Record Broken for Largest Soccer Lesson

The San Jose Earthquakes broke the Guinness World Record for hosting the largest soccer lesson in Morgan Hill, California. Exhausted and really, really happy. I feel amazing to be part of this and I'm so happy that they did this for the community. It's awesome. Quakes legend Shea Salinas gave a 30-minute lesson on the fundamentals of dribbling, passing, and shooting. There was a few key things that I wanted to talk about. There's only two things you can control, your work ethic and your attitude. So today, our goal was to work hard and to have a good attitude. And then the other thing was to work on your weaknesses. If there's something you're not very good at, if you practice it, if you work hard enough at it, you can get better at it. Anyone 5 and older could participate for free. 956 people participated in the event on Saturday. The previous record was 835 participants organized by an organization in Australia. Today, you had 956. It's a new Guinness World Records title. San Jose Earthquakes, I'd like to congratulate you, Shea. I was really surprised by people's energy today. I mean, I didn't have to tell them to cheer. I didn't have to tell them to clap. After every drill, people were clapping. People were encouraging each other. Almost everyone was participating. It was just a really positive event for this community. I'm part of a Guinness Book of World Records. Got a good workout, yeah? I got Shea's autograph. Go Quakes! I feel good, I feel accomplished. It's such a beautiful day out, great breeze. Not the lesson I thought it would be. Definitely got a good workout in, so motivation to keep working out a little bit more. It was actually really fun. It was really fun. I enjoyed all of the different exercises we did and hanging out with everyone. It was honestly fantastic. And body armor as well. It's not the first time the San Jose Earthquakes set a Guinness World Record. In October 2012, over 6,200 people participated in Groundbreaking Day for starting construction on the club's stadium. The previous record was over 4,500 set by a group in India.
