This week, we’re keeping our #TBT rolling with another #Aaronson feature! Todays Alumni spotlight is on Brenden’s brother, YSC Academy grad, and fellow #USMNT teammate paxten_aaronson8 🇺🇸 ⚽️ 
Paxten took time out of his busy schedule to talk with us about his life after graduation, and gave helpful advice to the next generation of YSC students.

- Since graduation I have been pursuing my dream of a professional soccer career. I started out with Philadelphia union, then transferred to eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, and now recently on loan to vitesse for the reminder of the season in the Netherlands!

- The thing I miss most about ysc is the every day banter, and everyday encounters I had with my peers and teachers! Some of my greatest memories were built at ysc and I miss the people and the school atmosphere a lot!

- Some advice I would give for the upcoming class is to always believe in yourself, and your end goal. It may not always be perfect, and it’s normal if there’s some hard times, or set backs. But never stop trying, and too also always stay in contact with current teammates and classmates, the relationships you create at YSC Academy will go a long way!

Thank you paxten_aaronson8 
We appreciate you taking time to catch up, and we wish you continued success on your professional journey! 💙 🩵
