Throughout the summer, SportingKCAcademy.com is publishing a series of Q&A interviews with each member of the Academy's technical staff. In the seventh installment, we catch up with Sporting KC U-15 head coach Chris O'Neal.
Where are you from?
I moved around a good bit with stops in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Memphis and Birmingham through various stages of my life. I would say that Atlanta is my hometown, and that’s where most of my family is located.
How did you fall in love with soccer?
My mom always tells me the story that my dad gave me a ball when I was a little, and I always had it on my feet kicking it, kicking it, kicking it.
