Traders can become more disciplined by shifting their mindsets to valuing the process of "good trading" over good trading results. This isn't easy by any means, but if we want consistent long-term results, it's what needs to be done. Recently, Major League Soccer (MLS) adapted a new style of evaluating teams and individual talent by using a scale called the Quality of Play Rankings. In this episode, I'm going to show you how we can take this same scale & use it to properly evaluate and improve our trading.Get your FREE Trading Computer Builders/Buyers Guidehttps://www.tradingcomputerbuyersguide.com/optin-629312741738938873920Your Trading Coach Akil

It was the 37th season played by a professional team bearing the Sounders name, which had originated in 1974 with the first incarnation of the franchise. The team was under the management of Brian Schmetzer in his fourth full MLS season as head coach of the Sounders.Seattle were the reigning MLS Cup champions, having defeated Toronto FC 3–1 in the 2019 final at their home stadium, CenturyLink Field (renamed Lumen Field in November 2020). The season began with two home matches but was suspended on March 12, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the second Sounders match had reduced attendance due to the pandemic's spread in the Seattle metropolitan area. MLS resumed with a special tournament in July hosted in the Orlando area, and teams returned home a month later to play in matches behind closed doors. The Sounders only played 22 regular season matches, mostly against opponents in the Western Conference, due to a shortened schedule and several canceled matches. The 2020 Campeones Cup was canceled along with the 2020 U. S. Open Cup.Seattle qualified for the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs as the second-placed team in the Western Conference, determined by points per game due to the unbalanced number of games played by MLS teams during the season.

Apple TV amplía su alcance y llega a Android con opciones de streaming y contenido deportivo Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo La llegada de la aplicación de Apple TV a Android pone sobre la mesa nuevas posibilidades de entretenimiento. Desde hoy, usuarios con teléfonos, tabletas o dispositivos plegables con Android 10 o versiones posteriores van a disfrutar de series y películas originales, eventos deportivos en vivo y la opción de un periodo de prueba gratuito de siete días antes de suscribirse. Este movimiento abre el panorama para quienes deseaban acceder a títulos como “Severance” y partidos de la Major League Soccer (MLS). También da más opciones de pago, pues las suscripciones van a poder manejarse desde la cuenta de Google Play. ¿Vamos a presenciar un cambio de rumbo en la guerra del streaming con esta expansión?La noticia sorprende, porque Apple tiende a mantener sus productos y servicios dentro de su propio ecosistema. Ahora, con la llegada de Apple TV a Android, vamos a ver un giro en la manera de consumir contenido. La aplicación ofrece la función de “Continuar Viendo” para retomar series y películas en diferentes dispositivos, junto con la lista personal de títulos guardados. El diseño se parece a su versión en iOS, aunque hay cambios, como la ausencia de la tienda de iTunes para comprar o rentar contenidos. Esta decisión señala el interés de Apple por atraer a usuarios que utilizan smartphones de distintas marcas. Al final, la expansión representa una invitación a quienes deseaban probar Apple TV+ sin tener que comprar un iPhone o iPad.La competencia entre plataformas de streaming se ha vuelto intensa. Cada servicio compite por la atención del público, y Apple TV+ todavía tiene un número de suscriptores menor que otros gigantes del sector. Además, en dispositivos Android, existen muchas opciones como Netflix, Prime Video y Disney+, que ya son parte de la rutina de muchos usuarios. El reto principal es la fragmentación: hay modelos antiguos que no soportan Android 10, así que no van a poder utilizar la aplicación de Apple TV. Esta barrera tecnológica puede limitar el alcance de la estrategia de Apple. Otros se preguntan si la oferta de contenidos exclusivos, como “Ted Lasso” o la cobertura de la Major League Soccer, va a ser suficiente para convencer a usuarios que prefieren otras plataformas.Apple ha decidido ampliar horizontes y confía en que esta estrategia va a sumar nuevos suscriptores a su servicio. La compañía entiende que muchos consumidores prefieren Android por su variedad de precios y marcas, así que brindarles la opción de instalar Apple TV sin necesidad de un dispositivo iOS es un paso importante. Además, Apple ofrece la posibilidad de un periodo de prueba de siete días para Apple TV+, algo que puede animar a quienes están indecisos. Las producciones populares como “Severance” y los partidos de la MLS son su carta de presentación para convencer a los aficionados al fútbol y a las series que buscan algo distinto. Algunos expertos señalan que Apple va a necesitar más contenido original y acuerdos deportivos de renombre para competir con otras plataformas. De todos modos, el aterrizaje de Apple TV en el ecosistema Android simboliza la intención de la empresa de crecer y posicionarse en el sector del streaming, con la mira puesta en millones de usuarios potenciales. No es la primera vez que Apple incursiona en Android: la compañía ya había lanzado Apple Music en la plataforma de Google hace algunos años. Ahora, con Apple TV, busca consolidar su división de servicios, la cual genera ingresos significativos y es la segunda más grande para la empresa, solo por detrás de la venta de iPhones. El costo mensual de Apple TV+ en Estados Unidos es de 10 dólares, y en Europa ronda precios similares en euros. El formato de cobro mediante Google Play facilita los procesos de suscripción y reduce las barreras de entrada para usuarios que buscan rapidez y comodidad. Según datos de Statcounter, Android domina el mercado global de smartphones con un 72% de participación, lo cual significa un público enorme al que Apple puede llegar a través de esta aplicación. Este escenario revela la importancia de expandir la disponibilidad de un servicio de streaming que incluye series premiadas, transmisiones deportivas y un enfoque original que intenta diferenciarse de otras plataformas. Apple TV llega a Android para abrir nuevas ventanas de entretenimiento y reforzar el universo de la compañía en el competitivo mundo del streaming. ¿Vale la pena intentarlo? Te invitamos a probarlo y compartir tu opinión. Vamos a seguir de cerca los próximos pasos de Apple en esta aventura multiplataforma.

