Details about One Goal: A Coach, a Team, and the Game That Brought a Divided Town Together:

In the tradition of Friday Night Lights and Outcasts United, One Goal tells the inspiring story of the soccer team in a town bristling with racial tension that united Somali refugees and multi-generation Mainers in their quest for state -- and ultimately national -- glory. When thousands of Somali refugees resettled in Lewiston, Maine, a struggling, overwhelmingly white town, longtime residents grew uneasy. Then the mayor wrote a letter asking Somalis to stop coming, which became a national story. While scandal threatened to subsume the town, its high school's soccer coach integrated Somali kids onto his team, and their passion began to heal old wounds. Taking readers behind the tumult of this controversial team -- and onto the pitch where the teammates vied to become state champions and achieved a vital sense of understanding -- One Goal is a timely story about overcoming the prejudices that divide us.

Education: Austin TX
Major: Brazilian Soccer Coach (Goalkeeper) in Austin-TX; experience in Mexico, Florida, and DC

I worked in soccer schools (Fluminense CDMX; Penta Brasil CDMX; WIFIs DC) and I will put my knowledge and learning into practice with private classes. I started my soccer career playing defense when I was 8 years old in my school's coed league. Then they created a girl's league and, with my way of always throwing myself at the ball, they rightly put me in the goal. For high school I changed schools just to play in a more competitive league. I won the MIP title my senior year. I simultaneously played on a club team in my area. In college, I played with Florida Atlantic University in state tournaments and at Nova Southeastern University with a graduate school team in friendly tournaments. In my master's degree, I was the goalkeeper in a tournament and won the MVP title. I also played as a goalkeeper in a mixed tournament with Sport12 and have recently moved to Austin-TX! Read more
