3... 2... 1...The world is watching. ⚽🔥   Over the next month, billions of fans will tune in as the world's biggest soccer stars take the pitch. But every athlete's story starts somewhere.   For USMNT defender Mark McKenzie #22, it started with people who believed in him and reminded him that anything is possible.   His message to Club kids:   "No matter what comes your way, know that you have people who truly care and love you in your corner. You can do it."   At Boys & Girls Clubs, we see that same spirit every day in young people building confidence, chasing their goals, and discovering they can achieve more than they ever imagined. As the world focuses on the game, we're celebrating the next generation of leaders, athletes, creators, and changemakers who are already writing their own stories.   👀 Stay tuned throughout the tournament and tell us: How many Club youth do you spot in the action?   Because every big dream starts somewhere. 💙
