I was born in Salem, MA, but I was raised in Tallahassee, FL. I was five years old when my mother and I moved to northern Florida, and as we settled in one thing quickly became apparent: Tallahassee was a breeding ground for some of the state’s and nation’s greatest footballing talent. That’s why I find it fitting that the capital city of the sunshine state is finally getting a team of its own: Tallahassee Soccer Club.
I was fortunate to grow up and play soccer in Tallahassee. The talent pool in the city is immense, and includes budding stars from Florida State University’s club team, Tallahassee Community College, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Tottenham-sponsored Tallahassee youth teams, and scores of legitimate high school programs.
