As the San Jose Earthquakes settle into their new home at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, ahead of the scheduled MLS is Back Tournament, defender Tommy Thompson says the team is figuring out what to do with their free time, and of course, gearing up for the games ahead.
Thompson said players get their own rooms at the hotel, and he’s been busy in the initial days conducting zoom coaching sessions with youth players as part of his new venture launched during the coronavirus pandemic to mentor young players.
But after months of isolation from the team during the season, Thompson told reporters during a conference call last week the squad feels a boost by being able to live semi-normally again together.
