- Yes, good work, fellas! Yes!
My name is Denzel Pettigrew.
I'm the coach and owner of Brew City Legends FC,
the newest pro indoor team in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Yep, let's talk, okay? [blows whistle]
Indoor soccer is very different than outdoor.
It's a different style.
You have to be in tip-top shape.
More of play like a hockey-style, up and down,
up and down, getting your shifts in, quick play,
quick combinations, and just gettin' a lot of shots off.
We play in the Premier Arena Soccer League against
Cincinnati Swerve, Chicago Mustangs, Detroit Waza.
I feel like we have the hardest division, the best division,
to be honest with you.
Last year, the division champs,
and now we're trying to repeat.
- Agustin Rey: So, there's a big statement to make this year, you know.
This is a great program.
The team, the atmosphere is awesome.
The coach: man, couldn't ask for more genuine guy.
- That's what I wanna see, got some big team.
[shouting] Who's on the keeper?
- It's impressive for one guy to kinda take it all on his shoulders
and start something pretty much from nothing
and grow it already after a couple years
into what it is now.
- Denzel: Been playin' soccer since I was seven.
- Se?ora Pettigrew: Soccer took him all over the world and it still does.
[Se?ora Pettigrew cheers]
He came home one day and said, "Mom, I wanna own my own."
And I'm like, "What do you mean?"
He was like, "Mom, I think I can do this."
He said, "I've been all over the world
"studying from everyone.
I wanna try it."
- If it was somethin' I loved,
my mom always told me to go after it.
She keeps me motivated, she keeps me going every day.
She pushes me.
It's an awesome lady right there.
There's not a lot of African Americans
I feel like, growin' up,
was in that sport.
I am the first African American soccer owner in the PASL.
Let's go! [blows whistle]
It's a blessing that I am the first one,
but color factor doesn't matter.
It's just me just doin' what I love at the end of the day.
We have all different type of nationalities on this team,
and I like it that way.
To team: Every time you talkin'...
We all get along.
It's a family, it's a brotherhood here,
and they all play for each other.
Great practice, lookin' good.
One, two, three. - All in unison: Legends!
