Life through Sport Show | Hosted by Omar ZeenniEp.22 99' World Cup Winner, Saskia Webber | Player SeriesOur guest for today, 99 World Cup winning goalkeeper, Saskia Webber.
Before the NWSL, and before the likes of Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Carly Lloyd, you had the 99’ers.
Saskia and the 99’ers captured the imagination of the American public, and what soccer could be in the United States, after they famously defeated China in the World Cup final in front of 90,000 fans. Winning the World Cup would become the cultural moment and narrative shift that many on the team had fought for their entire careers. And as we dive into Saskia’s story throughout the epi...2023-04-181h 08
Life through Sport Show | Hosted by Omar ZeenniEp.21 How I dealt with Adversity in my Career, Omar Zeenni | Player SeriesIn today’s episode, I’m going to share 2 stories from the 9 month period from my playing career that would shape me as a player, a person and how I coach today. I guess you could say that this time was a driving force behind why I started this podcast. Because as I reflect, it taught me everything I needed to know about adversity, discipline and the realities of life. Here were a few of my takeaways and things that I try to communicate to my goalkeepers today:
Your confidence MUST stem from a proper structure of training habi...2023-04-0328 min

As you heard in the intro, Juan is all about the investment when it comes to developing his goalkeepers. He believes that it’s not only our job as coaches to tell you what you’re missing, but to also then provide you with the necessary tools to help you find success. And it’s through his collective experiences as a player that have shaped this approach.
For evidence of this, look no further than the investment from his father. Working long hours and still showing up at eve...2023-03-271h 06

Life through Sport Show | Hosted by Omar ZeenniEp.18 Former LAFC Left Back, Jordan Harvey | Player SeriesOur guest for today, former Left Back for LAFC, Jordan Harvey.
Jordan’s path has been filled with obstacles. For examples of this, look no further than when he didn’t make the final cut for his Olympic Development Program team at 13 OR when he went undrafted in the MLS Superdraft. For most, these setbacks would have forced many to reconsider or be more realistic with their career plans. Instead, he saw these bouts with adversity as them happening for him, and not to him.
That small shift in perspective would push him to not only m...2023-03-1350 min

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Enrique for 2 seasons now and that intro soundbite is one of the many topics we’ve discussed in the office. Setting objectives that aren’t only tied to results is key … this helps you see if your system of play is working. The key phrase there being, “system of play”. Throughout the episode, he shares where his philosophy came from, the mistakes he made along the way and provides a general framework for any coach lookin...2023-03-061h 14

This was most evident when his mom moved him to Guatemala when he was only 15 years old because he was getting mixed up with the wrong crowd. Joe goes on to share that this experience, although he didn’t understand it then, helped him realize the meaning and true value of tough love. And that’s exactly how one would sum up Joes coaching st...2023-02-271h 24

As you heard in the intro, Stephen is someone that was aware of the realities that came with working for an MLS club like LAFC… A reality where, his role within the club would be a desirable one for any ex player. Now, instead of adhering to this narrative and accepting his fate … he decided to do what he’s always done; put his head down, go to work, and find a way to become an asset. There’s no better example of that than his start with the...2023-01-3057 min

Instead, Max would have to earn his stripes in the USL Championship. And as you heard in the intro, Max would relish that challenge. He recognized the opportunity it presente...2023-01-2358 min

And from the outside looking in, you would think that Oka’s 400+ games with German giants Eintracht Frankfurt and legendary status at the club, meant that the stars always aligned and that the road was paved for him to succeed. But that couldn’t have been farther from the truth. From contract negotiations, to fighting relegation, to the club often looking for replacement options, you’ll hear all ab...2023-01-1650 min