Tom Williams’ journey to Head of Performance and Sport Science for Major League Soccer (MLS) powerhouse, the Los Angeles (LA) Galaxy, began at a crossroads: pursue traditional coaching or medical pathways. As a soccer “Swiss Army knife,” he embraced early sport science alongside coaching, building a career defined by collaboration and innovation. At the Galaxy, Williams is part of a web of support that uses rich data storytelling tailored to stakeholders and players, guiding decisions and infusing value in every encounter. This system drives their three key pillars: winning championships — including their recent record-breaking sixth MLS Cup — developing a robust academy pipeline, and leading innovation. In MLS’s “cultural melting pot,” Williams balances diverse backgrounds and short-term demands like fixture congestion while employing sustainable long-term strategies. With a unique full-time cognitive department and creative approaches like dodgeball warm-ups, he combines trust and ingenuity to elevate performance and presents a blueprint for those exploring emerging sport science. Reach out to Tom on LinkedIn: @tom-williams and X/Twitter: @Williams26Tom | Find Eric on Instagram: @ericmcmahoncscs and LinkedIn: @ericmcmahoncscs   Did you know MLS has a newly mandated Certified Performance and Sport Scientist® (CPSS®) role? Engage with NSCA’s Pro Sport Partner, the Professional Soccer Performance Association (PSPA), on social media to learn more:Instagram: @pspa_performance  X/Twitter: @PSPA_perform LinkedIn: @professional-soccer-performance-associationShow Notes“Our day in the life for us, it's to try and create that web of support, as I said earlier, and be across as many departments, and deliver our key messages specifically to those stakeholders rather than trying to work in isolation.” 12:55 “Be the best person in that role. Like, bring it. If you're the intern, be the best intern that they've ever had. If you're the fifth S&C, then be the best fifth S&C coach they've ever had. Because for me, everything matters all of the time, and those things never go unnoticed. Even though you might not see it eventually, you keep doing that every single day and being that best person. Then you will get there. It's just inevitable.” 28:30 “There's so many sports out there that need an edge. They need something that someone else isn't doing. And if you can provide that gap, then it enhances that team, that performance department, that medical department. It enhances all those things just by bringing that 1% something that's novel.” 29:55

