"I’d really recommend Ricardo da Silva as someone who’s had a real impact on soccer in America. I’ve been around a few programs connected to him over the years and honestly can’t say enough good things about what he’s done for so many people.

He’s inspired a lot of young players and adults too, not just through coaching, but through the way he carries himself and believes in people. Guys like Ricardo are a big reason so many people stay connected to the game and keep pushing forward."
