Here now is a run down of another years worth of soccer lectures (even though they came at an awkward pace)

65 Saying goodbye to our pooch and remembering: love is the thing that lasts.

66 A vacation, a great indie-rock band, Alebrijes and Regan Charles Cook teaching us: all that is, is what we need right now.

67 A special note from Chris Citowicki: explaining how find joy and work through adversity.

68 Managers from Streich to Heath, more powerful leaders, superheroes of every stripe and the lesson that power isn’t part of people.

69 Watching the Loons playoff hopes and remembering to focus on the present moment alone

70 Encanto, Ross County, Burn Out and how there’s power and strength and beauty, just in being.

71 Alex’s strategizing: Keep it Simple, Son.

72 Owen’s realization while watching injuries and own goals that Good things can come: even from ouchies..

73 The World Cup, Harry Potter, problematic favorites and why it’s vital to remember that art is owned by the audience, not the artist.

74 valuable lessons from when we weren’t watching:
.1 Rosenborg/Alebrijes teach us balance yourself, neither your strengths nor your struggles define you.
.2 Minnesota’s teams and Ross County tell us there’s no place like home….so enjoy it while it lasts
.3 Freiburg’s failing explains that much as we want the shiniest trophies, being your best, regardless of the result can be the greatest reward
.4 Punjab’s long run showing that whatever else you focus on, life carries on.
.5 Vozdovak offers the inspiration that Hope is a thing with dragon wings.
.6 How Montana’s showdowns reflect that game recognizes game
.7 Atrophy in Grenoble reminds us to never underestimate the element of surprise
.8 Legon Cities needs to remember that love is love, but dependency is dangerous.
.9 Emelec’s unfortunate outcomes force us to remember part of the journey is the end, and that’s beautiful too.

75 Being new Freiburg fans and how, even without a nice shiny trophy: the journey itself is special.

75.5. Obviously, 2022 was a weird year, but that’s the only sort of year we’ve had since you boys have been alive. We’re surrounded by more and more and more stimuli, but that’s to be expected. If this year taught us anything it was to remember: appreciate the present and what is, let go of the future, the past, and what you wish things would be.
