Voice of the Game – Tom McCabe and Kirk Rudell (Denville, New Jersey) - In 1963, a humble young German immigrant — a factory worker, with a special love for soccer — arrived to America’s shores. Quietly, over decades, his unique coaching approach and life philosophy, has inspired countless of his “students” to achieve playing and coaching success at the highest levels of the sport in the United States and beyond. You’ve likely never heard his name, but his players know him as “the voice of the game." A foundational figure, Manfred Schellscheidt is the least known, but most influential coach in American soccer history. His “coaching tree” remains unrivaled in American soccer history. And its branches continue to expand today. 2021; 60 min.
