United in Sport: How two American star athletes fuel performance

Representing the United States is arguably the greatest honor for an American athlete regardless of the sport. Women’s wrestling superstar Helen Maroulis, with a gold medal in 2016 and a bronze in 2020, stands as a seasoned champion. Rising soccer star Cade Cowell, on the other hand, is part of the next generation of soccer players ready to make his mark.

Despite the differences in their sports – wrestling and soccer – Helen and Cade are united by a passion for competition, love of country, and a focused approach to fueling performance.

The possible head coach candidates for the USMNT following Berhalter exit

Let the USMNT head coach hunt begin.

The bomb dropped and the predictable (and in many cases wished-upon) sacking of former U.S. men’s national team coach Gregg Berhalter hit the wall, with the USMNT announcing the American manager’s firing just nine days after the national team’s embarrassing exit from the 2024 Copa América.

Reports: Spain manager Luis de la Fuente interested in USMNT head coach job

It has been reported that Spain national team manager, Luis de la Fuente, is interested in the U.S. men’s national team head coach position following the sacking of Gregg Berhalter.

Jesse Marsch says he’ll never have interest in being USMNT head coach unless big changes happen

Canada's head coach Jesse Marsch dismissed rumors of his interest in the U.S. men's national team vacancy, reiterating his commitment to the Canadian side ahead of their third-place playoff in the Copa America.

Marsch, an American, took over Canada in May and led the team to the Copa America semi-finals in his first major tournament in the job, where they are preparing to face Uruguay in the third-place match on Saturday.

Opinion: Having a hot USMNT head coach (Hervé Renard) will boost interest in national team

Yeah, you read the headline. Someone posted on social media that Hervé Renard taking over as United States men’s national team head coach would draw more interest to the team due to how objectively attractive he is. They’re probably right.

We can go on and on about Renard’s accolades leading Zambia and Ivory Coast to Africa Cup of Nations titles, but we’ve had those discussions already.
