He joined CrunkChocolate for a wonderful discussion about how he fell in love with the sport, a bit on his father, the growth in US Women's soccer, and more.TOPICS:- Intro- How did you fall in love with soccer/football- You have a truly one of a kind experience being the son of Tony DiCicco experiencing the USWNT squad. Did it feel like you were seeing the birth of the US women's football renaissance?- Watching the women's game grow in the US. What are the next step(s) for the game to continue to grow?- Conversation about which is the “better” league between NWSL and WSL. Is there a correct answer or should we enjoy the leagues for what each offers?- USMNT has disappointed many for some time under this golden generation? Should we as fans accept that getting to the round of 16 in the WC and possibly being the best club in CONCACAF is all we will get? Does the US Soccer fan base expect too much from the squad?

This episode is co-hosted by Michelle's son, Cody. As Michelle shares, "If you want to know who I am, Cody has been with me through it all." According to Cody, growing up, "my classmates and teachers would pull me aside and say, 'we know who your Mom is,' but for me, she was just my Mom." Michelle was born 6 years before Title IX, and never got to watch women compete growing up. Her hero was Super Bowl champ, Mean Joe Greene, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle. She didn't have a professional predecessor, so she became the Mean Joe Green – and more – of women's soccer. Legendary USA coach Tony DiCicco described her as “the best woman that has ever played.” She played on the first USWNT (the 1985 team!), won the first Women's World Cup and Golden Boot (‘91), was the first women's player to gain global fame, the first player to sign a shoe deal, and was named FIFA Player of the Century ('00). Throughout it all, Michelle's journey has been characterized by her unbridled love of the game, an unwillingness to deal with BS (she always keeps it real and calls a spade a spade), and a prioritization of her family and teammates. In fact, this ENTIRE 1985 series was her idea, as she wanted to give credit to her teammates for the foundational role they have played in the USWNT. In Michelle's story she shares about her ups and downs, her battles with U.S. Soccer, and her life today with son Cody on the farm. We hear from Anson Dorrance (Women's Soccer Coach, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill & Former Coach, USWNT), Jill Ellis (President, San Diego Wave & Former Coach, USWNT), Lesle Gallimore (GM, Seattle Reign FC & Michelle's Former USWNT Pool Teammate), and Heather O'Reilly (USWNT and TST teammates).

Jill Ellis' tenure as United States women's national team head coach came to a close with a victory and a draw in a pair of friendly matches against South Korea. That final win gave Ellis 106 in her career as U.S. head coach, setting a new record for the position. Tony DiCicco won 105 games as U.S. head coach. On this week's episode, Chelsey Bush and Jeff Kassouf discuss the highs and lows of Ellis' time in charge, which included back-to-back World Cup titles. They also speculate on who might replace her as head coach and -- perhaps more important -- what that person needs to do right away, no matter who it is. As always, they take your questions at the end of the podcast.

This week, with the Women's World Cup underway and the United States Women's National Team about to play their first game, I have found myself thinking of Tony DiCicco and the conversation I was lucky enough to have with him, as well as his contribution to the game as a coach and coach-educator. I had the privilege of meeting Tony at a coaching course with what was then the NSCAA, now United Soccer Coaches, and a little while later I was surprised when I found Tony's contact information in the subscriber list of The Coaching Journey's blog. I quickly sent him a message and after a bit of back and forth, we got on the phone and recorded a conversation. Tony's legacy will never disappear from the game, or from the countless players and coaches he has impacted however big or small. Our conversation, although several years old as of today's release, is still full of valuable and timely pieces of wisdom which is another testament to Tony. Enjoy the discussion, enjoy just a sliver of wisdom from Tony, and as you watch this year's World Cup, take a moment and think of those who have helped pave the way for today's players and coaches.

The 38th episode of the Kill Cliff Podcast is here! We are joined by Jenn Dancer for this episode. Jenn is a former professional soccer player and CrossFit Games athlete. She played collegiately at the University of Missouri and professionally in the U.S. and Sweden. She has competed both as an individual and on a team at the CrossFit Games, including a second place finish in 2018 with her Invictus team.  Zinno and Dancer talk about Jenn's early life which was filled with multiple sports, her eventual focus on soccer, her collegiate career at Mizzou, getting her chance to play professionally for the Boston Breakers, training for the U.S. National team, the influence that coach Tony DiCicco had on her career, playing overseas in Sweden, meeting her husband Sam Dancer through CrossFit, transitioning to CrossFit, and more.   

We talk all things related to United Soccer Coaches Education. Lisa Cole joins host Dean Linke to talk about goalkeeping education and taking over for the late Tony DiCicco.

Stuart Brown, Executive Director of Tennessee Soccer Club, wraps things up talking about his experiences taking the National, Advanced National and Premier Diplomas and how they made him not only a better coach, but a better person.

Our World Cup fever has yet to break, and we spend this week reveling in some of the heretofore unexplored (at least on this podcast) nooks and crannies of modern-day American pro soccer history with one of its most unsung front office heroes.  In a career spanning over four decades, sports PR and event management executive Thom Meredith has proverbially “seen it all” across some of US sports’ most remarkable leagues, franchises and governing bodies – including remarkable (and sometimes dubious) assignments like: handling press for the woeful NFL expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers of 1976-77; managing communications for Lamar Hunt’s World Championship Tennis circuit of the early 1980s; and directing a litany of events for the fast-growing (and World Cup USA-fueled) US Soccer Federation of the 1990s.  But it’s Meredith’s work across some of the most exciting (and exasperating) teams of the late 1970s/early 1980s North American Soccer League – the Tampa Bay Rowdies, Washington Diplomats, Philadelphia Fury, and Dallas Tornado – as well as the enormously well-funded, but ultimately ill-fated Women’s United Soccer Association of the early 2000s, that really piques our obsessive interests. In this episode, we journey back with Meredith – the consummate professional soccer management insider – as he recounts priceless moments shared in the trenches with a veritable Who’s Who of the modern American game’s most indelible personalities, including: Shep Messing, Francisco Marcos, Al Miller, Phil Woosnam, Jim Karvellas, Seamus Malin, Alec Papadakis, John Hendricks, Timo Liekoski, Dick Berg, Tony DiCicco, Pele – and, of course, the incomparable investor-patron Hunt. We thank Podfly, SportsHistoryCollectibles.com, and Audible for their support of this week’s show!
