Anyone who has been closely watching the USMNT since the beginning of the Klinsmann reign has surely noticed Brek Shea, and not because of his above-average stature. The tow-headed midfielder has made the best of his national team call ups by not only assisting in the only goal scored so far in the Klinsmann era but by also remaining one of the few consistent players in the three Klinsmann matches thus far. Plenty of good and bad things have been said of the form of the USMNT under the new German coach, but all good things have been said about this 21-year-old midfielder who has another passion outside of his chosen career. Brek Shea first began painting while at a friend's house and has since gone on to raise a nice chunk of change for the FC Dallas Foundation, which focuses on helping disadvantaged children and giving a leg up to future student athletes, among other things. The video below is of Shea explaining his passion while showing some of his work and also shows clips of the auction where he managed to raise money of the foundation.

And for all that are interested, the lovely painting he did featuring the FC Dallas logo will be available for auction from October 1-14 here.
