I really wasn't doing good because I didn't even know how to play soccer or even kick the ball in the direction my dad was asking to kick it to.

I started to practice and practice every single day because I really wanted to become a very skilled soccer player, so it was going to take lots of time to learn a move or how to

    “Hi Malcolm, I’m Coach Spear, and I’d like you to consider playing soccer at Davidson.” I had played the “beautiful” game of soccer for as long as I could remember, starting in an organized league at the age of three to be exact.

    Soccer isn't just sport. It’s a lifestyle. Without soccer, I don't know where I would be today.

The slick dirt pulling my back end around I move my hands, my automatic controls, the only thing keeping me from spinning out.
