I found tge game by accident after I ran away from home to gey away from an abusive father. I would spend a lot of time in Jefferson park my local park. There was an adult Italian club team that would train there. Something about the game I liked. So I would watch them train. After a while the coach asked me if I wanted to train with them. I was 11 at the time. After practice he gave me a ball and told me to practure. He became a father figure to me. I trained with them for 5 years with them before I ever played in a league game at 16. But I played in friendly games with them before that.

When I moved to Brooklyn with my brother and mother after my father and his brother were murdered. I played for a club called sporting club Gjoa club is over 100 years old now. I would always help the younger kids train I wanted to give back something to the game.

Then the 8 yr old teams coach got the Big C. So they asked me if I wanted to do them I jumped at the chance,

The rest is history.
