Behind every athlete is a human being navigating the demands of the game, recovery, relationships, pressure, & everyday life. We sat down with the USLPA Exec. Board to talk about the routines, habits, and perspectives that help them stay grounded throughout a long pro season.

USL Championship players are fighting for basic professional standards. @ussoccer sets the standard for the game in this country, so why are players pushing for the minimum? The message is simple: Do you stand with the players? #StandUpForStandards Photo Credit: Simeon Pol

@RiseUsl @Tom_Hindle_ @m00kie59 The league.

@Tom_Hindle_ @m00kie59 What does it cost to run a professional soccer team I mean after paying the electric, gas, water bills, paying the office staff, coaches, players, Drs. If you built a stadium paying the contractors. So if you increase players salaries where do you get the 💰if you don’t have it?

The USL Championship season kicked off without a CBA in place. The players can't afford to strike. The league says it can't afford to give up anymore. Inside tense negotiations that can shape the future of American soccer: goal.com/en-us/lists/th…

FULL TIME SAFC WINS 🥳 What a start to the season at home!

REPORT: On Wednesday, the USL emailed all Championship players with information on procedures for crossing a potential picket line and resigning their union membership, sources have confirmed to The Guardian. Details, including the attached "FAQs" pdf: theguardian.com/football/2026/…

We love this league. That’s why we’re holding it accountable. Behind the “builder” story:
$0 contracts.
No health insurance.
20 folded clubs.
Players left behind. Growth can’t come at the expense of the people who power it. #StandUpForStandards

Players have spoken. Players have overwhelmingly REJECTED the league’s latest CBA proposal — and AUTHORIZED A STRIKE if necessary. This isn’t about extras. It’s about basic professional standards. The message is unified. The players are ready.

@degengambleh @vvvdotnet Big time stuff 🚀

Wanted to share this with you guys from a while now. I am deep in the @vvvdotnet ecosystem (as the "vVv" in my name signifies) I hold a Whale and a Platinum Node. With the final private node sale on July 31st, I’m adding more. These Nodes are a one-time investment for passive yield from top-tier token launches, partner airdrops, and $V rewards - no active management needed. 3 tiers: ◾️ Silver ◾️ Gold ◾️ Platinum (only 50 left) Higher tiers = more yield from each token launch, more $V, and more airdrops. I've known @mrseanvvv for years now - generous, sharp, and one of the most high integrity people in the space. vVv has always delivered. This isn’t hype. This is conviction. This is how I’m staying exposed without chasing every shiny new coin.

@vvvdotnet Gotta tap in

@vvvdotnet @mrseanvvv Gonna be a good one.
