Hi, I’m Glenn!

I’ve spent over 50 years in soccer as a player, coach, broadcaster and analyst. From calling NYCFC matches to coaching at Rutgers University, I’ve experienced both the challenges and triumphs of building successful teams.

I’ve had the privilege of coaching players like Carli Lloyd and working with athletes at all levels, from youth leagues to the pros. Through my broadcasting and podcasts, I’ve shared insights and stories that bring the game to life.

What I’ve learned over the years is that soccer is more than just tactics. It’s about leadership, culture, and purpose. It’s about connecting people through shared experiences, both on and off the field.

Today, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned, helping coaches and players develop and connect with the game in a meaningful way.
