Inspiration Friday Nico Calabria

I am still not convinced soccer is a real sport, but rather something you play in gym class or recess (Editor’s Note: You can send Pat an angry email for that comment here). To me it’s quite boring and there is definitely not enough action and hitting for my taste. What I am convinced of is that Nico Calabria out of Carlisle High School in Concordia, MA is a much better player then I ever would be. Nico was born with one leg and shows that it won’t stop him competing for his high school soccer team.

Check out some info about Nico from the YouTube page this video was posted on:
