How to Invent a Football Club (Feat. Max Mansfield)

With men's football in a very brief offseason, it's time for a change of pace. How does a football club get started in the first place?

Maximilian Mansfield can tell you first hand. He's the CEO of Brooklyn FC, a startup club that's sprouting out of the asphalt not far from TFW HQ here in New York. Max joins the show to chat about where BKFC fits in a football ecosystem that already boasts two MLS teams, finding a home court in the borough—they've signed up to share the Brooklyn Cyclones' Maimonides Park on Coney Island—and what items are top of your To Do List when you launch a brand-new professional outfit. He also shares his own story growing up in Brooklyn after he was born in Dortmund, and how he got here from a job in finance and a stint playing non-league football in England.

You can check out Brooklyn FC at their website to learn more, and the same goes for Two Bridges Football Club, a wonderful project Max also spearheaded that will now become the formal academy for BKFC.
