28-year-old former Dutch pro soccer player Kenzo Biyong moved Mitchel, a young man with autism, from a mental health facility into his home with his wife & two young kids, changing Mitchel’s life. Grab tissues. Imagine if American jocks were raised to spend their 20s doing this!

My daughter Elliana has been asked to attend Barcelona in September for a once in a lifetime tournament. Plane tickets are due in 24 hrs to fly with the team. We need 2300$ in 24 hrs. Unfortunately, we don’t have this available right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I feel this next journey will allow immense growth within myself to create the best environments for my players while
Falling in love with the game. Building confident players with tenacity, grit and leadership to help change our world.
