The Impact of Strikers on the Lives of Our Alumni
James Heidorn
The traits that I took away from my career playing at Strikers was determination, effort and resilience Strikers has taught me that whatever I do in life to do it to my absolute best ability.
I believe the Strikers magic moves training we did set me up for great success in my soccer development. I did not play at Geneva HS because of tearing my ACL twice playing basketball. I stopped playing soccer for all of high school and ended up playing 4 years of college soccer NJCAA and D3. I really believe this foundation from the Strikers magic moves training allowed me to find my feet again in the game and re-establish my passion for soccer.
My time spent at strikers is filled with many good memories. My fondest times were our training sessions because they pushed us. We had a quality team and our coaches and trainer Marcelo had us going for new heights and levels in our games.
I play soccer still to this day in the Chicago Metro League for team called Real Eagles FC. Also played for Strikers men’s team we had few years ago in the metro league.
