This is a great story, especially for a high school student living in the DC area such as myself. I first saw Freddy Adu at a soccer tournament that I went to watch because Freddy played on a club team here called the Potomac Cougars that a friend of mine played on. I was amazed at his skill and his ability to see the field, and he's only 13! Who knows whether he is destined for great things or not... (Nike sure thinks he is) but regardless, it's great to see a local sports star make it on an international level, and I'll continue to watch his career with great interest.
Freddie Adu gets $1 million Nike contract.
