When we thought of tracking the progress of a newcomer, it seemed Bradley Bourgeois was the only choice. The defender was added to the Dynamo roster back in December when the team signed him as a Homegrown Player. The accolades are plenty: three consecutive Defensive Player of the Year awards at Tulsa University, two straight conference tournament championships, 2015 AAC Defensive Player of the Year.
You'll get to know Bourgeois on the pitch soon enough. Off the pitch? Get to know him right here, in his own words, all year long.
I am currently working on my positioning and crossing. Playing a new position is difficult, and knowing the little details of where i need to be at certain times saves alot of energy and helps with spacing. Both offensively and defensively positioning is a major to success playing right back.
The team so far is a close knit group of guys who are very hardworking and know that we can make it to the playoffs. We all get along really well and even as a rookie you don't know if you will fit in, but with this team it was really easy.
I am currently listening to Adele, Drake and Keith Urban. All very different, but I like to listen to just about anything.
