What an amazing experince to play against PSG! First half finished 0-0 and in second half we were down 2-0 and managed to tie it up to make it 2-2. Then, PSG scored a last minute penalty to finish with a final score of 3-2. Played full 90 mins, what a great game and extremely proud of the team! 🔥

THE MOST TALENTED PLAYER ISN’T ALWAYS THE RIGHT PLAYER. 👀

When it comes to making a team, is individual talent enough, or does fitting into a coach’s system matter more?

In Episode 05 of The Players Chat, NCAA Division 2 college athlete Alex Hess gets into the topic of player selection and why being good at the game doesn’t always guarantee a spot or an opportunity.

🎙️ Episode 05 drops 10.20.26!

At 14 years old, Alex Hess was using Messi to set his own goals.

Instead of just watching one of the greatest players in the world, Alex was paying attention to the numbers, setting his own targets and pushing himself to see how close he could get 🤏

A little delusional? Maybe.

But that mindset became part of the way he approached the game. Always setting another goal, always pushing himself in the game 💪

In Episode 05 of The Players Chat, Alex shares how that mentality helped shape his journey from Connecticut to trials in Europe and eventually a college athlete

🎙️ Episode 05 drops 10.20.
