I grew up in a rural area about 40 minutes northeast of Atlanta. Well… it was rural in the 80s! The only schools that had soccer were the more affluent and larger areas. Me… small town and small school, all the money went into the football team.
This was great for my brother who played and my dad who coached. My mom is the biggest Braves fan I know, we are an Atlanta sports family! Although it was strained a bit when my brother decided to go to Georgia Tech, my dad is an avid Bulldog fan. We were a house divided.
