Liverpool and Scotland star Andy Robertson has revealed more about his new AR26 charity foundation.
Robertson is set to offer free coaching sessions up and down the country to help out disadvantaged youngsters that want to play football.
“Take some pressure off”
“Sport is expensive, and it can be a burden for parents who are struggling, so we’re looking to provide free coaching up and down the country to take some pressure off the kids and parents who need the relief” Robertson said (Daily Mail).
“We’ll help people in every situation but not everyone is born into a privileged background or has an easy upbringing. Kids can be born into families with addiction issues, families who struggle to make ends meet, and we want to help kids across Scotland” the Liverpool star concluded.
Robertson deserves great credit for taking the time to set up this foundation in the middle of a pandemic. It is even better that he is looking to help those who need it most and want to play football.
Looking to bring some enjoyment in a difficult year
2020 has been a very difficult year for everyone. Robertson is obviously looking to bring some enjoyment to those youngsters that love football.
Robertson knows has made it in football the hard way. Not many players take the route from lower league Scottish football to Champions League winner. Therefore, he knows what it is like to start at the bottom of the football ladder.
Who knows, perhaps one of the players that is coached in one of Robertson’s foundation sessions will end up following in his footsteps.
