BYU Soccer in Nicaragua
by staff on May.02, 2009, under Team
Four players, Drew Van Wagenen, KC Whitworth, Tyler Christianson, BJ Pugmire and Coach Watkins are in Nicaragua with an organization called Cause for Hope.
They are helping very small businesses refine their process, become more efficient, and self sufficient. They are traveling with members of the BYU Women’s Soccer, Women’s Volleyball, and Men’s Basketball teams and their Head Coaches. It is a great opportunity and another chance for these players to use the Spanish they learned on their missions (Portuguese for KC).

What kind of experience do these young players bring to the business owners of Nicaragua? Seems kind of like an odd fit — sending college athletes to help people run their businesses.

The players and staff were also with business leaders and MBA students. It was a great experience for us. We learned from everyone involved.
