  • BTW Episode 10 - Life During COVID19

    20 APR 2020 · Bobby and Coach Mack connect via Zoom to discuss why we haven't been playing any football, let alone recording. We discuss navigating through life as people, parents, and football coaches. We understand the world has been a little upside-down, so it's important as coaches to stay engaged with as many people as possible - especially your athletes - we thought we would share some of these thoughts with you as well. Stay safe everyone!

  • BTW Episode 8 - Needs vs Wants

    5 APR 2020 · Everyone has needs and wants, and often they get a little blurred. The coaches kick off Season 2 discussing why a Player’s “wants” HAS to come after the Team’s “needs”. And an admission that coaches DO sometimes play favourites, and how you can be that player.

  • BTW Episode 7 - Play Up or Play Down?

    29 APR 2019 · This one is a really hot-button topic with some coaches. The question we ask is: if you are in the situation of being right in the middle; and you are given the choice, do you prefer to play up in a higher tier vs better teams (and likely get beat up weekly), or do you prefer to play down in the lower tier and be competitive. We’re engaging our social media friends to find out what people think on this one. Join us while we explore the ups and downs of both, and which is better. (Spoiler alert - we don’t actually figure that out..)

  • BTW Episode 6 - Women in Football

    14 APR 2019 · We have a special episode for you this week! Not only do we have our first ‘guest coach’ on the show, but it is also our first loan on the show.

She is a SB/RB and a member of the executive of the Halifax Xplosion Women’s football team. She’s also a minor league coach. Maggie tells about women’s amateur football in Canada, and what it’s like. We all discuss minor football for girls, and why they tend to drop out. Not only that, we’ve decided to test out our ability to record “On Location”! We recorded this one at one of our favourite pubs for fun. Enjoy the cool background noise on this one!
