What’s going on y’all, my name is Sammy Friedrich and, like everyone else, I am from Charleston as well. I am currently a sophomore at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and I am on the men’s soccer team here. I play center back as well as a holding midfielder. My background in soccer is pretty expansive. I began playing when I was old enough to walk, and ever since then, The Beautiful Game has been a big part of my life. I played my entire club career at United Soccer Academy of Mount Pleasant, but I have also done other things with the sport. I have been to Europe multiple times to play. These countries include Germany, Spain, Belgium, Holland, and France. While in Spain, I was a part of the Generation Adidas Real Madrid Select program and I played against the likes of Real Madrid’s youth teams. From there I was invited to train at Club Atletico de Banfield in Buenos Aires. I spent 4 months there training with their academy (many players of which are now with the first team). In addition to my travels with outdoor soccer, I am a big supporter of the growth of futsal in the United States. I was invited to the Futsal National Team training camp and remain involved with the local futsal program Elite Futsal Charleston. That’s basically my background in the game. Now that y’all know me a little better y’all can follow my social media and stay up to date with everything that is happening with our blog!
