Linda Flanagan: Take Back the Game

Mettle Sports Founder and CEO Neal Levin, along with sidekick John Henderson, tackle the issues facing soccer and youth sports in the USA. The list is long: Exorbitant costs of money and time, selective demographics, lack of equity, overcommitment of parents and kids, too much structure, bad coaches, limited access, plus much more. Through interviews, stories, debates, and fresh ideas, Mettle Sports sets out to set expose the wounds and to begin the journey towards discovering the "Culture" of Soccer and why “street soccer” will play a large role in helping fix what's broke.
