Congratulations to Josh Sundquist and the U.S. National Amputee Soccer Team on bringing home the third place trophy from the Costa Rica Cup! This win makes the first ever top-three international finish for the United States! Josh and the team trained ridiculously hard in preparation for this well-deserved victory. CNN featured Josh in their 'CNN Heroes' series in which he spoke about hoping to play soccer again in the future- something he thought he'd never be able to do again. We are thrilled to see this hope become a reality in Josh's life because of his unwavering desire to challenge the status quo.

“Ten years ago CNN Heroes took this photo to symbolize how I couldn’t play soccer anymore because I had lost my leg. But now there’s a thing called the U.S. Amputee Soccer Team. And I have the honor of being on it.”
