Hello everyone and welcome to the DYA Network, Network Nation. Over the past few weeks, we have been discussing long term athlete development, and with the women's FIFA World Cup taking place right now in France, I wanted to focus on the young athletes involved in soccer or in the true sense “foot” ball. Today’s episode I revisit my interview with former professional soccer player, and current Army West Point mens head soccer coach Russell Payne. In episode 32, you can hear the entire interview, however, today I wanted to touch upon the five key attributes that he discussed about being an athlete, specifically a soccer athlete. He also explained valuable coaching advice and the one attribute that he looks at in an athlete the is most important in selecting a potential soccer recruit.
