## Resource

USMNT and Leeds United star midfielder Brenden Aaronson joins Rog to reflect on the emotional moment he learned he made the 2026 USMNT roster, Pochettino's latest message to the squad, and what to expect versus Senegal and Germany in the final tune-ups before this summer's tournament begins.  Brenden discusses the mentality shift that helped transform his season in the Premier League, and how Daniel Farke's mid-game tactics adjustment versus Man City helped Leeds soar to new heights.  Aaronson opens up about battling criticism, earning back the love of the Leeds supporters, and how the “dungeon” training sessions with his father growing up in South Jersey still shape his play.
