Chicago Sting MISL

Life takes you for a ride and sometimes any route is fine if you don’t know exactly where you’re going and how to get there. Then, surprise!

Chicago sting


new role

Arriving from Los Angeles on his first year and under the coaching expertise of Willy Roy, Batata broke the record of most assists in the league.  He made into the All-Star team again and adapted well to the new team’s style.  

Scared of changing...

We always want to be in the comfortable zone, and our human instincts often prefer the usual than the unfamiliar however it doesn’t work like that for everything. If you want to succeed you have to take chances, sooner or later. A soccer player’s code!
