Brian McBride

After three World Cup appearances with the U.S. team, MLS star and current Chicago Fire forward Brian McBride credits his high schol English teacher and soccer coach John Erfort as the person who taught him to remain grounded by helping him focus on his studies.

“When I first met Brian, he was more comfortable on the soccer field than in the classroom,.” recollects Mr. Erfort. “Once he discovered learning could be fun, however, he made great strides both as a student and as a soccer player.”

Behind Every Famous Person is a Fabulous Teacher.
