Episode 185: Sean Monaghan Zeroes in on the Development Path of U.S. Men’s U-20 Players, and More.

Sean Monaghan is a coach from Los Angeles that is now living South Florida.

He was also one of the first guests of this podcast, long before it was the official “3four3 Podcast.”

In addition to coaching, Sean recently started writing articles for 3four3. So, I wanted to give him a proper introduction and find out why he’s zeroed in on certain topics. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Here are links to his articles so far:

• Part 1 – US U-20 World Cup: A look at the development path of the 21 man roster: goalkeepers and defenders
• Part 2 – US U-20 World Cup: A look at the development path of the 21 man roster: midfielders
• Part 3 – US U-20 World Cup: A Look at the Development Path of the 21 Man Roster: Forwards
• Can You be the Best in the World with No Budget & Playing Academy Kids?

You can also connect with him on Twitter. That is where he frequently shares information that later becomes a topic for some of his articles, like the tweet below.

Ajax spent under half a million dollars combined on:

– De Jong
– de Ligt
– Onana
– von de Beek
– Mazraoui
– Veltman
– Dolberg

Now their combined total value on Transfermarkt is $275m.

US Soccer can’t fathom legit development like this but normalizes a $200m MLS expansion fee.
