From Pick-Up Soccer in Jamaica to Being Drafted by Orlando City SC | Akeil Barrett’s Path to Pro

In this episode I sit down with Akeil Barrett to hear about his journey from growing up playing soccer in local parks in his hometown of Kingston, Jamaica to being recruited by Akron, the number #1 ranked U.S. College at the time, and being drafted by Orlando City SC. Since then, he has played for a number of different professional teams around the US and even one over in Sweden. 

We go in-depth about the struggles he's faced with injuries and rejections as well as the absolute highs he's felt while being drafted by an MLS team. Really enjoyed this talk and I hope you guys take something away from Akeil's story!
