FieldTalk

At FieldTalk, our mission is to provide an engaging and informative narrative that captivates and entertains our readers. We prioritize fairness and accuracy in the stories we tell, films we produce, and narratives we create.

We strive to showcase the journey, technology, and art of local amateur and professional soccer with a unique perspective that inspires and empowers our readers. Beyond the game itself, we explore the wide range of activities that take place throughout a match day from pre-game preparation to the final whistle.

We also cover topical issues such as transfers, rumors, and the future of individual athletes as well as entire teams and their effect on both local and global communities. Furthermore, FieldTalk is dedicated to analyzing the impact of 'smack talk' and other verbal interactions on the playing field and beyond. We analyze the impact such discourse has on  individual performance, their perceived "street cred," and their overall approach to the sport. By doing so, we provide insights into the direct and indirect consequences of such communications have on an individuals' sporting career.

Our Story

We recognize the lack of attention to local soccer, especially in the United States, which has inhibited its growth as a sport. With our passion for soccer, we understand the need for players at a grassroots level to be given an opportunity to make a career out of it. Grassroots soccer provides even more authentic dedication to the game, while being an effective avenue for brands to reach out to the community through marketing campaigns. And our focus is on sharing powerful stories that inspire people and enable businesses and the community to work together through our unique marketing campaigns. 

OUR TEAM

Our expertise has enabled us to regularly deliver meticulously crafted, evidence-based, and captivating content. The array of articles we have produced reflects our versatility in different domains and underscores our aptitude for swiftly mastering new subject matter. Allow us to introduce the esteemed individuals who are responsible for each of our sports articles.
