Growing up, Phil Stair competed with his older brother in everything – including the game of soccer. It was that competition that drove the redshirt junior goalkeeper to find his passion in soccer and with the goalkeeper position. When his brother first received a pair of goalie gloves, Stair wanted a pair of his own as well. It was by a stroke of luck that his brother’s team needed a substitute goalie one game and as soon as he stepped in net, he felt right where he belonged.
