In the first-ever Spanish episode of the pod, Brian chats with Angelo Kelly, Rodolfo Castro, and Gio Calixtro of One Knoxville SC about growing up Latino, how they fell in love with the beautiful game, and what it means to represent their communities and serve as role models to the next generation.
We also discuss childhood nicknames, favorite players, Latin food and music, and the disappointment immigrant parents feel that we’re not lawyers and doctors.
Be there for the club’s penultimate regular season home game, as the Boys in Blue take on the Greenville Triumph with a spot in the USL League One plays potentially up for grabs. Tickets to the remaining four home matches can be found here.
Recorded LIVE at Alliance Brewing Co. at 1130 Sevier Ave.
Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15—October 15 in the United States.
