Matt Reis, starting goalkeeper for the New England Revolution is this week's guest on the Jared Montz Soccer Podcast. He was a lot of fun to interview and his story of patience and waiting for his chance to become a starter is motivating. We talked soccer, his coaches, Rev's playoff chances, took some user submitted questions, and had a few laughs.

Sorry to announce this on short notice but I got word last night that the New England Revolution's Matt Reis will be on my Jared Montz Soccer Podcast today! Matt is one of the top goalkeepers in MLS and has had that unofficial title for a long time. Just like Tom Brady with the New England Patriots you don't want to be Matt's back up because if he's healthy he's playing.
