This week we are excited to be joined by Philadelphia Union U18 head coach Peter McDonnell. He discusses what makes the MLS club so unique when it comes to player development and how the club has created alignment from first team to all youth levels. The complexity of professional development is also a key topic as Peter shares how players balance academics, social media, and the rollercoaster nature of the game, in their journey. A true student of the game, Peter also talks about his experiences with a variety of different coaching course and the benefits of each one.
