SOUNDERS FC HEAD COACH BRIAN SCHMETZER
On recent second half performances:
“Halftime is a chance for the coaching staff as a group, and also the players as a group, to come together and discuss certain things we’ve seen, both on and off the field, what we’ve felt, and what the players have felt, and make corrections.
