<p>Benji and Mike are joined by Spokane Zephyr FC head coach, Nicole Lukic. Their conversation begins with some shout-outs of Velocity FC following their thrilling first round playoff win vs. South Georgia Tormenta that went to penalty kicks. Then, they welcome Coach Lukic to Spokane and learn about her earliest experience with the sport of soccer and how she went from player to coach. Lukic also shares stories about her incredible success with Minnesota Aurora FC in the USL W League as well as her time working with Emma Hayes through the US Youth National Team. Finally, there are many questions that were submitted by local Zephyr FC supporters where Lukic gets a chance to describe her philosophical outlook on soccer, player development, and what comes next for the team. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Host:</strong> Benji Wade</p><p><strong>Co-Host:</strong> Mike Pellicio</p><p><strong>Guest:</strong> Nikole Lukic</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow on ⁠Instagram⁠:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/spokanesoccershow/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/spokanesoccershow/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Watch the podcast on YouTube:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SpokaneSoccerShow" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@SpokaneSoccerShow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Support the show with a donation:</strong>⁠</p><p><a href="https://www.spokanesoccershow.com/donate⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.spokanesoccershow.com/donate⁠</a></p>
