When my mom moved here for work,
I was a little scared at first.
I really wanted to play football,
but I didn't speak English at all.
Gary: So we'll be attacking at the sortie...
Me and Glen coach the Portadown youth team.
One night, I just looked over and saw Alberto.
I just said, "Do you want to play football?"
He couldn't really understand me.
Well, I don't speak Spanish. Glen speaks a wee bit.
I'd been using Google Translate in work,
so I thought I'd just give Gary the app on my phone.
Gary: Go play left-hand side, okay?
[electronic female voice speaking Spanish]
Gary: That's the breakthrough we needed.
Gary: First, we started with the basics
and then got into the more advanced coaching drills.
Alberto: Coach Gary taught me things
Gary: We just kept working with him,
Patrick Van Dort: This season,
his stats are something ridiculous,
Gary: Don't stop! Keep it going!
Patrick Van Dort: That's phenomenal at that age.
Patrick Van Dort: Now Alberto's being scouted
by some of the English Premiership clubs.
phone: Coach, can we go home now?

what a little communication can do.
