Speaker 1: Welcome to SDH Saturday, where we kind of take the
Speaker 1: tour and give a look at some of the stories
Speaker 1: in and around the SDH footprint and let you know
Speaker 1: what's going on, stuff that you know you may not
Speaker 1: know about that is worth following up on and following
Speaker 1: the stories as they continue to grow here in the
Speaker 1: SDH network footprint. And one of the folks that we
Speaker 1: follow on a regular basis rising Senior Charlie Longino. He
Speaker 1: plays at Clayton State and he sent us a note
Speaker 1: and it is something that he has become very very
Speaker 1: active in and it has to do with Atlanta Amputee Soccer.
Speaker 1: They had Atlanta Amputee Soccer Community Day, their first one,
Speaker 1: and it was in the middle of their spring and
Speaker 1: summer practice schedule, this time at Kensington Station. They've alternated
Speaker 1: between West End and Kensington as a part of their
Speaker 1: association with Soccer in the Streets and with the American
Speaker 1: Amputee Soccer Association. So Atlanta Amputee Soccer had their first
Speaker 1: ever community Day and it was an opportunity to be
Speaker 1: at the open field at Kensington marta station, get some
Speaker 1: practice in, get acquainted with the game itself. If you
Speaker 1: are an amputee and just kind of meet and chat
Speaker 1: and hang out with others that are right there with
Speaker 1: you that to enjoy the game of soccer, and it
Speaker 1: gives you the chance to grow your own knowledge base
Speaker 1: and grow your own participation levels. It's for individuals living
Speaker 1: with limb difference, and it didn't matter what your skill
Speaker 1: level was, and it was interesting for me to see
Speaker 1: those that had amazing skill level and those that were
Speaker 1: wanting to learn from others and to continue to grow
Speaker 1: their game. You had youth, you had adults, you had
Speaker 1: veterans who are encouraged to be there as well, and
Speaker 1: so you had folks that were circling back to be
Speaker 1: a part of the experience there with Atlanta Amputee Soccer
Speaker 1: was a local training session. We'll catch up with Charlie
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, a little later on. Here
Speaker 1: you get to meet the Atlanta team that's associated with
Speaker 1: Atlanta Amputee Soccer. You'll catch up with them coming up
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. As well. You get to
Speaker 1: find out about competitive pathways and clinics and demos available
Speaker 1: for rehab centers and groups. And we're going to catch
Speaker 1: you up with a couple of folks that are tied
Speaker 1: to the program. First person that we catch up with
Speaker 1: is Katie George and she is the number two with
Speaker 1: Atlanta Amputee Soccer and we got her thoughts about the
Speaker 1: day and Community Day and what it's like to be
Speaker 1: a part of something that is growing as much as
Speaker 1: Atlanta Amputee Soccer is as a part of the AASA.
Speaker 1: So what's it like to see kind of activity out
Speaker 1: here today?
Speaker 2: I mean, this is incredible. This today is our first
Speaker 2: ever community day. It was almost a year ago, a
Speaker 2: few weeks out from our first ever clinic where we
Speaker 2: had a few people and then the community has just
Speaker 2: grown so incredibly over the last year. So did not
Speaker 2: only have our athletes as well as our volunteers, but
Speaker 2: also members of the community come out. It's just really
Speaker 2: really special.
Speaker 1: How far back are we talking about here to have
Speaker 1: the idea start from the genesis of the idea to
Speaker 1: now getting to this one year anniversary.
Speaker 3: How far back of an idea? What was this?
Speaker 1: Yes, So.
Speaker 2: Basically the inception of this was December of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: I met a member of the men's national team at
Speaker 2: a US Soccer Adapt and Thrive program and he kind
Speaker 2: of pitched the idea he's in a different region and
Speaker 2: he was like amputee soccer in Atlanta, and I was
Speaker 2: like maybe, and then we connected in January. It was
Speaker 2: January twenty second specifically, is when he kind of pitched
Speaker 2: it to me and I said yes. And then in
Speaker 2: that same month he met Daniel at a PT conference
Speaker 2: in Boston and connecting me with Daniel, and then June
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four was our first clinic. So it's
Speaker 2: all kind of happened relatively quickly. And I mean for me,
Speaker 2: it's just like the Lord is sowing control and like
Speaker 2: his hand is just on this in such a special way.
