Charlie Faoro was nervous before coming to a soccer team workout this summer.
The Homewood-Flossmoor senior had stayed away from soccer for two years. He didn’t even kick a ball around with friends during that time.
Predictably, that first workout was rough.
“I didn’t want to embarrass myself,” Faoro said. “Everybody was so much faster. I didn’t play varsity my sophomore year, so the pace of play was so much faster than I was anticipating. I had to build up my confidence. It took a little bit.”
Baseball is his No. 1 sport. His athletic future . . .
