• 1:35
  SPEAKER_08: It's an exciting time for you guys right now.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_08: Um, you know, going back to now the the first game of the unified season, right?
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_08: I know it there was a little bit of debate on how it finished.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_08: Uh little controversial at the end.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_08: We're still looking at the VAR.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_08: A little controversial.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_08: Um, but we're keeping the undefeated streak going and we're on to the next game going up going up to Philadelphia.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_08: Um, what was the the feeling after that first game?
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_03: Um I think that shot was uh I'd say that was luck, because I think the game was already over.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_03: It was past the 60-minute mark, and that shot was just like unbelievable that they happened to hit that at the last minute.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_08: It it was a bit crazy for sure.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_08: For sure.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_08: A little a little controversial.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, I know you were talking you were calling it from the booth, Joe.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_08: I was down on the field.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_03: Um And I believe there might have been like an offsides called that the rat.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_10: Alex checked the tapes afterwards too, huh?
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I mean, listen, we looked at it in the studio afterwards just the other day, too.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_10: It looked like he made contact at guys for everybody at home.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_10: So the match between Atlanta United and Galaxy Unified was 3-2, right?
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_10: Going into the 59th minute of two half-hour halves.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_10: So we were with what?
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_10: It was 59.58, I think, when he made contact with the ball.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_10: We looked at it frame by frame.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_10: And it finished three to three.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_10: But the important part is, guys, you're still four years now unbeaten as a squad.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_10: Connor, what's it been like for you guys to continue this unbelievable streak that you're on?
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it's been amazing.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: For uh for the most part, the core of the team has stayed the same.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: So it's been awesome to really build these strong friendships uh with all the guys and with all the girls on the team, and uh our chemistry has really improved over the years.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: So hopefully we can keep this undefeated streak going and make even more core memories.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_10: Safe to say the X Factor was goose on the touchdown.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_10: I've never seen this man move so fast.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_10: He was going over to the opposing coach and interviewing him just to distract everybody.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_10: Then the goal went in, and then you look and you see Alex just blitzing down the sideline as well.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_10: Was there a boost having goose right there?
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_10: Come on, yeah.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_10: A little bit.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_10: Look at the guy.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_08: They're probably like, get this guy out of our way.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_08: You know, we're trying to focus on the game.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_08: He's overing to coach.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_08: Up and down, I'm sticking a microphone in his face.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_03: Marty just said, go celebrate with the team.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_03: And I was like, sure.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_08: Sure.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_08: What what does it mean for you guys to be able to represent our unified team?
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_03: Um what it means is to like work as a team, communicate, and make sure we just have fun.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_08: You guys certainly do that every single time you guys are together.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_08: You know, Connor, you touch on it, the relationships that you guys have been able to build over the years.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_08: What what made you first want to get involved with the unified team?
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so uh another partner we have on the team, Ike Eisworth, his uh little brother Jackson has Down syndrome.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um Ike was on the first soccer team I ever played on.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh his dad was our coach, and then Jackson's always been there with us 24-7, um, almost as one of my best friends.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so just seeing his relationship with sports and him wanting to compete at a super high level is why I started uh NFU in high school.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um through that I was able to meet Marty.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: Uh he runs NFU, which is kind of like the grassroots level of Unified.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um then through that I got to college at Georgia Tech, and it's so close to the Elena training grounds.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I reached out to Marty and I really wanted to try out for this team and uh was able to make it happen.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_06: So let's go.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_06: Love that, man.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_10: And for everybody at home, North Fulton United, correct, Connor?
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_10: So just another incredible local program that we have here in Atlanta.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_10: Let's go full picture.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_10: You guys have traveled all over with this unified team.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_10: Alex, I know you love to travel.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_10: You're fresh off of a cruise ship right now.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_10: We'll get into that in just a bit.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_10: Where would you say are some of your favorite places that the beautiful game has taken you so far?
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_03: Um my favorite trip with Unified Hat to be Toronto.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_08: International.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_08: Yes, sir.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_08: Love that.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_08: What about Toronto was was so exciting?
