Special one today. Meet Gio Enriquez, Texas born, developed in Dallas, Cincinnati tested, who’s making a name for himself at the highest footballing level in America.

Gio’s story is one of pure passion, dedication and grit. Picked up by the FC Dallas Academy, he tore up the pitch in his youth, making his way to NCAA D1 footy where he sharpened his skills as a leader and player.

Now, Gio shares his talents at FC Cincinnati in the player welfare and administration sectors, where he has a vital impact on some of the biggest names in the MLS. Finding his voice and his feet, Gio is on his way to amazing things in the administration and business side of the game, and we are so excited to watch him grow.

I’ve been incredibly blessed to call Gio a good friend over the past year or so. This guy’s got the world at his feet. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you find yourself passionate about any of the topics discussed.

Interested in the people side of the game? Give this one a listen, you won’t want to miss it.
