A Game-Changer for Youth Football

Sitting down with Adrian Mcpherson and Gina Spicer to talk about this new program, we begin with the basics. We end up talking for over an hour. I quickly find out that it’s less about football, and more about futures.

It became so much easier to see the good.

I then googled “Where is Lithuania?” I believe there’s something to be said about sharing meals with strangers and leaving them feeling like family. I was inspired that in a world that often feels so divided, we can all come together.
