Being a firm believer in his faith and having a deep love for soccer is an important aspect in Union goalkeeper Jake McGuire's life. During the offseason, he was able to bring both of those passions together to benefit the needs of others.
Aside from visiting family across the country and training for next season, McGuire spent a full week with Athletes in Action on a mission trip in Ethiopia. Athletes in Action uses sports as a platform to connect athletes with their faith — and for McGuire, the trip did just that.
"I didn't know there were so many ways you can help people through soccer," McGuire said.
