Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire house cleaning continues under new Director of Sport and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter. This time, defense Tobias Salquist is on the outs, being transferred to FC Nordsjaelland of the Danish Superliga. Salquist will likely not be missed - he only appeared in 14 matches due to injuries - and when he played, looked like he could not keep up with the pace and physicality of MLS. In this episode, Nick also discusses the Philadelphia Union hiring new head coach Bradley Carnell. The former St. Louis City manager will likely play a high pressing style on the pitch, and off the pitch will likely agree with everything General Manager Ernst Tanner does. This hiring puts all the pressure on Tanner to get things right, or he'll likely be the next employee shown the door for the Union's failure. Tune in and join the conversation!

You may have a great performance structure for your men's team, but simply cutting and pasting that to your women's team does them a disservice.That is the view of Arianna Criscione, the Head of Football Operations at Mercury/13 and Como Women. “It's not enough,” she tells this Kitman Labs podcast. She explains that there are a range of services, from nutrition to psychology, that need to be tailored to women players.Criscione continues: “You also have to have access to medical [support], but a lot of clubs don't have access to a gynaecologist, which is a major part of the female body and really needs to be addressed a lot more.”Dentistry is another area of oft-neglected consideration. “If you have an off-bite, that can actually affect your structure and how you're running, which could cause injury.”It is, as Sarah Smith says, about “making sure that we have a good foundation of support around our athletes.” Smith, who is the Director of Medical and Performance at Angel City FC in the NWSL, joins the conversation alongside Stephen Smith, the Founder of Kitman Labs.In addition to discussing holistic female player development [10:45], the trio delve into bridging the gap in data and understanding in women's football [15:45]; how talent identification is evolving [20:15]; as well as the existing disparities in data collection [28:10] from club to club and league to league.This is episode two of a three-part series.

More than 77 per cent of professional contracts in the Premier League and EFL are held by homegrown players.It wasn't always thus. “English clubs were basically funding talent development models in Spain or in Brazil because English talent wasn't seen to be at the same level as players from those countries,” Paul Prescott, the Managing Director of the International Football Group, told this Kitman Labs podcast.That situation persisted until recently and is starting to change in part due to the introduction of the Elite Player Performance Plan [EPPP] in 2012.“We are seeing that some of the decisions that were made maybe 10-12 years ago are beginning to bear fruit,” added Prescott, who was joined by Morten Larsen, the Head of Methodology & Development at Danish Superliga club Arhus, and Stephen Smith, the Founder of Kitman Labs.Aarhus share the Premier League's emphasis on talent development, albeit in different circumstances as Larsen explains [5:30].“Denmark is a small country and the league is a small league,” he says. “So there's only one thing we can do to compete with the other clubs in Europe.”Elsewhere, Smith sets out the differences in approach between leagues and clubs [16:25]; Larsen explains the impact of data on decision-making processes in the Aarhus academy [24:10]; and Prescott ponders whether EPPP was an outcome or a catalyst [36:30].

Our Great Coach on this episode is Thomas Frank Thomas is the Head Coach of Brentford FC in the English Football League Championship. He started his career coaching youth teams in Denmark. His success with the National Under 17 team led to his first senior appointment with Brondby in the Danish Superliga in 2013. He turned their performance around delivering top four performances in successive years. In 2016 he joined Brentford as an Assistant Coach before becoming their manager in 2018. At the end of 2019 season he was awarded Manager of the Year and in May 2021, Brentford beat Swansea for promotion into to the English Premier League for the first time in 74 years.

His beliefs about the importance of humility, and the value of hard work and standards are timeless. He understands that to experience the joy of success, you must endure long periods of struggle, and yet through care and what he calls, appreciative enquiry, you can sustain the energy needed to continue on. This was a wonderful conversation with a coach on the rise, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Bill is a proud Muslim who prays before every match and does his best to fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. He's also very proud of his Sierra-Leonean roots. He shares stories of his experience as a first-generation American growing up in a strict immigrant household, where staying connected to his roots was of the utmost importance.
