Before kickoff at the inaugural GSF Senior All-Star Men’s Soccer Game, honorary captain Thomas Silvas delivered a heartfelt message to the players, sharing his journey from humble beginnings in Campbell to becoming an NCAA Champion, U.S. National Team player, and community leader.
His words resonated deeply with the seniors, including BVAL Senior of the Year Manalo Joaquin, who said:
“Thomas Silvas was motivating and special. The honorary captains speaking to us made the entire experience of being an all-star even more amazing and special for us seniors.”
Silvas reminded the athletes to “Dream Big – Soñar a lo Grande,” emphasizing the power of hard work, perseverance, and giving back — values that perfectly captured the spirit of the night.
