Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC has significantly improved its performance in the USL Championship, comfortably meeting expectations with four consecutive wins across all competitions. This resurgence is largely attributed to a crucial mentality shift instilled by coach Alan McCann. The team, which previously struggled with dropping points from winning positions, now exhibits a strong "never give up" attitude.

This was evident in their recent six-point week, featuring home victories against Miami FC and the Charleston Battery, where Jonas Fjeldberg secured a stoppage-time winner against Charleston. These results have propelled the Switchbacks to third place in the Western Conference. Their new outlook faces a significant test in an upcoming away game against New Mexico United, a fixture where Colorado Springs has historically struggled.
