What soccer junkies should binge on Netflix

With nearly the entire midwest in the midst of an arctic blast, many schools have closed down and clubs have cancelled their training sessions for the next couple of days.  How should your players past the time?  How should coaches pass their time and still be productive?  

In comes the greatest invention in modern history.  Netflix.  Here are a few Netflix documentaries and/or shows that any soccer junkie should spend the next few days diving into!

First and foremost, Concrete Football.  I don't think that the United States will ever catch up to the rest of the world simply because we lack a certain CULTURE.  After France won the World Cup, NIKE seemingly the next minute had a commercial that spoke about how France did not win the World Cup in Russia, it was won before that. It was won on the streets.  Concrete Football goes behind the scenes of what makes France the biggest soccer hotbed in the world.  Their street soccer CULTURE.

Bobby Robson will go down as one of the best managers of all time.  This doc has interviews with other legends such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, and The Real Ronaldo.  This is a must watch for any soccer coach or student of the game.  Listening to how the players talked about him is what every coach should dream of being talked about by their own players.

"If you're a famous painter you're never rich until you're dead.  With managers, you're never appreciated until you're gone." -Bobby Robson

This is a series of ten episodes that breaks down some of the best players to ever play in the Premier League.  I especially enjoyed the Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Paul Ince, David Seaman and Ruud van Nistelrooy episodes.  Through these episodes players take you through the adversity they went through to become what they now are.  Legends.​

This one is especially for coaches!  This is a subtitled documentary that follows three lower level clubs in Germany.  From a promotion and relegation battle, to an in-season firing, this really gives an in depth look of what coaching at the professional level is really like.

​There are many more documentaries that have been on Netflix in the past that are currently unavailable that you should keep an eye out for in the future. 
  • The Class of 92' | The players who inspired a generation documentary on Manchester United
  • Becoming Zlatan 
There are also many that I have not watched and look forward to watching ASAP!
  • Barca Dreams
  • Becoming Champions
  • Sunderland til' I die
  • Class of 92 | Out of their league

    I consider myself a soccer teacher.  Not a soccer coach.  Many coaches will tell a player what to do, when to do it, and where to do it.  My focus is to give each of my players the WHY.
