Hey there Perfect Soccer Family! 

We can’t lie, it’s been a really rough few weeks here in the United States, both in soccer and society. We hope wherever you are in the world that you’re staying safe, staying strong, and staying committed to your core values.
 
We are excited to bring you the latest episode of the #AskASoccerPro Show, episode 72!  This past week Quincy interviewed fellow professional player, Amobi Okugo, and heard his perspectives on life and soccer. 
 
Quincy also took the time to write down his thoughts on what he would say to Don Garber if he were still part of the MLS. 
This is a must read for anyone interested in a player’s perspective!
 
As always, please let us know what you think!
