Here It Is! Richard Jata Draft Speech

Well, I finally found it! The 2009 MLS SuperDraft speech by Richard Jata. An unbelievable moment for any player, but for Jata it was something more than that. You can see the pure joy and humility on display as he took the podium late in the draft. This is probably one of the most true and unrehearsed speeches I have ever seen, which makes it even that much more enjoyable to watch. It gives hope to the kids out there, all over the world, who have the dream of playing professional soccer. As Kevin Garnett once said, "Anything is possible."
