In his Twitter bio, Daniel Workman describes himself as a “Husband, Dad, Entrepreneur, Creative, and Footy Fanatic.”

Combining all of those gets you a man on a mission to expose some of the cracks in American soccer, from top to bottom and back up to the top again.

In this episode, Daniel discusses:

• When he first started to notice that something was wrong with soccer in our country.
• How he went from soccer dad to Eric Wynalda’s campaign manager.
• The purpose of his own podcast called Soccer Works which allows him to discuss his ideas for the future of American soccer.

This episode starts with a mashup of Daniel’s own short, but potent podcasts. Each episode lasts only two minutes and focuses on one specific area of American soccer. I would describe Soccer Works as a crash course in soccer problems and politics from a guy with a lot of first-hand experience.