Speaker 1: So what's it been like to see this year evolve
Speaker 1: the way that it has. I mean, it's it seems
Speaker 1: like it's been a whirlwind even though it's been a year.
Speaker 3: Does that make any sense?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I think especially when we first got started,
Speaker 2: it was a lot of just figuring out what we
Speaker 2: were doing. At the beginning, some of the national team
Speaker 2: players came out and just kind of led the clinics,
Speaker 2: and then as it has developed, they're not able to
Speaker 2: be here as much, but like we've grown more so,
Speaker 2: just continuing to grow and expand the community has just
Speaker 2: helped us like continue to push forward in that way.
Speaker 3: So what are the next steps?
Speaker 1: What do you think the next steps should be so
Speaker 1: it continues to grow in the direction that you and
Speaker 1: everybody wanted to grow.
Speaker 2: So the biggest kind of challenge right now is really
Speaker 2: finding more amputees who want to play the game. We
Speaker 2: have a really incredible group of volunteers who show up consistently,
Speaker 2: and we have a pool of around seven players, probably
Speaker 2: three to four who show up really consistently. So just
Speaker 2: continuing ooh, so, just continuing to make those connections in
Speaker 2: communicating it just really especially through word of MAP. I
Speaker 2: feel like the personal connection to bring more amputeeses and
Speaker 2: in is really important. But yeah, just in the sense
Speaker 2: of grow, continuing to grow. So the organization and the
Speaker 2: community is just consistency and continuing to make it and
Speaker 2: accepting in fun space where people just keep wanting to come.
Speaker 1: Back to You look and you see different age groups
Speaker 1: and there's a bunch of different representation that's here today.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that that's another aspect of this
Speaker 1: that's really cool.
Speaker 3: And you got folks that are getting after it. They're
Speaker 3: just like all we're we're out here to play.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, absolutely, It's such an incredible thing. It's i mean,
Speaker 2: the sport of soccer is, you know, the world's biggest game,
Speaker 2: and to have amputee soccer as an opportunity for people
Speaker 2: to play as an adaptive sport, whether they're in their forties,
Speaker 2: in their thirties, or whether they're six years old like
Speaker 2: Elliott is, it's a sport that was made for him.
Speaker 2: I mean, the first time we saw him come out,
Speaker 2: his assistive tech that he uses every day is are
Speaker 2: his crutches, And the first time he came out on
Speaker 2: the field, it was I mean, he was like, I
Speaker 2: want to play on the national one day, like after
Speaker 2: his first experience, and that's just it's incredible. It's changing
Speaker 2: lives and that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: And thanks to Katie for helping out for the early
Speaker 1: part of the education here on SDCH Weekend. And just
Speaker 1: so you know, she does have a history in college soccer.
Speaker 1: She played in high school and has also played in
Speaker 1: the Mid American Conference with her time at the University
Speaker 1: of Akrons, so she has a history in the college game.
Speaker 1: She has a history growing up in the sport and
Speaker 1: now she gets to continue to grow things as the
Speaker 1: co founder with what we're talking about today with Atlanta
Speaker 1: Amputee Soccer as a part of the AASA, and now,
Speaker 1: as promised, time to catch up with rising Clayton State
Speaker 1: senior Charlie Longino and find out how he got involved
Speaker 1: with this and what it's like for him to see
Speaker 1: it grow to where it is.
Speaker 3: So, how did you get involved in this?
Speaker 4: I actually met these well.
Speaker 5: I met the founder of the ASA as AASA, which
Speaker 5: is the American amput Soccer So she at like a
Speaker 5: job fair, career fair in Atlanta for US soccer. I
Speaker 5: met him there and then he connected me to these guys.
Speaker 5: I'm also interning with them as well, the AA essay,
Speaker 5: I'm I don't know, I'm doing similar things for them
Speaker 5: like fundraising, marketing, and helping out on the field. But
Speaker 5: I met the main guy over there, the president over there,
Speaker 5: and he connected me.
Speaker 3: With these guys. So what's the experience been like for you?
Speaker 5: It's pretty it's pretty pretty crazy. I think I've struggled
Speaker 5: in the past, like figuring out what I wanted to
Speaker 5: do exactly. I know I've always wanted to work like
Speaker 5: in the business side, of things, but like recently, I
Speaker 5: think I figured out that this is like something that
Speaker 5: I think I would want to do in the future
Speaker 5: and something that I could see myself doing, like working
Speaker 5: on the business side of sports and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the question again. Sorry I got side track.