By 2012, Tim Howard had established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. As Everton's starter, he regularly placed in the top four of various statistical categories and helped The Toffees inch their way towards the upper half of the table. At the same time, Howard was well established as the first choice keeper for the US Men's National Team. However, in his illustrious career a few moments still rise above the rest. One such moment was the goal Howard scored against Bolton on January 4, 2012. For both the sheer rarity and excellence of the feat, as well as the way he handled it, Howard endeared himself to American soccer fans in a way that highlighted a legendary career. Steve Jolley played ten years in Major League Soccer (MLS) for the LA Galaxy, NY/NJ MetroStars and FC Dallas. He was named an All-Star in 2001 when he was teammates with Tim Howard. Jolley joined Founding Futbol to recount his time playing with Howard, talk about what made him special on and off the field and so much more. He remembers when Howard left for the Premier League and talks about Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

Denn er muss es wissen: Als Head Coach der New York Red Bulls trainiert er seit Anfang 2024 jede Menge „Homegrown Players“ und hat sein Team unlängst souverän in die Conference-Semifinals der Major League Soccer (MLS) geführt.

Both teams finished atop their respective conferences during the regular season under new head coaches and advanced through the first two rounds of the playoffs.United won 2–0 with first-half goals from Jaime Moreno and Ben Olsen for their third MLS Cup victory in four years. Galaxy defender Robin Fraser left the match with a broken collarbone during the opening minutes and goalkeeper Kevin Hartman collided with John Maessner at the end of the half. Olsen was named the most valuable player of the match for his winning goal, which was scored off a misplayed backpass.The final was played in front of 44,910 spectators—a record for the MLS Cup. It was also the first MLS match to be played with a standard game clock and without a tiebreaker shootout following a rule change approved by the league days earlier.

In this case, David Beckham was the target. With some shrewd rule changes, and a healthy dose of salesmanship, he was lured to MLS to join the LA Galaxy.

Lionel Messi mania has swept across North America, and Toronto wasn't spared from the frenzy. For all the world, it looked like a head of state was holed up inside Hotel X, with police cruisers, motorcycles, and metal fences blocking off the area. Yet it wasn't a politician or royal figure at the centre of this security detail, but Messi himself.Fans in fluorescent pink chanted his name, and when the Inter Miami bus rolled out with a police escort, the crowd ran after it like a scene straight out of Beatlemania. This circus has followed Messi since he joined Major League Soccer (MLS) in 2023 after 17 years at Barcelona, and Toronto FC's home ground, BMO Field, was no different. Messi only played the final 29 minutes of the match, but his presence alone captivated the 30,217 spectators in attendance.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Tenney and NSCA Coaching and Sport Science Program Manager Eric McMahon begin by discussing increases in MLS staff and embracing the overlap between coaching and performance science staff. Tenney reflects on how experienced coaches often evolve toward mentorship, finding balance between “leader” and “practitioner.” The pair examine the new MLS-mandated performance scientist position, which requires the Certified Performance and Sport Scientist® (CPSS®) credential. Created to standardize the role and responsibilities, MLS performance scientists leverage data from GPS and force plates into effective and ethical takeaways. As President of the emerging Professional Soccer Performance Association (PSPA), Tenney shares his goals to create a network, gain representation, and increase credibility. Tenney and McMahon also explore the robust MLS developmental pipeline, interviewing strategy, and early career advice.

