Ep. 277: David Murray | Soccer Dad

About this episode

David Murray discusses his book 'Soccer Dad' and shares insights on the experiences of being a soccer parent.

Not only does he play the part of a "Soccer Dad," he actually wrote a book called "Soccer Dad." David Murray, author and award-winning journalist, chats with me and an old-time friend, also a "Soccer Dad," Christian Moder. David talks about the book, his daughter Scout, and his personal discoveries, tying the game, the travels, the expectations, and the unexpected sadness when it all came to an end in story form. A truly fun conversation exploring some of the subtleties we all experience as "soccer parents," but don't really realize what is happening in real time... or at least until it's all over.
