For an afternoon, Landon Donovan was able to be a kid.
In his mind, at least.
Donovan, along with former United States Men’s National team players Brian Ching and Stuart Holden, were at Finley Stadium Saturday afternoon for the Chattanooga Football Club foundation celebrity soccer weekend.
The three founded HELM Elite Soccer – which stands for Humility, Education, Leadership and Motivation – with the intentions of doing what they could to help grow the sport.
“With the guidance of professional athletes, our mission is to enhance the lives of America’s youth by maximizing their soccer potential and giving back to local and national charities,” their website states. “Through passion, humility and love, we provide children the opportunity to grow as athletes and human beings.”
