Welcome to the first GP Soccer Podcast! Host Giovanni Pacini will be covering the world of soccer primarily through the lens of player and coach development. Listeners will enjoy a series of guests from across the soccer spectrum as the show looks to offer differing voices on some of the most important issues in the game today; particularly here in the US. The show will feature an "Offsides" segment with commentary on issues that need to be addressed, both good and bad. The "Mail Bag" allows listeners to e-mail in questions for Pacini for on air discussion as well.
Pacini was co-host of the Direct Kick Soccer Radio Show in the mid 90's and has a long and distinguished career as a soccer professional. He is a United Soccer Coaches National Staff and National Goalkeeper Staff Coach, serves the organization as the State Director for MA, NH, and RI. He is a USYS East Region Staff Coach and oversees all training for NH North ODP. He enjoyed a successful collegiate coaching career as a head coach for over 25 years and has the pleasure of now serving as the goalkeeper coach at Regis College.
