Fast forward to one of the most eventful life journey's I am fortunate to share with you on the Hooked On Habits podcast, and now Bob has been nearly four decades with Major League Soccer team the Whitecaps. Excelling as a player, coach, general manager, director of soccer operations, president, and now club liaison. This year he'll celebrate 40 years of marriage with his wife. He's a loving dad to his two kids, their spouses, and is now a grandfather! Bob's story if one of never giving up, what it was like playing overseas for England's Reading team at 15 years old, the Olympics, World Cup, and 312 games with the Whitecaps. It wasn't always an easy ride for Bob, he stuck to what he knew he was best at even at the hardest of times, and always had his family values at his core. You can listen to the Hooked On Habits episode featuring Bob Lenarduzzi on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Podcast Addict, and Stitcher. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a review!

As we continue the countdown to the autumn sports seasons, here's another episode of Just A Bit Outside to get you through. We start off with the Whitecaps, who won a game and you'd think that's the big story, except they also demoted president Bob Lenarduzzi. Who is going to run the Caps? Who is to blame for the current state of the franchise? Will a new sporting director be able to turn it around? What about the BC Lions? Will a sale of the team help turn around their fortunes? Are there any positives in their tire fire of a season? You may have heard the Canucks extended the contract of Jim Benning. What do you think of this vote of confidence for the cartel? Is the franchise headed on the right track? Does this signal a newfound patience from ownership? We do a little GM comparison and history lesson to see if Benning deserved an extension. All this plus our best and worst in Garbage Time!

Sitting in last place in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer, the Vancouver Whitecaps have announced a front-office shakeup. The team is doing away with the President's job, but Bob Lenarduzzi is not leaving. Rather, the former player, coach, and executive is moving into a new role of club liaison. Meanwhile, an international search has begun to hire a Sporting Director for the team, who will lead the technical direction of the club and report to ownership. Bob Lenarduzzi has been speaking at a press conference in the past half-hour. And as we've been hearing, he's been speaking about the next steps for the club, along with his own record as club President. Guest: Squire Barnes Global BC Sports Director Everybody's favourite British Columbian

It's a five day feast of football this long weekend, for both club and country. It's also a crucial, must perform one for Vancouver Whitecaps and the Canadian national team. A tough season for the 'Caps still offers some hope of a postseason berth with seven games remaining. It's a tough ask, and after everything that's gone wrong this season, it's a hard one to see coming to fruition. But this is MLS, and nothing is straight forward here. Just what has gone wrong and how can it be rectified? We chat with Whitecaps President Bob Lenarduzzi to ask him just that and a lot more besides, from youth development, to those wanting him and Carl Robinson out, the perceived cheapness, and the future path the club will take. In a special interview heavy episode, we also sit down with new WFC2 player-coach Pa Modou Kah to chat about his transition into coaching, his decision to make that change now, and his clear love for imparting his knowledge with the younger players. And talking of younger players, we speak one of them who has been at the 'Caps for four seasons now, striker Erik Hurtado. It's been a year since he flew out on loan to Norway. What has he learned in that time and did he expect to be back in the first team reckoning when he came back to Vancouver? Turning our attention to the national team, we hear from Canada coach Benito Floro as he gives a conference call ahead of this Friday's massive showdown in Honduras, with a place in the Hex on the line. There's a lot of talk to be had, so have a listen.
