Ahead of the New York Red Bulls' first leg Conference Championship clash against Atlanta United on Sunday (5 pm ET | ESPN, ESPN Deportes, TSN, TVAS), star midfielder Tyler Adams penned a heartfelt article in The Players' Tribune.
Adams illuminated experiences in his childhood, his love for his mother as well as his growing family. He also detailed his first goal and his "second family", the Red Bulls.
"I always thought it was something I would need to do on my own, but what I realized with time is that my journey to becoming a professional was actually made possible by the people surrounding me," Adams wrote.
He also talked about MLS Cup.
"The club has given me so much," Adams wrote. "And now, for real, I feel like I have a chance to return the favor. Jesse Marsch, and now Chris Armas — and the countless other people who have built this team — have put us in a place to accomplish our ultimate goal: Win an MLS Cup. Our supporters deserve that."
"Thank you," Adams said while addressing the supporters. "And let’s go get the damn thing."
