Union II embracing Gartung’s mentality for 2020
It’s 8:30 a.m., the wind is blowing hard off Delaware River as the sun does its best to warm up the players before the latest training session. As activation begins, new Philadelphia Union II Head Coach Sven Gartung reminds his young squad, “you have the best job in the world as soccer players.”
That is the mindset that Gartung wants his team to remember in every single situation during the 2020 USL Championship season. While he’s only been the club’s head coach for less than a month, it is already clear that a belief in making the most of every minute the beautiful game gives you is fundamental to Gartung’s mentality.
