I had the opportunity to play for Strikers from high school through the U23 program. I especially enjoyed the U23 program while training over the summer in preparation for the seasons at North Central College. Strikers offered specific training that helped develop my skillset as a goalkeeper. I always had great goalkeeping sessions with Coach Bill. The focus on goalkeeping helped as I was able to play 4 years of college soccer and continue to play rec league teams post college graduation. The skills learned at Strikers are transferrable to life well beyond playing soccer. There are so many skills that were impressed upon me as a member of Strikers. Dedication, adversity, grit are all skill sets helped me grow to a partner at a fortune 400 financial firm.
