#485: John O'Brien joins the pod

The former Ajax and USMNT midfielder, a key player in the 2002
World Cup quarterfinal run, joins Belz for a conversation that
touches on, among other things, how the Dutch trained total
football in the late 1990s, playing for Bruce Arena, the goal v
Portugal, some of the innovative stuff John is working on in his
psychology practice in Colorado, and the extent to which club
academies have a responsibility to develop not just soccer
players but whole people and functioning adults.
