Natalie Chou, Sean Davis and Younghoe Koo are speaking out at the start of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month to inspire more young Asian Americans to embrace the sports they love.
Younghoe Koo was born in South Korea and only learned about football after he moved to the U.S. at the age of 12.
The 27-year-old is now a kicker in the NFL who joined the league in 2017 with the Los Angeles Chargers. Two months ago,“I really believe that like no matter what I look like, if my talent and if my skill level is good enough, the football doesn't know who's kicking it,” Koo told “GMA.” When he was growing up, Koo said he never saw any football players that looked like him and is excited to be a role model for other young kids today.
“I think it's really cool to be in this position to kind of share my story and be able to inspire the younger kids,” Koo said.
