FEATURE: 2020 Earthquakes Embody ‘Never Say Die’ Spirit

By all accounts, 2020 hasn’t been easy on anyone.

Many industries, including sports, have been devastated by COVID-19 and the damage done may very well takes years to fully undo. But as the famous quote goes, “Adversity does not build character, it reveals it.”

Nothing has been able to keep the San Jose Earthquakes down. While others around MLS were hosting full-team training sessions, the Quakes were still barred from even having individual player workouts within Santa Clara County. While other teams were capable of waking up in their own beds and preparing for the season at their own training facility, the Quakes had to be the first ones to travel to the Orlando bubble, away from their families, just to get back on the field as a group.
