Max + Vince Podcast #152 | A Bridge To The Pros with LV Lights Asst. GM Mitchell Monihan

Fresh from the Supporters' Shield celebrations on Sunday at Banc of California Stadium, the Max + Vince Podcast returns with another must-listen episode. This week, the guys are looking back at that Supporters' Shield celebration and the 1-0 loss to Nashville. Should LAFC fans be worried? Max and Vince give their thoughts on what the loss meant and how the team can learn from it ahead of the playoffs. Then it's a brief look at which team LAFC will face in the second round of the MLS Cup Playoffs before bringing on a special guest. Mitchell Monihan has spent the last two seasons as the assistant General Manager of the Las Vegas Lights. Last year, he worked closely with then-Lights head coach Steve Cherundolo. This year, the Lights have turned a corner, setting franchise records in wins and points and they have a pivotal final match of the season against Galaxy 2 with a possible playoff berth on the line. Max and Vince ask Mitchell what's changed from this season to last, how LAFC uses the Lights to connect its Academy and First Team, and what life is like on the development side of things with young players.
