Today is Unsung Heroes Day on myFM and today we feature Strathroy resident and President of Strathroy United Soccer Club Paul Amarelo. He’s been involved in the game from when he was a kid and for the last 15 years has been involved either as a coach or on the soccer board. The outdoor soccer season was cancelled in 2020 and still no sign of anything different right now for 2021 but he says the key during something like a pandemic from a sporting organization stand point is simply to be ready.
Amarelo says he personally does not consider himself as an unsung hero but more so the entire soccer group continuing to push through and that comes with keeping soccer families up to date as much as necessary.
He adds one of the biggest challenges is losing touch with the players, the kids and the game.
