We're making Team Player Podcast history for a 3rd week in a row as we start 2023 out right by welcoming our 1st ever Men's Soccer coach as we are all still coming down from that historic World Cup Final! He is the longtime head coach of the Deer Park Men's Soccer program, welcome Jerry Hurtado to the show!

• Growing up in the sweetest town in the Nation: Sugar Land, TX, which also happens to be Coach Kovo's hometown!

• The one fateful day in Lumberton, TX when Coach went from being strictly a "football guy" to getting his 1st opportunity to coach "the beautiful game"

• Coach goes in depth on how he brings a regimented football mentality to soccer offseason, and how weights and mat drills have helped add pride, strength, and confidence to his squad

• Don't call him a Texans fan! Coach is Luv Ya Blue through and through! He is so Oilers that he ever pulls for the Titans now. We play a fun Astrodome edition of Oilers Mt. Rushmore.
