Jimmy Conrad

The legend that is Conradinho joins the pod this week to drop knowledge bombs all over the place. The guys have a great conversation with the Kansas City Wiz about all things American soccer then and now. Jimmy shares his unique story of playing college ball at UCLA, being overlooked in the 1997 MLS Draft and how playing in the A League (aka USL First Division) actually set him up mentally for the rest of his career. The guys also get into whether academy kids are missing out on playing high school soccer, World Cup war stories, getting caught drinking in high school, Concacaf shenanigans and much more.  “Orange Slices” connects the past, present, and future generations of U.S. internationals around our collective soccer story. Hosted by emerging U.S. international Mark McKenzie and former U.S. international Heath Pearce, this cross-generational show is an unfiltered celebration of our national team and soccer Americana.
