“Over the years, soccer has helped me be active, stay healthy, build my confidence, build friendship and brotherhood, stay disciplined, be responsible and taken me to many different states to play against teams all over the country. These are things that I wouldn’t be able to do if it wasn’t for soccer. I’ve been able to build a lot of the skills like responsibility, disciplinary, confidence and being a good teammate by being part of a team. I think it’s important for every kid to take part in a sport so they can be active and feel a sense of accomplishment or belonging.“
