The boys welcome USL League One legend Aaron Walker on the pod this week. Aaron made a name for himself during his unprecedented years of success with Greenville Triumph, but now finds himself in a different role. We dig deep into what made Greenville such a special time for Aaron, from the titles to the culture. The conversation delves into the dynamics of his recent transition into a player-coach role with Tormenta, a club Jam knows very well, and learning under Coach Ian Cameron as he forms who he wants to be as a coach. We discuss the evolving landscape of football, and whether football has now become boring, with modern football being so tactic driven and players playing with much less freedom. Aaron shares insights on managing player relationships and the challenges of balancing playing and coaching roles, and as always, we finish up with Extra Time. Enjoy the show!
