Hardin-Simmons University Women's Soccer - Coach Rusty Oglesby
On today’s episode, I speak with Coach Rusty Oglesby from the Hardin-Simmons Women’s Program in Abilene, Texas. We talk about how the program stays ahead in recruiting and why he looks for strong students who are involved outside of soccer and will fit the culture at Hardin-Simmons. Coach describes the strong alumni network, impressive athletic facilities, and academic opportunities that allow student-athletes to compete at a high level while preparing for their future careers. Lastly, we discuss his possession-oriented style of play, the program’s approach to the spring season, and why he encourages recruits to be patient, trust their own journey, and find a school where they will be wanted and enjoy their college experience.

Milwaukee School of Engineering Women's Soccer - Coach Rolf Zersen
On today’s episode, I speak with Coach Rolf Zersen from the Milwaukee School of Engineering Women’s Soccer Program in Wisconsin. We talk about the unique recruiting approach at a specialized STEM-focused school and why Coach Zersen casts a wide net across the country to find players who are the right fit both academically and athletically. He describes MSOE’s small, hands-on learning environment, its location in the heart of Milwaukee, and the academic support and career resources available to students pursuing demanding degrees in areas such as engineering, nursing, and computer science. Lastly, we discuss what a typical week looks like for his players, the collaborative coaching staff, and his game-focused approach to training that emphasizes decision-making and playing “possession with a purpose.”

Special Episode – Anthony Latronica, Coach and Author
On today’s episode, I speak with Coach and author Anthony Latronica, a longtime soccer coach and executive who is currently coaching at Bentley University. Anthony and I go way back to our time together at IMG, and we reconnect to talk about his new book, Leading From the Back: Lessons in Leadership, Legacy, and Life From Between the Posts. We discuss how his experiences as a goalkeeper influenced his approach to leadership, including communication, problem-solving, handling pressure, and seeing the game from a different perspective. Lastly, we talk about his return to college coaching, the rapidly changing recruiting landscape, and why he believes academics and finding the right degree should be a prospective student-athlete’s North Star.
