Where: Estadio RFK
I got to go to a DC United coaches clinic as part a member of the DC United coaches association.
For lunch DC U served some delicious papa john's pizza. Although pizza outside in 90 degree heat is not the best time for pizza, it was still pretty sweet. I assumed there would be just cheese and pepperoni but they had a wide variety of pizzas including a veggie pie. Additionally, Goalkeeper coach and former DC goalkeeper Mark Simpson got pizza and was hanging out and answering questions. He seemed like a super nice guy! It was also great that one of the other coaches asked Mark a bunch of questions and then when he walked off to go eat his pizza asked us "So who was that guy?" Seriously? You are going to ask a dude if he ever played for the national team and not know who he is and what position he played? Crazy!
This was a super great experience to see a pro level practice and a high level club team (DC United U16 academy team). The addition of pizza only made it better!
