Joseph Seward caught the club’s attention at a camp hosted by Real Madrid representatives at the Pacific Institute for Sport Education
Joseph’s father, Joe Seward, thought it was an unlikely dream.
Father and son just returned to their home in Tsartlip First Nation from Joseph’s third training trip to Spain. They stayed two weeks in the dorms Joseph has been invited to live in next fall while training. Scouts from high-level teams, including teams in La Liga, the men’s top professional soccer division of Spain’s soccer league, will attend weekend games, offering Joseph the chance to show off his skills.
Gord Elliott, who has coached Joseph on W̱SÁNEĆ United, said he’s a creative player, and a hard worker who is dedicated to the sport. While others in the community have shown similar talent, Joseph is the first to pursue a huge opportunity like this, Elliott said. “We’ve been just waiting for that one athlete to get out there and break that barrier and get out there and prove themselves,” Elliott said. “Because I think once it’s done once, you’re going to see many more athletes and soon enough, we’re going to have a professional soccer player from the W̱SÁNEĆ community.”
