Description

Beyond the Touchline is where elite coaching insight meets world-class commentary.
Hosted by Coach Nick Cowell, one of the winningest coaches in NCAA history, and veteran international broadcaster Adrian Healey, the podcast explores the global game through two rare and complementary lenses: the bench and the booth.
The show launches with a 12-episode countdown to the 2026 World Cup, unpacking the tournament’s expansion to 48 teams, profiling contenders and dark horses, and examining the structural, tactical, and cultural forces shaping the modern game. Each episode blends narrative, sharp analysis, and informed debate in under 60 minutes.
Expect big questions:
Does expansion create chaos or genius?
Can Argentina repeat?
Does hosting actually matter?
Is depth now more important than brilliance?
After 2026, the show expands beyond the tournament into leadership, player development, media, and the evolving future of football.
Smart, structured, and globally minded, Beyond the Touchline is for fans who want more than noise.
