Cole Campbell is the latest American soccer star making waves in Europe and he credits his mom

What happened

The breakout American star of the soccer season so far in Germany, Cole Campbell, has help from an experienced training partner — his mom. Rakel Karvelsson was a pro player in the U.S. and played internationally for Iceland. Two decades on, she's a “soccer mom” like few others, still helping Campbell develop his game as he makes waves in the German Bundesliga with seemingly fearless small-town team Elversberg.
