At age 4, Brett started playing Soccer at the Florida Kraze Krush Soccer Club (FKK). For hours and days on end, Brett kicked soccer balls off the living room walls altering his left and right foot. When he took the field, he quickly dominated scoring at will in every match he played. He always had soccer balls underneath him. Coach Ray Sandidge noticed Brett and selected him to play on FKK’s top level youth Bridge team. Under Coach Ray, Brett fell in love with soccer and it became his passion. He played with FKK and was the team’s leading scorer until age 9. At age 9, Brett was selected to become a member of the Orlando City Development Academy where he played for 2 seasons and was the leading goal scorer on his team. During this time, his team was undefeated and won every tournament played. Those years at Orlando City set the skill foundation for Brett for years to come.
