The thing I love most about soccer is the joy it brings as it connects us with one another. My joy is watching my son play the game and build friendships with his teammates while the parents bond on the sideline. I feel it in the camaraderie of the Colorado Rapids supporters section as I sing songs at the top of my lungs and wave my scarf. It’s in the athleticism, grace and creativity that the world’s top players display every weekend, uniting people from all walks of life.
It has been fulfilling for me to watch the sport grow in the United States during my lifetime. And I feel so fortunate to have a role at The18 in which I can help elevate the game for my fellow soccer fans and spread the joy and togetherness the game has brought to my life.