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_03: Um because it gave us a little bit more of a competition to play against them.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_03: It was an exhilarating game.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_10: It was another hat-trick, right?
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_10: Hatrick Harrison.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_10: That guy just doesn't stop.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_10: Had a hat-trick in that game.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_10: Hat-trick against the galaxy, too.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_10: Could you guys put into words what he's been doing for the squad lately?
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_10: I mean, how locked in is this guy pre-match?
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_10: Is he not talking to anybody, just looking down at the ground?
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_10: He is very quiet before the game.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_03: That first part of the galaxy game was a bit of a struggle for us till we saw that first goal from Xavier.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_10: And then from there just kind of unlocked everybody.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 6:19
  unknown: Yeah.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_10: You particularly, Alex, I feel like so.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_10: You're a FC Barcelona fan.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_10: I know that.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_10: You're always blitzing down the wing.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_10: Do you ever watch any La Mignon Maw highlights before you're in the middle?
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_03: I just think my reason for like getting down the field is I'm eager to like I'm looking for that goal to happen.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_03: So with that speed is where I feel I'm eager to score, and that's that goal will be bound to happen in the Philly game.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, absolutely.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_08: I've I saw it firsthand.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_08: On the field, blitzing past me, flying down the side.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_08: I was like, whoa, go go on then.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_08: You know, willingness to get in the box, opposite side of the field, getting in there, uh, making things happen on the attacking side of the pitch.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_08: Absolutely love to see it, man.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_08: You know, when you guys are out there, what what does it mean to be able to represent and not only represent, but also inspire, right?
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_08: Inspire so many other kids.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_08: Um, we talk about soccer being the world's game.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_08: We talk about, you know, World Soccer Day uh coming up here.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_08: And, you know, to be able to inspire so many kids, what is it what does that mean to you guys to be able to have that responsibility?
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think uh all of us on the team understand what it means to wear the Lane United badge.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um we see how many kids up from the youth level to the professional level, uh, all the hard work that gets put in.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: So it really does mean a lot um just to wear that badge.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and I think a lot of it also is showing kids that they can compete at the highest level and that there's nothing within them that that should stop them from having the opportunities uh as everyone else in the world.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Um so I think that's what it means.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of a beacon almost.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: We see a lot of uh supporters that comes to our game with intellectual disabilities, and it's it's super, super cool to see them cheering us on uh and some of the other amazing opportunities that Lena has given us, uh, including like we have our own scarf um that got released uh last season.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: I remember that was just a super, super cool opportunity.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um, that's so cool.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, I I know between Lena and Marissa and and just everyone within our our front office, they do so much to be able to not only promote but just support and everyone from you know Mr.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_08: Arthur Blank all the way down, filtering down, making the unified team such an initiative within the club and such a pillar of of this football club.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_08: Um, I think it's it's fantastic.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_08: And I love that you guys have been able to take that responsibility on because it is an honor to be able to wear the badge.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_08: Um, but then to be able to go out and do it with such a smile on your face, you guys do it every single time you're at practice, every single time you guys are together.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_08: I love the joy that you guys have when when you're out there competing.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_10: I think it's something that's contagious too.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_10: You guys touched on it just the pillar that the 17s, the fans of Atlanta United have been every signing day, they're there.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_10: Custom chance for you guys.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_10: When you hear your last name, go out there, put pen to paper with this guy next to you.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_10: What is that feeling like as you get to embark on another year?
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_03: When we're signing those contracts, it's just uh another feeling that it's opportunity that we get to play on that field and do it with our teammates.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_08: To be able to do that at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the grass.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, that that was the World Cup grass, right?
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, like there's only gonna be a handful of players that have been able, you know, will be able to say, you know, after this summer that they were on grass, Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_08: How how cool was that to be able to be in the stadium, to have our supporters in there?
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_08: What was that atmosphere like for you guys?
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it was phenomenal.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, like you said, how important it is, or how how rare it is almost to be able to do that.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, it feels kind of like I guess an opportunity that you would have.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's once of a lifetime.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: It kind of reminds me a little bit of the Olympics uh in Atlanta, just how people still talk about that.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: I I still see people everywhere in Atlanta wearing uh like volunteer merch.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um it kind of I don't know how, but it just ties back to that.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: Just a feeling of wow, this is a historical moment.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um I'm really really excited for the World Cup to be in Atlanta so cool.

