As a reporter covering a professional soccer team – I talk a lot about perseverance and overcoming obstacles – but this past weekend I was taught a big lesson about resilience -- and love by some very special soccer players.
Every year, Major League Soccer’s charitable arm MLS WORKS, sponsors unified matches between Special Olympic teams across the country to give their athletes and partners an opportunity of a lifetime. This year I was fortunate enough to join the Special Olympics Pennsylvania (SOPA) representative team from George Washington High School on their trip across country to play against the Special Olympics team from Colorado.
