    Love Ryan Clark. Would be awesome to see Kate as a guest on The Pivot.
  • @joenicedj
    As someone who grew up in Baltimore, watching those Ravens vs Steelers games was the pinnacle of athletic competition. Full respect to Ryan Clark.
  • @ronaldookpara644
    Shoutout to Ryan Clark for talking about Sickle cell Trait, As someone with the trait, I appreciate it
  • @Figs3
    Her accent change is wild.
  • @georgefinley1995
    Ryan Clark is one of the very few people who make me enjoy watching any sports TV since watching Stuart Scott. Kate Abdo gives me the intelligent yet personal feeling that Candice Parker provides
  • @michaelstfort
    Apparently Ryan Clark's about that action and I'm here for it. Respect

    With kids and sport, I've found it's a combination of what they want and what you want from them. Your giving up your time and they may have a team that relies on their input, so the least they can do is give 100%. If they just want to enjoy the sport, then that's totally fine. No pressure, but still give a minimum 100% regardless of ability. If they really want to make something of it, then at first they need to be pushed, but as they get older then it's up to them, though they might need a push here and there. Most kids aren't gonna make it. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try if they want, but for most kids it's about enjoying the activity while learning how to operate in a team and everyday life. One of the biggest lessons most kids can learn is that sometimes losing isn't losing, and winning isn't winning. If you know, you know.
  • I enjoyed this episode. RC is such a genuine being & i love watching him on Get Up, First Take & NFL LIVE.
  • @tm5179
    Love RC and loving the cross-over content. Kickin It, top soccer podcast out there! Nowhere else can you get USMNT legends talking to other legends/future-legends.
  • @weihnachtsman23
    Kate about to reach new hights,she is definitely the best well rounded host. over all.
  • @Knowonenew
    Kate is a true chameleon did she just talking perfect American damn 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 multi talented
  • @cesarsilva3931
    Was anyone else thinking why Kate never pulled down the other side of her shirt??😅😂
  • I'm here cos the young lady stands on business and is British and the guy they interviewed looks so familiar. I stayed because the conversation was calm, easy flowing and covered so much ground. Shorts are excellent stepping stones for content and I know next to nothing about football (soccer).
  • @miggygarcia92097
    Think this is the first ever Kicking It episode featuring a non-soccer athlete. I knew this dude from ESPN when he said criticized his former Steeler's teammate Antonio Brown because of his on and off the field antics he caused.
  • @sush139
    Who is Ryan Clark talking about as the analyst who went after him ??