Speaker 1: No, it's just when you've gotten involved in this, what's
Speaker 1: what's it been like for you to be involved.
Speaker 5: In I mean, it's it's been crazy because I mean
Speaker 5: I played soccer my whole life and seeing this side
Speaker 5: of the sport is completely like life channing.
Speaker 4: It's cool.
Speaker 5: It's seeing how these people even just come out and
Speaker 5: just do this and then the community around it is incredible.
Speaker 3: Honestly life changing.
Speaker 5: Huh uh, I would say so, yeah, I mean career
Speaker 5: choices will be made soon, so I mean it could
Speaker 5: be life changing.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: What's it like for you to be out here as
Speaker 1: volunteer coach and seeing how everyone responds to teaching.
Speaker 3: Into the game and everything like that.
Speaker 1: What's it like to see folks of various sizes and
Speaker 1: age groups coming out here and you get to be
Speaker 1: a part of this whole experience.
Speaker 5: I mean it's pretty cool. I mean I've always known
Speaker 5: soccer can just bring people together. It's a great sport,
Speaker 5: brings communities, brings cultures all together. And seeing that out
Speaker 5: here there's people of all literally shapes, sizes, colors, everything
Speaker 5: all just come into play, hang out and have a
Speaker 5: good time.
Speaker 1: For someone who doesn't know about this, what would you
Speaker 1: tell them? What would be you standing on a bill board,
Speaker 1: you know, on the interstate or something, waving your hands frankly,
Speaker 1: or on top of a building, so you're saying, you know, here,
Speaker 1: this is what's going on. What would you tell somebody
Speaker 1: that doesn't know about this?
Speaker 5: I mean it's simple, really, It's just challenged athletes that
Speaker 5: are coming together to create a community and strive together.
Speaker 4: Basically simple as that.
Speaker 1: And so now we go from one of the coaches
Speaker 1: that was there for community day to one of the
Speaker 1: athletes that has been impacted. And when you see someone
Speaker 1: like David Lackwood, you see what it means to be
Speaker 1: a part of something like this, and you see how
Speaker 1: talented an individual he is in the sport. And it
Speaker 1: was a wide ranging conversation that we got to have
Speaker 1: with David about how he became engaged in the sport,
Speaker 1: how he's grown in the sport, what he's learned from
Speaker 1: the sport. So here's our conversation with one of the
Speaker 1: athletes to keep an eye on when it comes to
Speaker 1: amputee soccer out of the Atlanta area and on the
Speaker 1: US scale. David Lackwood, what's it like to have a
Speaker 1: day like this where you can just enjoy the sport
Speaker 1: as normal as possible.
Speaker 6: It's I feel like happiness, you know, because I used
Speaker 6: to play soccer before my amputation, and I really thought
Speaker 6: after my amputation that I wasn't going to be able
Speaker 6: to play soccer again. So when I was introduced to this,
Speaker 6: you know, amputy soccer thing, and it was it changed
Speaker 6: my life because part of like getting my frustration and
Speaker 6: all that stuff is like playing soccer, and I used
Speaker 6: to play soccer a lot. So being able to have
Speaker 6: this and be able to play with you know, some
Speaker 6: of some of these guys that are, you know, first
Speaker 6: time playing it and then they're going hard, they're showing
Speaker 6: that they appreciate the game, and it's it's awesome. You know,
Speaker 6: it makes me happy.
Speaker 4: It makes me.
Speaker 6: It was just happiness that would be happiness.
Speaker 3: How did you find out about it?
Speaker 6: I found out about amputation soccer back in twenty twenty
Speaker 6: one when they sent your email, Nick, it was jo
Speaker 6: Vann send your emails saying that if I wanted to
Speaker 6: know about the game, and I had to fly to
Speaker 6: New York. So I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, let's do it.
Speaker 6: Let's try, you know, I mean, let's do it.
Speaker 4: So I went.
Speaker 6: I didn't have crushes. I didn't play with crushes. I
Speaker 6: played with my prosthetic because I didn't have crushes. So
Speaker 6: I saw the game and I saw how active they
Speaker 6: were and how good they were, and that kind of
Speaker 6: motivated me to like, okay, let me get my crushes.
