When Jim Frank first started volunteering as a Withrow High School soccer coach in Cincinnati, he and head coach Tyler Barrott had to base their substitution pattern on the players’ shoe size.
The soccer program had 40 players, almost all international students and most of them refugees, but only 23 pairs of cleats.
