We love what Caleb said

We love what Caleb said: “I have so much respect for Andrew Aris and Kai from Spirit Of Football who travel day in and day out for months from London to Brazil! I was exhausted after just one day with them and #TheBall on Saturday. It was totally worth it to see cold NYC frowns turn to smiles as we threw people the ball for a header and then filmed them sign it. Take time to interact with a stranger today. It is totally worth it.”