Speaker 6: So immediately after the game, I went on the website
Speaker 6: and I bought my crutches, and that was I was
Speaker 6: introduced to amputee soccer. Like I said back in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty one, I went to New York. It was like
Speaker 6: an exhibition thing, and that's that's how I found out.
Speaker 6: But ever since, I've been you know, practicing and playing
Speaker 6: and with the reserve on the national team, US national team,
Speaker 6: so making my way there out there, so little by little.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like a role model in anyway or
Speaker 1: even example for others?
Speaker 4: Maybe I do.
Speaker 6: One of my my My thing is motivated, like to
Speaker 6: motivate others. And I see that a lot that you know,
Speaker 6: I motivated a lot every time, even though when I'm
Speaker 6: practicing by myself and then kids from high school come
Speaker 6: and practice that I was looking at me and they
Speaker 6: come up to me and say, hey, you you you
Speaker 6: motivate me to go harder. So not just people that
Speaker 6: have an amputation, but people that you know, have you know,
Speaker 6: both that are there there their legs or arms or everything.
Speaker 6: You know, they come up to me and say, you know,
Speaker 6: you have motivation. So that kind of made me.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 6: I don't want to say a hero or or but
Speaker 6: like I do, I do motivate a lot of people,
Speaker 6: and that makes me makes me happy that the others
Speaker 6: can can see that and then go hard and then
Speaker 6: just not stop there and just keep going.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: So for someone who may not necessarily know that this exists,
Speaker 1: what would you tell them? What advice would you give
Speaker 1: for someone who's looking for that outlet that you were
Speaker 1: able to find, what would you tell them about activities
Speaker 1: like this that can help them out.
Speaker 6: To come and try it? Come and try it. It
Speaker 6: might seem hard in my seeing embarrassed because at first, honestly,
Speaker 6: that was not not not everybody, but like for me,
Speaker 6: I was a little embarrassed. But then I said, like
Speaker 6: I said, I saw people come up to me saying, hey,
Speaker 6: you motivate me. So that kind of also motivated me
Speaker 6: to your keep board. Just come try it, come try it.
Speaker 6: You know we can we can tissue some some some
Speaker 6: you know, some basic skills like you know, touching the ball,
Speaker 6: doing the working with the crushes, trusting you crushes, you know,
Speaker 6: and and just come out there and try it, try
Speaker 6: it and you're gonna like it. Just try it. Uh,
Speaker 6: come out here, try I'm gonna be here. Like like
Speaker 6: I tell a lot of people too. I was give
Speaker 6: them my numbers, say come try. When they come try,
Speaker 6: I give them my numbers. Say any any any questions
Speaker 6: you have, you can shoot me a text. You want
Speaker 6: to go and shoot the ball, I'm always available. You
Speaker 6: need you got any questions, shoot me a shot text.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Hey, just come try it. Come try You're
Speaker 6: gonna love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And personally, I will once again reiterate that David
Speaker 1: has a heck of a shot. And it was fun
Speaker 1: to see him interact. It was fun to see him
Speaker 1: encourage others. It was really cool to see him just
Speaker 1: completely and totally involved in the experience to inform and
Speaker 1: educate and participate with others involved with Atlanta amputee soccer
Speaker 1: on Community Day. This is SDH weekend where we take
Speaker 1: a look at Community Day attached to the amputee soccer
Speaker 1: community in the city of Atlanta. Here in the SDH footprint,
Speaker 1: Atlanta emput Soccer Community Day over at Kensington Station at
Speaker 1: Marta at the soccer is Soccer in the Streets pitch
Speaker 1: and it was a fun afternoon for those that were
Speaker 1: there and an informative afternoon for me frankly, but it
Speaker 1: was really fun to be out there. Last person we're
Speaker 1: going to catch up with is Daniel Copeland, and Daniel
Speaker 1: is the main contact involving US amputee soccer in the area.
