Growing up in England, Luc de Fougerolles’ home was filled with tennis, not soccer, balls. The Fulham FC under-21 center back’s father, Jean, littered their home with the small green objects to help his three sons get comfortable kicking the ball. It was a practice Jean used himself, an ocean away in Montreal.
