Landon Donovan on San Diego Wave gig: 'I don't worry about the next job'
Briefly

Every day, I wake up after not sleeping because I'm so excited. My wife's like, 'Why are you out of bed again at 3 a.m.?' I'm excited to do this every day, and the project's phenomenal.
It's important for me to get to know them as individuals quickly. I want to get to know them as human beings. We spend a lot of time on that, and we build real human connections with our players.
I want to balance stabilizing the team with implementing my ideas, while also being aware that Wave president Jill Ellis and general manager Cami Ashton value the CONCACAF tournament as much as they do the NWSL playoffs.
I'm impressed by the speed at which the players are picking up new ideas, but there's more to it than tactics as I hit the ground running with the 10th-place Wave.
