The World Cup π is here π₯Ή
Soccer (Futbol) β½οΈ changed my life. I was a young asthmatic kid in 1977, couldn't run, couldn't play sports and felt lost. My dad, who knew nothing about soccer, became a coach of a Rec team and made me the goalkeeper.
This started a forever love with the game and bonded me and my dad forever. Asthma medicine improved and my game and coordination grew into a D1 college scholarship. And in 1994 I was able to attend my very first World Cup in person, the last time USA πΊπΈ hosted.
My love for the game inspired Hunter Macdonald to fall in the love with Soccer and crested the most epic memories the last 21 years. And now Hunter is going to his first World Cup game in person π
And the best part is Hunter is on his Pro Soccer Journey and his ability and athleticism has surpassed mine πͺβοΈ - exactly how it should be , but I still have him on strength π€£
This is why I love sports - it provides Hope at times we need it, it provides bonds that last a lifetime and it creates resiliency and strength when life pushes back.
Let's all enjoy the World Cup and make as many bonds as you can throughout this month and share below what Country you're rooting for - of course this is the year the USA πΊπΈ wins it all!π₯