This episode discusses David Tenney’s PhD dissertation, An Exploration of the Leadership Competencies Required for High-Performance Directors in North American Professional Sports Organizations, which includes interviews with NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS leaders.Show Notes“It's not enough just to be a really good practitioner. You have to know how to manage, lead, and collaborate with different groups and different departments and practitioners from other areas.” 8:35 “Learning to be a good mentor. I think that most people think of themselves, if you go in a room and ask most coaches, ‘Hey, do you think you're a mentor?’ Everyone would say, ‘Oh yeah, I'm a good mentor.’ But very few of us have ever been taught [those] kind of mentorship skills and what that means, and how do you mentor young practitioners. And are you connecting with them in the way they need, not just how you want to connect with them and lead them.” 27:25 “You do always want to focus on some of the hard skills of the interview process, but I think we don't in the interview process ask enough questions around is someone stress resilient, can someone be vulnerable, can someone admit they make mistakes, can someone show that they have a growth mindset. How do they handle when they don't know the answer to something?” 30:30

When the United States was awarded the 1994 World Cup, no top-flight professional league existed in America. But, part of the proposal to FIFA included the creation of a new domestic league, and US Soccer went to work creating Major League Soccer (MLS) in parallel to preparing for the 94 World Cup. The magnitude of the event delayed the start of MLS, but when it finally kicked off in 1996, the league featured US Men's National Team and international stars expected to draw crowds to the inaugural season's games. Jeff Agoos had storied career at the University of Virginia, and was reunited with Bruce Arena as part of the first DC United team. He played in the very first MLS game and was a key part of the league's first great success story. Agoos won MLS championships in five of the league's first eight seasons, and emerged as a stalwart for the USMNT -- playing in 134 international games. He was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2009. Agoos joined Founding Futbol to share his memories from the early days of MLS and talk about how the league helped move his career forward. Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

Fulham FC is among the most storied clubs in the history of English football. And, uniquely, it holds a special place in the history of soccer in America as well. After Egyptian businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed bought the club in 1997, he promised the club would return to the England's top flight within five years. The owner began spending in the transfer market to improve the club's roster. And one unexpected source of talent emerged starting in 1999 with the arrival of Marcus Hahnemann from Colorado Rapids on Major League Soccer (MLS) - the United States. Within a few years, Fulham brought key players into its squad from the US, those players became club legends, and the concept of Fulhamerica was born. Tony Banks, journalist and author of The Great Adventure: Al-Fayed's Rollercoaster Ride with Fulham FC, joined Founding Futbol to walk through the progression of the Fulhamerica evolution. He shares his thoughts on what prompted the influx of American talent, how some players fit and how the new era of American talent at the club differs from the first wave.

