3 Old Goalies- Season 5 Episode 6: Jonny Walker

🎙️ 3 Old Goalies Podcast – Episode Feature: Jonny Walker Some goalkeepers collect saves… Jonny Walker collected chapters. And now, he’s writing new ones from the sidelines in Memphis. This week on the 3 Old Goalies Podcast, we welcome a name that echoes from MLS stadiums to South American cauldrons and now through one of the most consistent programs in college soccer — Jonny Walker, Associate Head Coach of Memphis Women’s Soccer. 🧤 From Memphis Roots to Global Gloves A Memphis native with a passport stamped in pressure, Walker carved out a professional career that most American players only dream about. He became the first American to truly establish himself in South America, starring in Chile with powerhouses like Universidad Católica and Colo-Colo — clubs where expectations don’t whisper… they roar. He didn’t just play abroad — he won, capturing a Chilean First Division title and competing in the prestigious Copa Libertadores. Then came MLS, where Walker anchored the net for the NY/NJ MetroStars and later the Columbus Crew, earning 2005 Defensive Player of the Year honors. Oh, and casually posting a league-best 0.95 goals-against average in 2003 — a number that still raises eyebrows. And yes… he also wore the red, white, and blue, earning caps with the U.S. Men’s National Team, including a shutout win over Mexico. Not a bad line on the résumé. 🎧 What We’re Diving Into In this episode, we get into: • What it really takes to succeed as an American playing in South America • The evolution of goalkeeping from his playing days to today • Building elite college goalkeepers (and what separates the good from the great) • How Memphis became one of the toughest defensive teams in the country • Stories from MLS, international play, and life between the posts ⚽ Final Whistle Thought Jonny Walker isn’t just a former pro turned coach. He’s a bridge between eras — old-school grit meets modern precision. A guy who’s seen the game from every angle… and now shapes the next generation to see it even clearer. If you love goalkeeping, coaching, or just the beautiful chaos of soccer — this is one you don’t want to miss. 🎙️ 3 Old Goalies… where the gloves may be worn, but the stories are still sharp.

Season 5 Episode 4: Lou Liberatore

🎙️ 3 Old Goalies Podcast – Season 5 Episode 4: Lou Liberatore There’s a certain language that only goalkeepers speak. It’s the language of muddy gloves, late dives, and the quiet responsibility of being the last line of defense. It’s a position that demands courage, resilience, and just a little bit of healthy insanity. And on this episode … we’re talking to someone who has spent a lifetime living in that world. Welcome back to 3 Old Goalies, the podcast where the gloves are worn, the stories are real, and the goalkeeper community comes together to talk about the craft, the chaos, and the beauty of playing between the posts. In this episode, we’re excited to welcome Lou Liberatore, the National Director of Goalkeeping for Kings Hammer Soccer Club. Lou has built a reputation as one of the most respected goalkeeper educators in the country, helping shape the development pathway for keepers across one of the largest youth soccer organizations in the United States. From building goalkeeper culture inside a massive club environment, to developing young shot stoppers who dream of playing at the highest levels, Lou has been right in the middle of it all. His work blends the art of goalkeeping with the science of modern player development, and his passion for the position shows in everything he does. Today we’re diving into: ⚽ What it really takes to develop elite young goalkeepers 🧤 How goalkeeper training has evolved over the years 🎓 Building a national goalkeeper curriculum inside a major club system 🔥 And of course… some great goalkeeper stories along the way So grab your gloves, settle in, and get ready for another great conversation.

Season 5 Episode 3: Chris Ducar

In Season 5, Episode 3 of the 3 Old Goalies Podcast, the guys sit down with Chris Ducar, the General Manager of the legendary North Carolina Tar Heels women's soccer program at the University of North Carolina, the program that holds the record for the most championships in NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship history. Few programs in the history of college athletics have defined excellence the way North Carolina women’s soccer has. In this episode, Chris takes us inside the machine that has produced decades of national titles, world-class players, and a culture that expects greatness every single day. The conversation explores what the General Manager role looks like in modern college soccer, how elite programs manage recruiting, roster building, and player development, and how the landscape of college athletics is evolving in the era of NIL, transfers, and professional pathways. Chris also shares insight on developing goalkeepers and the mentality required to thrive in championship environments, along with stories from working inside one of the most iconic programs in the sport. For coaches, goalkeepers, and anyone who loves the game, this episode offers a rare look behind the curtain of a dynasty and the people who keep it running. Another great conversation from the only podcast brave enough to center an entire show around the weirdest position on the field. 3 Old Goalies. Three guys. One position. Endless stories. 🎙️🧤⚽

Season 5 Episode 1: Kyle Johnston

🎙️ 3 Old Goalies – Season 5, Episode 1 Guest: Kyle Johnston, Goalkeeper Coach at Duke University Duke University Season 5 opens with a big-time guest and even bigger goalkeeper energy as we welcome Kyle Johnston, the man behind the gloves at Duke. When you talk about “up and coming” keeper coaches that develop elite shot-stoppers at the collegiate level, you’re talking about pressure cookers, bright lights, and margins thinner than a near-post angle. You’re talking about Kyle! Kyle pulls back the curtain on: ⚽ What it actually takes to coach goalkeepers at a top Division I program 🧠 The mental side of the position at the college level 🧤 Recruiting goalkeepers in today’s landscape 📈 The evolution of the modern keeper and how the role keeps expanding 🔥 Training intensity, culture, and building confidence under fire This episode is part coaching masterclass, part goalkeeper therapy session, and part “remember when” storytelling that only three seasoned net-minders can deliver. We dive into the reality of college recruiting. What does a Power 5 program actually look for? Is it size? Foot skills? Command of the box? Or that intangible calm that makes chaos feel like choreography? And of course, we couldn’t resist swapping war stories about the saves we still replay in our heads… and the goals we’re still blaming on the back line. Season 5 is about growth. Growth in the position. Growth in the game. Growth in the way we think about developing young goalkeepers across youth, high school, and college pathways. If you’re a: • Young goalkeeper chasing the next level • Parent trying to understand the recruiting maze • Coach building a goalkeeper culture • Or just someone who loves the lonely art of the No. 1 jersey This episode is for you.
