“As a coach and Program Leader, the experience in Manchester was a trip of a lifetime for our players, their families and for me as a coach.  The opportunity to witness our players experience everyday things in a different country as if for the first time and be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted was priceless.  The appreciation for the role football plays in English culture only grew the love of the game in these US players.  Relationships were strengthened, new connections were made and everyone that experienced this trip counts themselves fortunate to have been a part of it.”
