Kenny

I first became aware of Kenny during a game he had just played in. His athleticism and ability to read the field were evident right away. Interestingly, I had to rearrange some games and spoke with his coach about it. We were shifting things around due to an upcoming tournament, and as luck would have it, Kenny was able to join us.

Kenny plays on our Colorado Foothills SC U11 team, and he had a remarkable late summer tournament. Alongside his fellow defenders, they managed to limit the opposition to just one goal throughout the tournament. Kenny even clinched the championship for the team with his decisive penalty kick. He’s one of the best defenders I’ve ever witnessed; it’s nearly impossible to get past him. Even more impressive is his understanding of the game and his ability to lead the team in building plays from the backline, which is quite extraordinary for someone his age.
