"We were trying to give kids graduating from our programs an avenue to continue playing." "Soccer is a lifelong sport; it's not something that should end when you go to college." "We wanted to create a community feel, where players are proud of the shirt they put on." "Winning at the youth level isn't the most important; development and love for the game are."

Early Challenges and Growth: The initial struggles and learning experiences of managing a football club as a young coach, and the decision to start a new club from scratch. Transition to the United States: The move from the UK to Texas, the cultural adjustments, and the re-establishment of Storm FC as KernowStorm FC in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Youth Development Focus: The importance of starting soccer programs from a very young age (U3, U4) and continuing through to adult programs, emphasizing long-term development over immediate competition success. Community and Tradition: The role of community, tradition, and the emotional connection players and families have with the club. The significance of the club's logo, which integrates Cornish and Texan elements. Overcoming Adversity: Stories of overcoming obstacles, such as securing fields and competing against larger, established clubs in the area. Maintaining Player Engagement: Efforts to keep players engaged in soccer beyond high school and college, including adult leagues and the importance of providing continuous opportunities. Club Philosophy: The club's philosophy of prioritizing player development, love for the game, and creating a supportive, family-like environment over winning titles at the youth level. Cultural Integration: The blending of British and American soccer cultures within the club, and how this dual influence shapes their approach to coaching and club management. Personal Reflections: Anthony's personal journey, including his balance of time spent in the UK and the US, and his reflections on the growth and future of Kernow Storm FC. #ChatByThePitch #AnthonyPenna #KernowStormFC #SoccerCommunity #FootballJourney #ClubHistory #YouthSoccer #PlayerDevelopment #SoccerPassion Follow Us:Twitter: @ChatByThePitch Instagram: @ChatByThePitch Facebook: Chat By The Pitch Connect with Storm FC:Website: www.stormfutbol.com/ Subscribe & Leave a Review:Don't forget to subscribe to "Chat By The Pitch" on your favorite podcast platform and leave us a review.

This month is all about love and in Part 2 of my interview with Anthony Penna he tells us a little bit more about his love of family, the deep respect he has for his wife (a newly wed!) and who he would have dinner with if he could choose any celebrities or famous person, dead or alive.

Huntsman Hall at Wharton We had an excellent Q&A last week with Ankur Kumar and Anthony Penna, admissions directors at Wharton. The excerpt below provides an insider look at how the adcom readers approach your goal essays – how you should bridge your past and present experiences to what you'd like to be doing in the future. Linda Abraham: Ritin asks, “How strong of a connection or linkage is a candidate required to demonstrate between his current profile and his long-term goals, or at least his post-MBA goals, at the time of writing his application?” Ankur Kumar: What we are really trying to do is understand a candidate’s thought process and what they’ve been doing to move in the direction that they are headed. And what I mean by that is that coming to any business school, not just Wharton, is not the silver magic bullet to make all your dreams come true in two years and do all the hard work for you. It is a fantastic and incredibly transformative vehicle for you to get exposure to people and employers and industries and ways of thinking, and to test and refine it. I truly believe that the best candidates and the best business school students are those that have started this process of moving towards their goal well before they have come to business school, and for whom actually business school isn’t going to stop or start them from what they want to do. In terms of linking what you are currently doing to your goals, we certainly want to understand how they link and what the thought process is – why you have an interest in pursuing a certain field...what is it about your field or your experiences that excite you that make you want to stay in it? How do you want to develop in it? Or if you are looking to shift careers, where did that thought process come from? How did that come about? And of course, how have you been moving towards achieving those goals? ....So I would think about it more from that context than any, in terms of helping us understand what you’ve been doing and how that may link to what you want to do in the future. For the entire conversation, please view the transcript or listen to the complete audio file on our website. Do you need help demonstrating that "link" between your experiences and your goals?

One of the most disturbing insights made by practitioners of “Big History” is that the distinction between geologic time and human time has collapsed in our era. The forces that drove geologic time–plate tectonics, the orientation of the Earth's axis relative to the sun, volcanic activity–were distinct from the forces that drove human time–evolution, technological change, population growth. To be sure, they interacted. But the causal arrow always went from geologic change to human change. As Anthony Penna rightly points out in The Human Footprint: A Global Environmental History (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010), the causal arrow now goes in both directions. Not only do we adapt to the environment, but the environment is adapting to us, and mightily. We are ushering in a new geological period sometimes called the Anthropocene–the era defined by human activity. It's important to point out that this is not the first time biology has shaped geology: we have good evidence, for example, that 2.4 billion years ago cyanobacteria radically altered the Earth's atmosphere by releasing enormous quantities of free oxygen (“The Great Oxygenization Event“). This time, however, it's different. Cyanobacteria are essentially dumb machines. They could not choose whether they would oxygenate the atmosphere or not. In contrast, we are smart machines. We can choose how we want to alter the environment. Penna tells the story of how we have been altering the environment–and choosing to alter the environment–for the past 50,000 years, and with particular vigor in the past several hundred. We are now masters not only of our own fate, but the fate of the Earth and all life on it. We need to wake up to that fact, and we should thank Anthony Penna for helping to stir us from our slumbers.
