youth players and their pathway through the youth systems and where it took them in life whether it be playing collegiate, playing professionally or finding another avenue, we have it all. The show will also cover coaching, recruiting, and other topics in the youth soccer landscape. I find that sharing your stories will help others in their pursuit of the same goal. Thanks for kickin' It with me!
