Travel Inspiration: Spies, Steve Nash & Football for Good

We’ve been Steve Nash fans for a while. His acute passing and tireless hustle make him a great basketball player. But his soccer skills are what made us take particular interest. In the past he’s appeared at the Chinatown Soccer Club in NYC for a pick up game or two. And now he’s traveling the globe in hopes of taking down the world’s greatest players with his sneaky dribbling skills. And it’s all to promote a good cause.

Steve has partnered with Athletes for Africa to bring attention to the Football for Good Campaign. It has two basic goals: 1) To develop world-class youth football (soccer) academies that are sustainable, community-centered social businesses in regions that have been ravaged by war; and 2) To be a champion of human rights and child protection, and a committed global advocate for African players, families and their communities. Make a $5 donation and earn a chance to win an all expenses paid trip for two to the ‘Showdown in Chinatown’, a soccer match between some of the worlds top soccer and basketball stars in the heart of New York City.