  SPEAKER_10: Oh, guys, we're gonna take a look at the monitor right here.

  SPEAKER_10: So we've got some of your favorite moments so far with Unified.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_10: A couple of these are from Media Day as well.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_10: So, Connor, I guess we'll start with you.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_10: Do you have a favorite moment with Unified if you could pick one so far?
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it really is hard to choose one.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: I would I would say something probably off the field.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh last year when we were in LA, um the LA team was nice enough to take us to their beaches, uh and we played uh volleyball and and soccer tennis out there.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um I think that was really beautiful, just them uh sharing a piece of their city with us, and it was it was a very fun uh Alex, how about you?
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_03: It's hard to just choose one moment because we've been to so many places, but I definitely think seeing the beaches with the LA team was definitely a good moment that I think we've spent with the unified team.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I remember that that afternoon super well.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_10: I was trying to keep the camera not getting too sandy, but that was really cool.

• 12:24
  SPEAKER_10: Yes.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_10: And it sounds like Lena told us that you're a little anti-dog.

  SPEAKER_10: Getting your world up at R.
• 12:32

• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I can see all three of them doing it.

  SPEAKER_08: That's what we heard as well.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_08: That's what we heard as well.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_08: But you know, sometimes you gotta live, right?
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_08: You gotta be out there, you know.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe ask for forgiveness, not for approval.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_10: Who's the most positive person on the squad?
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'll go with Daniel Urshansky or Alex, just uh with all of his giggles and laughter.

  SPEAKER_00: I feel like he knows it gets us kind of riled up.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_10: Coach Marco, what's he putting on?
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's like Drake.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it's always like Drake or um just like random rappers that you've never heard of.

  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_10: Final one, guys.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_10: Which teammate have you seen grow the most as a player and a person since you've met them through Unified?
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_10: That's a deep one.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_03: I think for me, I think the person who's grown the most to me is Xavier.
• 19:25
  unknown: Wow.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I would honestly say uh Alex right here.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: Um I feel like he's gotten I've only been on the team for about three years, but I feel like he's improved uh just an insane amount every single year um throughout practice.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I feel like socially you've been able to form a lot of super, super strong friendships throughout the team, and um it's been pretty cool to see.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_08: Love that.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_08: I was gonna say how you know, we're we're asking about teammates, but yeah, you know, out Alex, how would you describe your growth?
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_08: You know, obviously hearing Connor talk about you is is inspiring to me and to Joe.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_03: My growth overall is because I've been moving a lot on the field.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_03: I've moved from defense to my offense.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_03: I just think it's incredible for how resilient I am on the field and the fact that I'm just willing to do anything to help the team.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, absolutely.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_10: And it's not just on the field, Alex, it's who you are off the field.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_10: The whether you are on the bus with everybody, how positive you are.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_10: I think uh Lena, anybody in this program can say it's been really cool to see you grow up and for both of you guys too.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_10: You're not just class on grass, you're class off of it as well, which is real cool.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_10: I like drop the mic, baby.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_10: Guys, the World Cup trophy was just here in Atlanta, and it wasn't just with Brand Kuzane, it was with Carlos Pujol as well, which what a what a backline pairing that would have been if he was playing in the field.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_10: What was that like for you guys to see the World Cup trophy, the one that the guys are gonna lift up here in July, come right here to the 404?
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_03: I think the feeling was amazing to see it here.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: I I agree, it felt like like a little piece of history.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_00: Um but I honestly think it was even cooler to see Carlos and have him to speak to us.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: It was really amazing, like able to go back and look at footage of his game uh and just see like wow, I can't believe that person stood five feet across me without any bodyguards or anything.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um kind of like humanizes uh a lot of the grades a little bit in some way.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, I was you know, I was fortunate enough.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_08: We were up there talking, and you know, I was trying to emphasize to not only the Unify team, but the entire group of kids that were there that day, and you know, just how great Carlos Puyo was as a player.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, yeah, you know, legend, iconic, world class.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_08: I I tried to explain to my kids later that day, you the best defender at that time in the world, in world football and world soccer, won everything, uh just unbelievable career.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_08: And when you think of somebody on the field as great as he was, you sometimes find it hard or difficult to think about the person off the field.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_08: And like you just touched on, Connor, you know, he was such a gentleman.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_08: Kind, so courteous to everyone, whether it was gracious with his time and speaking with everyone or taking pictures or autographs, he was fantastic.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_08: And you know, as your little saying, you know, class on the grass as well as off it.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_08: Um, but that that brings us to to kind of our next point.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_08: And you know, being being a winner, being a competitor isn't just about on the field, it's it's off the field, it's being an inspiration to your teammates, being a good teammate.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_08: Um, and you know, guys, we were so honored and and privileged to have you guys come and join the show here.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_08: Uh, but we also had a a little bit of a reason to bring you guys.

• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I can enjoy it at all ages, and I think uh if you're thinking about trying out for a team, um I guess not trying is always the same as failing, so you might as well try.

• 27:31
  SPEAKER_08: It's gonna be a fantastic experience.
• 27:33

  SPEAKER_05: Uh it is not DACU, Georgia, it's Dacula.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_10: DACULA.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_05: So hey, what I did, uh I thought I would just uh mess with your brain some more.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_05: So for the mailbag today, I actually um instead of putting questions in there, I put four I put some more Georgia cities in there.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_05: Uh-oh.
