#8 - Talks With a Mentor: Professional vs Collegiate Soccer, Identifying Successful People, and Building a Network That You’re Proud to Be a Part of With Mike Graczyk.

Seeking Authenticity hosted by iAlign

Mike Graczyk is a good friend of mine, who was a goalkeeper for the University of New Mexico before being drafted to play professionally. After several years in the MLS, he coached at Stanford, Harvard, his alma mater, the University of New Mexico, New Mexico United, the state’s first professional soccer team, and now at Notre Dame. Mike was a coach for one of my club soccer teams and his leadership, along with the guys on those teams, played a large role in who I became as an adult. Here, we talk a bit about that experience of creating a strong network that you’re proud to be a part of and serve in, about his transition from college to professional soccer and then into coaching, about recruiting young players, and about the interest which sparked his PhD studies, looking for the flags that might predict a person's success. I had a blast listening to Mike and I know you will too, enjoy.
