Soccer has been in the bloodlines of Tacoma Tide FC midfielder Daniel Gray for some time.

His dad, Gerry, played 13 seasons for Team Canada and in 2001 was enshrined in The Soccer Hall of Fame and now mans the sideline in Tacoma as the Tide FC’s head coach.

Now it’s Daniel’s turn to play under the spotlight after playing at Bellarmine Prep and Crossfire Premier, he’s playing collegiately for the Mustangs at Cal Poly and the Tide FC this summer.

With professional soccer aspirationsin mind, Daniel recently sat down with David Falk of the Seattle Soccer Examiner.
