"My dream became reality my junior year in high school when I told my mom and dad, 'I'm going to America,'" Nelissen said. "My senior year I got a phone call and I was talking to Coach Cross. I can still remember the day like yesterday. He asked me if I wanted to come to America (from Belgium}. I said, 'really? Yes!'"
