Monday Moment... Building blind soccer across the U.S. requires a commitment to provide pitches that students with visual impairments have access to. I was proud to be on hand last Friday along with USA Blind Soccer National Team athlete Ricardo Castaneda as the Kansas State School for the Blind provided this amazing resource for its students. We were joined by representatives from KC Blind All Stars Foundation, The Victory Project, United Soccer Coaches, Foreseeable Future Foundation, Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, @Park University Women’s Soccer Team and Sporting Kansas City. What a fantastic day!
