We are in the process of getting soccer back in the schools by working with the school board, athletic director and the superintendent. At this time, things look promising.

I think the key is the relationship between the superintendent and the school board.

School can wait. But becoming a professional soccer player is something I've always dreamed about.

If they have a picture of themselves in their soccer uniform and a picture of their high school in the background, that's too much. That's how a predator can find them.

(Rhode Island has) a really good soccer program, and it's a really good school. It's a totally different area from where I am from, and it's right by the beach, so that's pretty cool. And as far as the size, Rhode Island seemed to be the perfect size for me.

Our goalie Ryan Bock had the most incredible save I have ever seen in high school soccer. He stopped a shot that should have gone in and then got back up to stop another shot. Even the ref, who is supposed to be impartial, was clapping. It was a real morale booster.
