Why I Made This Website
My son, Jared M Sullivan, is eighteen. He joined CF Rusadir Division de Honor team in Melilla, Spain in 2021. Jared moved to Spain last year before COVID and played with FC Malaga City Academy. Before that, he trained in Assisi, Italy with Bruno Redolfi at the Accademia Insegnaro Calcio. And before that, he was a USDA player.
Jared's goal since a young age has been to play at a professional level and our search for ways to help him kicked off the research for this site.
As I met more parents of elite soccer players, I recognized that there is a shortage of information readily available on how to play professional soccer. I decided to start sharing the information I was gathering.
This was stressful for me. I am not a technical person and the thought of creating a website was very overwhelming for me. Fortunately, I found a website building tool that has made the process of putting this together not only easy but fun as well. If any of you are interested in creating a website, I invite you to explore Solo Build It. (I am on their affiliate program).
Please send me a message if you have specific questions. I may not know the answers, but I will be happy to help you look.
