Hello again everyone, welcome to This Week in The Pyramid! Euro 2016 starts this afternoon! Trying to get all my work done in the morning so I can watch France vs Romania uninterrupted.
Before we go any further, please take some time to check out the Partners page. AP has several great partners, all working to grow the game of soccer at the lower levels, and more will be forthcoming. Check out their sites and lend them your support. Now, for your regularly scheduled program. Hartford City Is Back?: In case you forgot or just didn't know, Hartford City FC was supposed to be an NASL team. But the guy who was putting it on was running a scam, cost the city thousands and a few people in city government their jobs. But now it looks like another Hartford citizen is attempting to revive the team to start playing in 2017. Xavi On Passing: Learn from the master. Seriously. This entire article is Xavi talking about how to pass, move, and plan. Deconstructing American Soccer: A podcast from These Football Times, it gives an honest look at the challenges facing MLS as they try to become one of the world's top leagues by 2020. Greg Popovich On Character: Greg Popovich is one of my favorite coaches, and the Spurs one of my favorite teams, ever. He's the American, NBA version of Sir Alex Ferguson. This is one of the best long form interviews I've found, done by someone who know's Popovich. Since he's a notoriously tight lipped coach, its really fascinating to see him open up around someone he's comfortable with.

Trying to get all my work done in the morning so I can watch France vs Romania uninterrupted. Before we go any further, please take some time to check out the Partners page. AP has several great partners, all working to grow the game of soccer at the lower levels, and more will be forthcoming. Check out their sites and lend them your support. Now, for your regularly scheduled program. Check it out. Canadian Premier League: In case you didn't know, rumors have been swirling for quite awhile about a new Canadian Premier League, backed by the CFL. This is a good recap of what's going on, and why this needs to be announced sooner rather then later.
Riverside and Deportivo Coras: In case you didn't know, there is a team in Riverside, California that's looking to go pro. And they aren't just talking about. They're taking all the right political steps to make sure it can actually happen. An important read if you are looking, or are thinking about looking into, starting a team. I See Football Everywhere: A site from graphic designer Dan Leydon in Sligo, Ireland. He takes famous players and makes their names into famous business logos. A lot of fun to look at. The Neighborhood Team: This is what lower division soccer in the states could and should be, and in some cases, is. A short video leading to a larger documentary, everything is in Spanish, including the link to the full documentary at the end of the video, so be prepared. There are subtitles though, for the less linguistically inclined among us. Click Here to read 'The Secret World of Military Soccer: Ryan Praleikas of Minot AFB SC' Hello again everyone, welcome to This Week in The Pyramid! This week things are going to be a little different. There are big changes here, and I want to take the time to make sure you are in the know. Before we go any further, please take some time to check out the Partners page. AP has several great partners, all working to grow the game of soccer at the lower levels, and more will be forthcoming. Check out their sites and lend them your support. Now, for your regularly scheduled program. Check it out. First things first. American Pyramid is now it's own site! Wasn't it already, you ask? Kind of. I now own the domain name. This is now americanpyramidblog.com. This means I now have greater control of the site layout, and, hopefully, start offering discounted products of some kind to you to help take this site to another level. Which will be explained further in point three.
Second, serious props to Michael Taylor. As I'm sure you noticed, the logo on the site, and soon on Twitter and Facebook, has changed. That's Michael's doing. I'm proud to announce that Michael Taylor is the latest partner here at American Pyramid. He's done logo work for Oakland County FC, along with the Premier League of America. You can check out his Behance portfolio, along with his work on Dribble. Give him a shout if you need work done, and tell him AP sent you. Third, after some great feedback from an interviewee, serious consideration is being given to making American Pyramid into a podcast. Now, to be clear, this is in consideration, not a guarantee. And if it does happen, the current format of long form, story like interview will not be changing. So if you're hoping this becomes another speculation type podcast, it's not going to happen. Fourth, in an effort to make sure you don't miss out on content, I'm officially sharing my release schedule with you. All new interviews come out on Thursday mornings, and This Week In The Pyramid comes out on Friday mornings. Also, if you really want to make sure you don't miss out on anything, you can sign up for the Newsletter and get the interviews before everyone else. Fifth, if you or anyone you know is looking to get their brand/product/service out there, have them reach out to me either over social media or email at [email protected]. Let's work together to make sure the lower levels get the attention they deserve! Until next time, Stay Loyal, Support Local. Click Here to read 'Standards and Stats: Kenn Tomasch, Soccer Writer' |
