Barret Saul

West Virginia University

We are so excited to have Barrett home after a dream 10 months of football in Spain with Eture. We can’t express enough what a fantastic decision it was to send Barrett to your Eture Gap Year program. During his time in Spain, he experienced tremendous growth as a player and a person. 

His opportunity he earned with the historic Alboraya club gave him the chance to battle weekly to stay up and avoid relegation. During his first few weeks with the club, he persevered through a lack of playing time and overcoming the language barrier. He shared with us that you gave specific feedback and goals to work towards during that time. By Christmas he was in the starting 11 and playing the majority of the minutes. Most definitely growth through adversity. 

Barrett maintains a “group chat” with his teammates and coach from Alboraya. He was “adopted” by the nearby Cracks Cafe. Additionally, by immersing himself in the Spanish language and culture, this allowed him to grow as a person as well as a player at Alboraya. This immersion & experience in the Spanish language and culture will impact his life forever! 

The Eture teammates and staff truly became his family. This was Barrett’s first time away from home and he found “new” brothers in his Eture team.  The staff provided a professional environment to train and develop.

Barrett is already missing everything about his time in Spain and is planning a return trip with his teammates. 
We can’t thank you enough for being his advisor and advocate through the college recruiting process. He was able to achieve his dream goal thanks to his time at Eture! 

Jaime, we are so grateful for Barrett’s time at Eture. Though a difficult choice to take the leap of faith into an unknown experience, it was by far best decision we have ever made. Thank you so very much. 

Vamos Toros!
