From Croatia to Barcelona's Academy Goran's Global Soccer Journey

My guest Goran has lived more soccer cultures than almost anyone I've talked to — born in Croatia during wartime, raised through a Bundesliga club's academy in Germany, thrown into American club soccer in Dallas, then training at a high-intensity academy partnered with FC Barcelona in Argentina. We go country by country on what actually changes: the fitness-heavy grind in Germany, the small-group technical focus in Argentina, and everything in between. He also tells me about Teach Me Too, his "Airbnb for private lessons" that connects parents with vetted coaches and college players. If you want a real picture of what youth soccer looks like outside the US, this one's it.
