Travis talks to Mexico international (and former US youth international) Jonathan González about how he became a professional player, what his time in Mexico has been like, and what advice he would give youngsters considering a pro career. He also gets into the decision he made as a dual national to represent Mexico and gives additional advice to players out there faced with a similar decision.
The interview with Jonathan starts at 16:49. If you'd like more information about the Alianza Showcase, you can find Travis' article explaining all the details here: http://bit.ly/2mEXNzb
Prior to the interview, Taylor and Travis discuss the showcase itself, why it exists, and what role it plays in filling in some of the cracks in the US Soccer landscape. There's also some dual national chat in there as well, mostly focused on what could be done to keep talents like Richie Ledezma and Diego Pepi from wandering over to El Tri.
