Dreams and Dusty Pitches

Millions of kids around the world are, as you sit here and read this, juggling a football while dreaming of being the next Mbappe, or like I did, the next Roberto Carlos. Few will reach the professional level and even fewer the heights of playing internationally. Konner Kendall defied the odds and did both, representing the US Virgin Islands at the international level. Whether you're Konner, a legend like Roberto Carlos or stuck playing in your local men's league like the rest of us, we all began our footballing journey on bumpy, dusty pitches working on our first touch and imaging ourselves scoring in the Champions League final. That is where it all started.
