In this episode of The Pitch (Podcast!), Katie sits down with Jim Hogan (Deputy Director of Tournaments & Programs & NPSL Head Coach), Nick Papadis (Program Manager) to talk about ASA's many training programs (Ball Mastery, Junior Academy, Camps, AGP, Individual Training & more!). These programs all developed over time into the robust offerings they are today. You might be surprised to learn about the humble beginnings!
Shoutout to Grigor Boychev, beloved Junior Academy & Ball Mastery director who could not be with us during recording, and to Ben Hawkins & Will Hanna for their many years of running camps. This episode concludes Season 1! We'll be back with more fun and external guests this fall. Intro music: Mark G. Meadows
