The Trinidad and Tobago native recently concluded a successful collegiate career at the University of Connecticut. His leadership, athleticism, and competitive drive were vital components of UConn’s 2007 Big East Championship. Fittingly, James received several awards and accolades at season’s end. He kindly answered some questions as Toronto FC’s preseason training begins.
- What are your goals heading into Toronto FC’s preseason camp which begins on February 1st?
Julius James: I never really share my goals, but I intend to make them.
- Toronto FC is supported by several groups including Tribal Rhythm Nation, which represents the African, Caribbean, and Latin communities in Toronto and Canada. Are you looking forward to interacting with the TFC supporters?
JJ: I am definitely looking forward to meeting and interacting with the TFC supporters. I heard so many great things about them and their passion for the sport and team.
- How will playing for Toronto FC help in terms of a future call up with The Soca Warriors?
JJ: I am not sure how it will help; right now the only thing I am focused on is TFC and becoming a better player. I hope that becoming a professional, playing, and improving can get me a chance.
- You were the 2007 captain of the Big East Champion UConn Huskies. What leadership experiences will you take with you from the collegiate to the professional game?
JJ: I will try to take all my leadership qualities with me to the next level, but I first have to learn the ropes and understand the system and gain respect.