Speaker 1: He and Katie are the one in the two when
Speaker 1: it comes to the Atlanta amputee soccer movement and everything
Speaker 1: that goes in the conversations with the AASA, the American
Speaker 1: Mputee Soccer Association, and catching up with Daniel, who is
Speaker 1: a physical therapist by occupation, gets to be a part
Speaker 1: of the Atlanta amputee soccer community in the amputee soccer
Speaker 1: community through moments like today and events like today and
Speaker 1: US amp Soccer and Atlanta Amputee Soccer. So here's our
Speaker 1: information and here's our informative conversation with Daniel Copeland about
Speaker 1: everything that's gone on that has led to this day
Speaker 1: when it came to amputee soccer in the Atlanta area.
Speaker 1: So what's it like to have a day like this
Speaker 1: and see the response that you've gotten out here today.
Speaker 4: It's really good. I'm really happy with it.
Speaker 7: I'm really happy with getting some seeing some returning faces,
Speaker 7: but then getting some new faces out here, whether it's
Speaker 7: athletes as well as just the community. You know, getting
Speaker 7: a bunch of people out here who are new and
Speaker 7: they're just wanting to learn and just be supportive.
Speaker 4: And it's really right. It's really exciting.
Speaker 1: When you look back to day one of starting today,
Speaker 1: does it seem like it's been a long time? Does
Speaker 1: it seem like it's been a whirlwind. Does it seem
Speaker 1: like it's been both to get to this day from
Speaker 1: day one?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been a little bit of both, because whenever
Speaker 7: we actually look at the calendar, it's been it's not even.
Speaker 4: Really a year since our first official event.
Speaker 7: But and when you look at the number of things
Speaker 7: that we've done in that time, it hasn't been like
Speaker 7: a ton on paper, but it's been a lot of
Speaker 7: stuff to get to this point when you look at
Speaker 7: the fine details of it, and so in the moment,
Speaker 7: it's kind of quick, but looking back, it feels kind
Speaker 7: of long. It's it's just it's back and forth. It's
Speaker 7: back and forth. But it's been good the whole time.
Speaker 1: So when so there's someone that doesn't know about it
Speaker 1: and you walk up to them, you know, there's a
Speaker 1: group of people, you know, fifteen twenty folks are just
Speaker 1: kind of hanging out and then you say what you
Speaker 1: do and they don't know about it?
Speaker 3: What are those initial conversations.
Speaker 7: Like, Honestly, it's just a lot of I'm not the
Speaker 7: best at doing and talking to people, and I usually
Speaker 7: rely on.
Speaker 4: Katie for that a lot.
Speaker 7: But it's it's usually just hey, do you want to
Speaker 7: learn something about something pretty cool, something pretty new. A
Speaker 7: lot of that's been conversations with coworkers to come out
Speaker 7: here and just be like, hey, check this out. It's
Speaker 7: a cool thing. It's a growing thing. It's something that
Speaker 7: we're really excited about, we're really passionate about. And then
Speaker 7: as those other others turn to start getting more excited,
Speaker 7: then you start to hear a lot of the tone
Speaker 7: change is just like just energy level spike. We're getting
Speaker 7: super excited, We're getting super giddy. Oh my god, Yeah,
Speaker 7: there's this, there's this, that's this. Start telling them about like, hey,
Speaker 7: are us women's team just play second in the world
Speaker 7: right now? So it's growing and we're just trying to
Speaker 7: get it bigger and bigger. There's a chance of it
Speaker 7: being in the Special Olympics eventually, and it just turns
Speaker 7: into hey are you curious about this?
Speaker 4: To now I'm word vomiting all the.
Speaker 7: Things that it can become, even and then speaking on
Speaker 7: backtrating and saying this is where we're at though, but
Speaker 7: this is where we're going, and then just being super
Speaker 7: excited about that and hopefully getting other people excited about
Speaker 7: that as well.
Speaker 1: So when you go from where you are to where
Speaker 1: you're going, what's missing from the outside in what do
Speaker 1: you need to get to those next steps?
