Whether he’s on the sidelines at a match coaching his players or tutoring children on their latest school assignments, Ulric Alsobrook has made a mark on Atlanta.
“I enjoy being around kids. It keeps me young,” said Alsobrook, the Southside Program Manager for Soccer in the Streets. “The kids are so honest. It’s fulfilling. Parents appreciate what we do at Soccer in the Streets and what it does for them.”
Ulric’s passion for soccer grew in an unexpected manner. Once unfamiliar with the game, that changed when his son, who has autism, turned five. He wanted his son to participate in a sport that gave him the best opportunity to thrive.
