One of the most rewarding aspects of my career is getting to witness moments most people never see. That was especially true when I was invited to the Air Force Academy to film a player from the Colorado Springs Switchbacks USL club flying in a glider with cadets for a collaborative piece about teamwork in both soccer and the military. The whole day was incredible and eye-opening — from the quiet, focused intensity of the hangar to the graceful, almost reverent silence of the glider cutting through the sky — and despite a few technical hiccups we still managed to capture a compelling, honest interview.