Just a day prior, there were approximately 6,000 subscriptions, but this figure skyrocketed to a staggering 110,000 on July 21 when Messi played his first match in the Leagues Cup. 跟據數據分析公司Antenna報導，美國職業足球大聯盟季票（MLS Season Pass）是蘋果提供的足球賽事串流組合，梅西首次亮相邁阿密國際隊的那天，訂閱人數驚人地增加了1,690％。就在一天前，訂閱人數大約只有6,000人，但在7月21日梅西首次參加聯賽杯比賽時，這個數字飆升到了驚人的110,000人。 In a recent blog post, Antenna described the impact of Messi's arrival as the "Messi Effect," noting that this level of growth for a year-old streaming package was both unique and profound. Typically, sport-specific streaming services see a surge in sign-ups at the start of the season, followed by gradual additions due to significant games or pricing promotions. However, the statistics reveal that nearly half of all MLS Season Pass sign-ups occurred in July following Messi's entry into the league, underscoring the enormous interest he brought to Major League Soccer. 在最近的一篇部落格貼文中，Antenna將梅西的到來稱為“梅西效應”，指出這種對於一個已有一年歷史的串流組合的增長是獨一無二且深刻的。通常，特定體育串流服務在賽季開始時會有一波訂閱高峰，然後因重要比賽或價格促銷而逐漸增加。然而，統計數據顯示，幾乎一半的MLS季票訂戶是在梅西進入聯賽後的7月份訂閱的，突顯了他為美國職業足球大聯盟帶來的巨大興致。 Antenna's research also uncovered that 15% of MLS Season Pass subscribers also subscribed to Apple TV+, which is home to Apple's scripted programming, including popular shows like "The Morning Show" and "Ted Lasso." Additionally, nearly half of the new subscribers were already Apple TV+ subscribers before adding MLS Season Pass, which costs an additional $12.99 per month, to their subscription. Antenna的研究還發現，有15％的MLS季票訂戶還訂閱了Apple TV+，這是蘋果的戲劇節目平台，包括《晨間直播秀》和《泰德·拉索：錯棚教練趣事多》等熱門節目。此外，幾乎一半的MLS新訂戶在添加季票（每月額外收費12.99美元）之前已經是Apple TV+的訂戶。 It's worth noting that Antenna's data only covers sign-ups in the United States, and the global appeal of the international superstar likely extends even further. 值得注意的是，Antenna的數據僅涵蓋美國的訂閱情況，國際巨星的全球吸引力可能更大。 Apple has not disclosed the exact number of subscribers to the service. However, Apple's Senior Vice President of Services, Eddy Cue, recently stated that it is performing "much better than forecasted" in terms of subscriptions and viewership. Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, echoed this sentiment during an August earnings call, acknowledging that Messi's move to Inter Miami had a positive impact on their streaming service. 蘋果尚未公開該服務的訂戶數字。然而，蘋果服務的副總裁Eddy Cue最近表示，就訂閱和觀眾數而言，表現“優於預期”。蘋果執行長Tim Cook在八月的一次財報電話會議上也重申了這一觀點，承認梅西加入邁阿密國際隊對他們的串流服務產生了積極影響。 Messi actively promotes the MLS Season Pass on match days by sharing sign-up links on his Instagram stories. This is not surprising, as reports suggest that his deal with Inter Miami includes a share of the revenue generated from new MLS Season Pass subscribers. 梅西在比賽日積極宣傳MLS季票，包含在Instagram貼文中分享註冊連結。這並不令人意外，因為報導稱他與邁阿密國際隊的協議包括新的MLS季票訂戶所產生的收入分潤。 Last summer, Apple secured a groundbreaking 10-year, $2.5 billion deal to stream MLS matches internationally, marking the tech giant's first major sports agreement. Messi's signing has undoubtedly made this media rights deal even more valuable than initially anticipated, solidifying his status as a global soccer icon with a profound impact on the American soccer scene. 去年夏天，蘋果與MLS簽署了一項具有突破性意義的10年25億美元協議，用於國際轉播比賽，這是這家科技巨頭的首次重大體育協議。梅西的加盟無疑使這項媒體權益協議的價值比最初預期的要高，鞏固了他作為全球足球巨星對美國足球產生深遠影響的地位。 Reference article: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/05/business/leo-messi-apple-tv-signups/index.html

As athletes today become more accustomed to data feedback on their performance, Parr explains the process of effectively embedding technology in the team setting.

And we started putting together pieces of how are the coaches going to plan training based off of the training loads that we’re getting from the heart rate and different drills and things like that.” 25:00 “When we’re able to show them, I think, that we’re individualizing as much as we can, then they understand, OK, like, they’re doing it for my best interest.” 31:55 “They may be running GPS with a few teams, but not necessarily have the time to really sift through the data and make use of it and make it actionable. So is that something that you can craft out for yourself? If that’s something you’re interested in, can you say, hey, you know, like let me figure this out. Let me do this for you. Because you can create an opportunity for yourself to not only learn the tech and learn the procedures and kind of the best practices, but then also become a valuable part of what they’re doing. And you never know what that’s going to turn into, right? It could turn into an employment opportunity or a recommendation or referral to somewhere else when someone asks.” 35:05 “I think the other thing is just being adaptable, you know, like, willing to flex and adapt, not only to jobs and things like that as far as what you’re doing day to day, but situations, circumstances. If you’re very rigid in what you do in your approach, you’re probably not going to succeed in this space.” 37:50
