Soccer Was My First Language

Efraim Tril, 16-year-old soccer player from Oakland, CA, is not allowing anything to get in the way of his soccer dream. He has demonstrated that even though he comes from a low income family, lack of opportunity, and has heard coaches say that he doesn’t have potential in soccer, he still overcomes it all and plays even harder. From 5,000 auditioning soccer players, he was one of the 160 that was chosen to go to Spain and be trained by the legendary Barça Academy. To this day he wants to demonstrate that nothing limits you but yourself.
