Brando Babini started a company at 16 because the thing he needed didn't exist. Five years later he's running it from a train seat between Brown and Brooklyn — 1,000 players, a Nike partnership, and 30 million views he shot and edited himself. This one's about how he actually does it.Brando is 21, still finishing his degree, and building Youth 4 Youth FC into one of the largest player-led soccer organizations in the country. He spotted the gap from his own playing career — no mentor, no one who'd walked the path ahead of him — and built the thing he wished he'd had. The 2026 World Cup is on U.S. soil right now and the whole country's suddenly paying attention to soccer. Strip the sport out, though, and you've still got the more interesting story: a Gen Z operator running a real company while most people his age are still picking a major.What We Get IntoSpotting a gap from lived experience and building the company you wished existed at 16Running an eight-state operation while taking the Amtrak back to class twice a week — the "drop-in," not the dropoutTurning 30 million organic views into 4,000 player applications — and what to do when that engine slows downLanding a Nike partnership as a young, unproven founderThe mission-vs-profit tension: building real access without building a handoutGoing need-blind by design — so the best kid plays whether his family can pay or notScaling by "mega sub-regions" instead of chasing franchise growthTeaching 13-year-olds to represent themselves — agency as the actual productChapters00:00 — The drop-in: running a company between Providence and New York01:30 — Starting at 16, and the gap he was trying to close03:45 — When the pro dream faded and the founder showed up04:30 — The question that runs everything: "what do I wish existed?"21:00 — Access without a handout: the mission-vs-profit tension26:00 — Why profit incentives aren't the enemy, and going need-blind33:00 — Teaching agency: parents, players, and an internal locus of control50:00 — 30 million views, 4,000 applications, and rebuilding the funnel52:00 — The Nike street-soccer project he's directing this week58:00 — Rapid fire: the GOAT, the Prem, and a 2026 World Cup readThis first aired on SportsEpreneur.

Our good friend Rich Nassif is back! Rich spent 17 years as a Division I collegiate soccer coach and was around when the idea of a two-semester college soccer schedule was first floated, so he's got a front-row perspective on how we got here. The timing couldn't be better: on June 23-24, the NCAA Division I Cabinet meets to decide the fate of men's college soccer's playing schedule. The Division I Men's Soccer Oversight Committee has already adopted legislation to split the season across fall and spring semesters starting in 2027-28, but the Cabinet still has to sign off before it becomes official. If approved, teams would play up to 18 matches in a fall window (late August through the Saturday before Thanksgiving) and up to 10 more in a spring window starting mid-February, with the College Cup moving to the spring. If it's rejected, the current compressed fall-only season stays put. Rich sits down with Brooks to discuss how college coaches really feel about the two-semester schedule, and the positives and negatives it could bring to programs across the country.If you loved this episode, drop us a review and rating — it genuinely helps us grow! ⚽

Send us Fan MailCollege soccer is about to change in ways that will hit everyone on match day: referees, coaches, players, and the people in the stands wondering why the game has stopped again. After sharing a personal weekend at the brand-new U.S. Soccer National Training Center, including the eye-opening mechanics of officiating deaf and power wheelchair matches, we bring on one of the best voices to explain what's coming next for the NCAA.John Collins, the NCAA national coordinator of soccer officials and a professional assessor across MLS, NWSL, and USL, walks us through the biggest NCAA soccer rules changes. We dig into the move to a coach-initiated video review challenge system, what incidents are actually reviewable, and why replay in college can be painfully slow without a full VAR team, dedicated replay operators, and a deep set of camera angles. John also breaks down why the fourth official becomes even more important now, how substitution opportunities shift when the clock is stopped, and what the optional Video Match Official role could mean for the future.We also tackle the men's Division I fall-spring calendar proposal, the student-athlete wellness case behind it, and the ripple effects on referee scheduling, development, and opportunity across all divisions. We wrap with the cultural hold of the countdown clock, plus discipline updates like simplifying violent behavior categories and new bench decorum accountability that puts staff cautions onto the head coach's accumulation. If you care about NCAA soccer officiating, video review, coach challenges, and the direction of the college game, this is the roadmap.

The recruiting process can flip from quiet to overwhelming in a single weekend, and that is exactly what happens after MLS Next Fest. I sit down again with Wyatt, Mateo, and Brandon from Ozark United FC U19 to get honest about the calls, the emails, the pressure, and the decisions that come fast once coaches start reaching out. We talk about what “finding the right fit” actually means when you are balancing college soccer, academics, location, and the bigger question of who you want to become off the field.They break down the real filters they used to choose a program: building a list of what you do not want, defining a few non negotiables, and digging into the details that actually shape your experience. We get specific about soccer development and program culture, roster size, international players, positional depth, and the questions recruits should ask coaches when no one can promise playing time. We also talk about recruiting timelines, NCAA contact rules, highlight reels, and why starting early can matter more than people realize.Money is part of the story too. We discuss financial calculators, avoiding painful surprises, and why the “dream school” has to make sense on paper as well as on the pitch. We also zoom out to the changing pathway to pro soccer, including the growing academy route, what trials can teach you, and how to turn setbacks into confidence. If you are a player, parent, or coach navigating youth soccer recruiting, this conversation offers practical steps and a grounded mindset.Subscribe for more Ozark United stories, share this with a family in the recruiting grind, and leave a review if it helps.
