A wonderfully crafted 8-minute short film on Weston McKennie, whose American teen soccer success in Europe is rivaled only by Christian Pulisic. Part of U.S.Soccer’s “Rising” series, the McKennie episode includes highlights of him dazzling as a 6-year-old, an interview with his first soccer coach (with charming anecdotes), his mom’s account of when a tinyWeston was inspired by meeting Landon Donovan and Carlos Bocanegra, and great footage of the famous Schalke 04 soccer fervor.
