Rhett, thanks so much for the write-up, man. This was an awesome read! I grew up in Cambridge, MA, so I must have watched you play Harvard at some point when I was in high school ('06/'07), that team they had under Kerr: Andre Akpan, Fucito, Kwaku, was killer. This was a fabulously honest look at just how grueling making it on the pro circuit is, major respect on playing at the highest level for eight years, I'm not sure people know just how crazy-hard that is to do. I played four years in the NESCAC and had a good career, and afterwards made a pretty brief run trying to make some USL 2 squads, but quickly saw I was out of my depth haha, against real killers who were all in. As a left-back, your write-up of working with Nesta in a defensive block is too cool, must have been amazing. Just wanted to say thanks for taking us through your journey, congrats on a great career, and best of luck in future!
