Sean's National Team Commercial

Ten years ago today, this commercial debuted during a US Men's National Team game on ESPN. The kid at the end of this video is my youngest son Sean. I got a call from the advertising agency asking if he would come out and film it on a cold morning on Chicago's lakefront. He was 8 years old at the time, and he was paid a brand new pair of cleats for his time (Size One). He still plays soccer, by the way, although it's clear he will never play for the national team. This is as close as he will ever come. But it's still pretty fun to relive it....