Speaker 7: A lot of what we are looking for and being
Speaker 7: more involved in the overarching American Association, I know some
Speaker 7: of the stuff that we need to grow to where
Speaker 7: we're going as a nationwide association. But some of our
Speaker 7: stuff with just the Atlanta Group is getting a lot
Speaker 7: of athletes out here, Katie and I and then now
Speaker 7: Charlie as well. We've been working then David and the
Speaker 7: other athletes. We've been working a lot on the word
Speaker 7: of mouth stuff, and we're trying to grow more into
Speaker 7: the realm of like we're actually reaching out as the
Speaker 7: ambassadors of the group and growing one the community of
Speaker 7: non amputees but as well as amputees, and then just
Speaker 7: getting as many athletes out here as possible so that
Speaker 7: we can then say, okay, we got the full squad
Speaker 7: of Atlanta Amputee soccer that can then be more competitive
Speaker 7: within the actual American Association, and then from there that
Speaker 7: just grows the overarching association, which in turn allows us
Speaker 7: to go to all those other governing associations like the
Speaker 7: Paralympic groups and all that kind of stuff to then
Speaker 7: in turns just say hey, we got something big in
Speaker 7: the US and we're just helping to build it as
Speaker 7: an international sport. So there's just our biggest thing though,
Speaker 7: is just getting people involved, getting the word out, having
Speaker 7: people come here, whether they're amputees or not, and just
Speaker 7: having them showing them how fun the sport.
Speaker 4: Can be, and then getting them to spread the word
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 1: So how do folks get involved? What are the easiest
Speaker 1: ways to do it?
Speaker 3: These days?
Speaker 7: We can get They can get involved by getting in
Speaker 7: contact on social media. We have an Instagram page. I
Speaker 7: don't know our Instagram handle because I don't handle it,
Speaker 7: but you can also just email me. It's d Copeland
Speaker 7: at usampsoccer dot org.
Speaker 4: That's a way to do it, or just look us up.
Speaker 7: I think it's ato Amputee Soccer is our Instagram, but
Speaker 7: I just don't know the handle because Katie manages that.
Speaker 7: But honestly, just that easy way contacting us is.
Speaker 1: When you're out here and you see the light come
Speaker 1: on for someone who might have been shy about coming
Speaker 1: out here, and then you see them diving into the
Speaker 1: experience and enjoying the experience, and you get to touch
Speaker 1: that extra person who then in turn may g it
Speaker 1: to touch others that are attached to it.
Speaker 3: What's it like see the light come on?
Speaker 7: You know? It honestly just gives me chills, And you're
Speaker 7: saying that gives me chills because I feel like that's
Speaker 7: happened honestly today with a gentleman right over there, Antonio,
Speaker 7: where he's been to one before. He was very hesitant,
Speaker 7: but he got all into it today and that was
Speaker 7: really exciting to watch, and even with David, Like, honestly,
Speaker 7: one of those things is just watching David grow in
Speaker 7: this and have him be passionate about it and have
Speaker 7: him be one of those guys who's we're really pushing
Speaker 7: heavy to get him on the actual US national team
Speaker 7: and getting to see him grow and see him get
Speaker 7: better and see his excitement of seeing the amputee community
Speaker 7: rally around him and seeing the Atlanta.
Speaker 4: Community rally around him. Just it really does just mean
Speaker 4: a lot to me.
Speaker 7: In it, and it's just it's one of those moments
Speaker 7: where you just kind of like you get the chill bumps.
Speaker 7: You sit back and you try and like look around
Speaker 7: and you just feel good about the moment, but then
Speaker 7: recognize that you know we're gonna feel good in this moment,
Speaker 7: but we still got a ways to go.
Speaker 4: But it's like, all right, we're still we're heading the
Speaker 4: right direction.
Speaker 7: That's a nice milestone to have happened, especially with an
Speaker 7: a like today. It's one of those where it's like,
Speaker 7: this is a nice milestone for the group, with me
Speaker 7: and Katie and David being like the big three who
Speaker 7: started it. Here is a really nice and you just
Speaker 7: you just get chill bumps about it and just you
Speaker 7: want it to continue.
Speaker 3: David's got a mean shot man.
Speaker 7: Speaking from the experience of somebody who's tried to block it,
Speaker 7: yeah he does, he really does.
Speaker 4: And it kind of hurts when.
Speaker 7: It hits you, speaking from experience of like thirty minutes
Speaker 7: ago having it hit me, and honestly, yeah, he's got
Speaker 7: a mean shot to him.
Speaker 4: And honestly, Antonio right here, he got in here and
Speaker 4: got involved. He does too.
Speaker 7: He does too. So it's a really cool It's nice.
Speaker 7: I'm just over here, like I'll deal with the bruises later.
Speaker 7: Nobody needs to know about that, but we're doing so.
Speaker 1: That is your look at Atlanta Amputee Soccer Community Day
