The story of Michael Robards is being distributed nationally to the soccer community in that hope that others will learn from his mistake.
My name is Michael Robards, and I am 25 years old. As I write you, I’m in jail, in the custody of Johnson County, Kansas charged with involuntary manslaughter.
As a long time member of the soccer community, having played at the premier, high school and collegiate level, as well as coached, I’d like to share my life altering story of the harmful and deadly effects of drinking and driving. My hope is that by sharing my story I will initiate changes in attitudes and actions about drinking and driving and hopefully with your support we can save lives.
Coach Rogers sent this to be posted earlier today, but SGFsoccer has already posted the complete letter. Please take a few minutes to read the complete letter.
