-The Greatest- Muhummad Ali

“Rico is always willing to spend whatever time is necessary to make sure every player is well informed and prepared for the trials and tribulations associated with Major League Soccer and life off the field. Rico does a wonderful job of relaying relevant information each year about social media, behavior, and how taking a few extra seconds to think before acting can make all the difference in the world. He relates to both rookies and veterans and is quite in touch with issues that face professional athletes. I am always very impressed with his willingness to go the extra mile to make sure that each situation is vividly presented. .”   Kevin Hartman
