After missing yesterday’s practice due to a scheduling conflict (YachtCon), I was excited to see what I expected was the first full squad practice for the Sounders. That didn’t happen, as there were only about 20 players warming up when I arrived. A few players that will be on the first team roster this year weren’t present or full participants.
Seyi Adekoya, Henry Wingo, and Brian Nana-Sinkham were at the Rookie Symposium. This is where the league helps to acclimate young and new players to life as a professional player in MLS (living on their own, dealing with paychecks, etc).
