    E213: Inside the Community Club Model with Frank Gurnick

    Continuing the conversation about youth soccer, we are joined by a soccer educator, youth coach, and lifelong soccer aficionado, Frank Gurnick, or as we like to call him, Frankie G! In a broad-ranging discussion, we touch on everything from what defines a community club to the inherent conflict between volunteer non-profit boards and their executive leadership.  But it isn't all serious soccer talk. In addition to the standard banter, Frankie G has some of the best one-liners out there and some crazy recall for names and teams of players that he's coached over the years.
