    Phebe Trotman: Never Quit On A Bad Day

    Phebe Trotman podcast.We are back with our brand-new edition of the Soccer Stories Podcast!In our newest podcast episode, we sit down with Phebe Trotman. I am so glad my dad and I got the chance to interview her and share her story. Phebe is an inductee into multiple sports hall of fames, and the author of "Never Quit on a Bad Day." The conversation is nothing short of captivating as she shares her experiences, from the early days of playing on an all-boys team to reaching the pinnacle of her career and beyond. Phebe Trotman's story is a testament to the idea that it's not the victories alone that shape a champion, but also the setbacks and the courage to rise above them. Her insights into the tactical, technical, and mental aspects of soccer are profound, offering a glimpse into what it takes to excel at the highest levels of the sport. We talked about: How her love of football blossomed Her time as a young girl playing on an all-boys team When she decided she wanted to become a pro player How she ended up playing in the US Playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps, And much more... We also spent time talking about her book (which I was lucky enough to read) I love Phebe's book because it gives you inspiration, motivation and then backs it up with tools and actionable steps. She's so passionate about sharing the "tough stuff" so people can see the "story" behind the story and learn what other people did to get past their challenges, and how to take those lessons and use them in their own life. But it's not just about soccer. Phebe's philosophy of life, encapsulated in the title of her book, resonates with anyone striving to overcome obstacles. Her message is clear: quitting is not an option, especially not on a bad day. I loved hearing about Phebe's recounting of scoring goals, outmanoeuvring opponents, and embracing every chance to shine. Her story is inspiring. Phebe is a great speaker and storyteller and is a great personality to interview. This interview was captivating and full of insights into soccer and life! A must-listen episode for anyone who has ever faced a challenge and wondered if they could make it through. So, lace up your boots, plug in your headphones, and prepare to be inspired.

    Soccer Stories: Get into the Journey with Elliot Simmons of Cavalry FC

    Soccer Stories: Get into the Journey with Elliot Simmons of Cavalry FC. Hey everyone, it’s Jack here and today CPLFever is releasing an interview with one of the best midfielders in the CPL. One of my favourite players, Cavalry FC Regista Elliot Simmons! I first met Elliot when I was a ball retriever for the Halifax Wanderers. I often got to talk with Elliot for a little bit in the hours leading up to kickoff. Elliot was always so kind and really easy to talk to. I always enjoyed watching him, too. I thought he was a tidy player with good technique and I always was impressed by his excellent soccer IQ. Cavalry FC It's clear that Elliot has found his home with Cavalry FC and under the tutelage of head gaffer, Tommy Wheeldon Jr. We ask him a ton of questions about Cavalry ranging from what it is like to play under Tommy Wheeldon Jr., and whether he thought his gaffer was the best-dressed gaffer in the CPL. Then we also talk about Elliot’s game style, how he has become such an amazing midfielder, how he developed his soccer IQ, his passing skill, and more!

    Soccer Stories: Get Into The Journey With Victory Shumbusho

    Victory Shombusho is our latest player interview. Hey everyone, it’s Jack here and I’m so incredibly thrilled to finally be releasing our interview with Victory Shumbusho!  Victory gives some AWESOME tips on being a top striker. (Unfortunately this interview was delayed as the audio needed some editing - but the final product is good.) Every great player has had a different pathway on their way to becoming a professional soccer player, but I wanted to interview Victory because I think he has a story that is so inspiring. When I first read about him in a Canadian Premier League article, I was so inspired by his story that I wanted to know more about him. We discussed his time in the Congo and we also spent time talking about what life was like in Uganda. He talks about how he started playing soccer in Uganda after moving from Congo. Victory speaks about how in Uganda, you had to be good enough to get on the field and play soccer. He had a desire to improve, and he asked a really good player to teach him tricks. Victory would do chores for the guy and in return, this player would teach Victory tricks and moves that he would practice. This really helped him develop his skills in a competitive environment. Victory is someone who was persistent and he never gave up on his dream – Now he is starting to see the fruits of his labour by being a dominant striker at the U-Sports level and on the brink of playing in the CPL. I know if I was a coach of any CPL team, I would want him: fast, strong, and with a killer shot, Victory sounds like the whole package to me. When Victory talked about being a striker, he was so descriptive that it really gave us a window into the “thinking” of a striker and he gave so many good tips for young players trying to excel in that position. 💪 Tip: For young strikers trying to learn from someone who plays your position, make sure you listen to this interview. Overall, interviewing Victory is a definite must-listen. Follow his story and discover how he fell in love with soccer, came to Canada, his mindset and belief in sports psychology, his time with the Vancouver Whitecaps, what it was like being drafted by Pacific FC and Pa-Modou Kah, his time in U sports, and more...

    Soccer Stories: Get Into The Journey With Ollie Bassett

    Welcome to another episode of “Soccer Stories: Get Into The Journey.” This week’s guest is Northern Ireland midfielder, Ollie Bassett. I personally was so excited when Ollie accepted our offer to interview him. Ollie, a newcomer to Pacific FC this year, has done fantastically under Pa-Modou Kah. Before I had even seen Ollie play in the CPL I was excited for him because I had a hunch that he was going to be a real quality player for the Tridents. I have really enjoyed seeing him on the pitch for Pacific FC and in fact, I wrote an article about him after speaking to him in the press room. In the interview, I had an absolute blast. We started off this interview by talking about his time in the Aston Villa Academy and how that shaped him as a player. It was incredible to get all of the details and to get on the inside of what a top club would be like. I especially liked hearing about how everything was done with a ball, for example, fitness was done with a ball and it was to get you as many touches on the ball as possible as a youngster. We also spend a big portion of time chatting about futsal. Ollie explains how futsal also helped mold him into the soccer player that he is today. Other topics we cover are his time in Yeoviltown, New Zealand, and playing for Northern Ireland. During the course of the interview, you notice that Ollie is determined, committed to his sport and his attitude is something that young players should pay attention to because his attitude is top-notch, and in the professional game that is how you overcome the many roadblocks you will face. So have fun and listen to this interview with one of my favourite players to watch in the CPL.

    Welcome to another episode of, Fans Of The League with the Halifax Pirate himself, Denton Froese! We did our first fans of the league episode a while back with Missy Searl. Daddy and I really enjoyed doing that and we are happy to be releasing another interview with another Wanderer’s superfan.  Denton has been an avid supporter of the Halifax Wanderers and a bright spot whenever I got to see him at the grounds.  When I was a ballboy at the Wanderers Grounds I would always see him in the stands cheering extra loudly in his absolutely awesome outfit! In this interview, I was so excited to get his story. We talked about his love of the Halifax Wanderers, his fanzine "The HFX Cookbook,"  how his outfit came about, and of course, how excited he was to get back in the stands at the Wanderers grounds! I have to say one of my favourite parts about the interview was hearing about how his pirate outfit came about. So if you want to know how an opera coat became a pirate coat and why Denton describes the experience as being the first on the dance floor, then be sure to have a listen! So get ready and enjoy this interview with Halifax Wanderer’s superfan, the Pirate of the Wanderers Grounds, also known as Denton Froese! Check out the blog post here.
