Great story. I speak from experience as I came to the US on a soccer scholarship in January 1984. I had a spring to prove myself. I fortunately was good enough and as I was a couple years older (24), I was made captain. I just recently retired from 31 years of college coaching. Can’t believe a coach would cut you after 3 scrimmage games and not let you practice. Unfortunately, it is part of the landscape and lads coming from England need to be more educated in the process and get to know what they are getting into. You can only appreciate the mountain tops when you have experienced the valleys.

Love the channel those D2 days I still watch those videos to this day real inspiration keep up the good work

Going to US this fall and inspired by your story mate. Congrats on your journey!

Very happy for you Griff. Such a great inspiring story. Respect for never giving up and always giving everything. Excited to find out how your Journey continues.

Quality lad, did well sticking at it and proving yourself as a top player!

Thank you for sharing your story!!!! Looking forward for the next chapter! You've helped me "coach" my high schooler through some mental challenges!

Loved the look back & honesty of how your career went. You’ve inspired a generation and given them so much insight along the way. Excited to see what’s next! Absolute legend 🫡

What a journey ❤🔥🔥🔥

Great story, college soccer has its ups and downs for sure. Good luck with what's next, excited to follow along here on the channel

Way to keep your head down, putting in the work & not giving up on the dream... & Congrats on graduating...!!!

Great story & journey, you should be very proud of your achievements & mental strength. Your vids have helped me support my son on his US college soccer journey as an international Freshman starting Fall 2023 - thank you. I wish you much success in the next chapter & look forward to following. Greetings from🇨🇭!

Hey Jack, that’s an amazing video. I already told you before on how much I got respect for you and your journey. Me and you have a lot of things in common such as being rejected by Missouri State Soccer Team, and finding motivation to keep going forward and find somewhere else to play college soccer. Has been a while since we met each other at that football tailgate in MSU, but I just wanna say to you that I wish you all the best on your life, continuing or not your soccer career, I wish you can keep moving forward towards your goals in your life. Do it, for the lovely game ⚽️😊

Griff, I visited MoBap for soccer some time ago and you were one of the first people I met on the team. Even though I ended up committing to another school, I wanted to let you know that you made a huge impact on me. You were always positive, outspoken and a great captain on the field. Congratulations on a successful college career!

Respect the honesty and vulnerability. What a run dude! Now that you're done....more collabs? 👀

He’s Back! What a journey it’s been. Should be proud of yourself, Griff, I know we are! 🙏❤️

Hi mate love the video, what is next for you?

I’ve enjoyed following your journey. I played for Wartburg College in the 1990s so I’ve played against many of the same schools you have. What’s next for you?
