"Goalkeeping is 75 percent mental." In this episode, we chat with Jeff Attinella, goalkeeper for the Portland Timbers of the MLS. We talk the mind of a soccer goalkeeper, the Portland Timbers, and an athlete creating content.  All of this and more with Portland goalkeeper, Jeff Attinella.  Jeff led the Timbers’ team to the 2018 MLS Cup. He played college soccer in his home state at the University of South Florida. His junior season he was an All American and Big East goalkeeper of the year. In the MLS, besides playing for the Portland Timbers Attinella also played for Real Salt Lake and was a backup goalie during their MLS Cup run in 2013.  Besides being a goalkeeper, Jeff is husband, father and a content creator. A creator in the sense that he is a podcast host and children's book author. You can hear his podcast From J to Z on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. His children's books can be found on his publishing platform, ItHadToBeTold.com or Amazon. You can see links to his books below. After you spend time listening to Jeff and learning about his story, you will absolutely be drawn to his content.   One thing that really stood out in this chat is Jeff’s mindfulness. We believe you’ll come to understand what I mean after listening to this conversation. We are excited to feature Jeff Attinella on the SportsEpreneur Podcast.  The post SE27 | Jeff Attinella | Portland Timbers Goalkeeper Has Many Stories appeared first on SportsEpreneur.
