Club & College Program Partnerships 

I want to work with top youth clubs and college programs to give them their own recurring show inside the I Hate Soccer podcast platform.
This is for serious clubs that want to:
  • Tell their story in depth
  • Educate parents and players​
  • Promote their club to the I Hate Soccer audience
You don’t just “appear” on the show.
You get your own branded series.  
Season 1: Your OWN Show (12 Episodes)
​
​Each club/college program partnership is built as a 12‑episode "Season 1" over 12 months.
You get:
  • 12 custom‑branded episodes (about one per month)
  • Your own show naming and numbering, for example:
    “I Hate Soccer | Orlando City FC Show #1–#12” or "I Hate Soccer | Wayne State Show #1-12"
  • Episodes for your club could include:
    • ​Club Executive Director or Owner
    • Girls Director of Coaching
    • Boys Director of Coaching
    • Technical Director
    • Youth Academy Director
    • Coaching Staff
    • ​College Recruiting Coordinator
    • Mental health coaches
    • Former prominent player alumni 
  • Episodes for your college program could include:
    • ​Head Coach
    • Assistant coaches 
    • Goalkeeper coach
    • Recruiting coordinator
    • NIL Director
    • Strength and Conditioning coaches
    • Physios
    • Junior and Senior players
    • Mental health coaches
    • Nutrition coaches
    • Director of Athletics
  • A dedicated "host-read" segment in every episode to advertise:
    • ID camps
    • Tryouts
    • Tournaments & Showcases
    • Youth Academy
By the end of Season 1, you have a real archive: 12 long‑form episodes you can send to families and feature on your site.

Season 2

​(Episodes #13–#24) is available as a renewal so you can keep building your library each year.
​6‑Episode Packages also available! (No Custom Show Numbering)
​
For clubs that want a smaller commitment or a focused campaign, 6‑episode packages are available without individual show numbering.
  • 6 episodes featuring your staff over an agreed‑upon timeframe
  • Episodes run in the I Hate Soccer feed as guest-featured episodes, without a separate “Show #1–#6” numbering system
  • Ideal for:
    • Shorter‑term storytelling (e.g., one seasonal cycle)
    • Highlighting a specific age group, pathway initiative, or event series
  • Includes the same high‑quality production and promotion support
  • Available for clubs nationwide to promote through our Patreon community
6‑episode packages are a great entry point if you want to test the impact before committing to a full 12‑episode Season 1.
Local In‑Person vs. National Remote Options

​Option A: Local In‑Person Recording (Within a 5 hour driving distance of Metro-Detroit)
​(Limited) For clubs within my travel radius, I can come to your facility and record in person.
  • On‑site recording days with your staff
  • Higher‑energy, face‑to‑face conversations
  • Opportunity to knock out multiple episodes in one day
  • In‑person recording is available for clubs within driving distance of Metro Detroit. For clubs up to approximately a 3-5 hour drive, extended in‑person days are available with an additional travel fee and minimum episode commitment.
Availability is limited and subject to travel and scheduling.

Option B: National Remote Recording (Available Everywhere)
For clubs across the country, we record remotely using StreamYard.
  • These shows will be uploaded exclusively on Patreon
  • 3 vertical clips optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
  • Your staff join from home or the office using a simple browser link
  • No travel required
  • Same 12‑episode Season 1 structure and custom show branding
  • Professional audio/video recording handled on my end​
Social Media Clips for Your Club posted on all I Hate Soccer Social Media!

​Every episode in your Season 1 includes:
  • 3–5 vertical clips optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
  • Clips focused on your staff, culture, college pathway, and key messages
  • Permission for your club to post the clips on your own channels, tagging I Hate Soccer
Promotion Expectations

To make sure your club gets maximum value from the partnership, I ask each partner club to:
  • Include each new episode in at least one email to your families within 7 days of release
  • Feature the series on your website (news post or dedicated section)
  • Post at least one social media mention per new episode, tagging I Hate Soccer
You keep full control of your email list and communication; I never ask for your contact database.
