Why do you work in youth soccer?
I watched the '99ers win as a kid and I was instantly hooked. Soccer has given me so much as a player: life-long friends, mentors, opportunity, and communication/leadership skills. I'm very lucky to have the opportunity now (both as a referee and as an MSYSA employee) to help provide the next generation with those same gifts. Simply put, soccer is the love of my life - just don't tell Nugget.
