One of the best parts of our Iowa Soccer Legends's Series is bridging the gap between the past and present. In a sense, it's almost like a history lesson. Today's guest, Mark Modersohn, is one that many people may not remember, but his collegiate playing career may be unrivaled by any Iowa soccer player ever. Among the Southwest Missouri State graduate's accomplishments: school career records in games (81), saves (290), shutouts (26), goals against average (0.88), goalkeeper wins (51) and minutes in goal (7,730). He was a four-year all-Missouri Valley Conference selection, the 1997 MVC Newcomer of the Year, 1999 MVC Defensive Player of the Year, a three-time all-region selection from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, and one of 30 players picked to the MVC all-centennial team in 2007. Interestingly, he hung up his gloves/boots after graduating and quickly transitioned into life in the business world. We discuss what stokes his fire and what it was like growing up in a competitive household. Of course, now it comes full circle for Modersohn the father, who now has his own competitive household with children in sports. Lots of fun stories - Roosevelt Roughriders, Des Moines Menace and Southwest Missouri State!
