E84: Iowa Soccer Legends' Interview Series with Aaron Leventhal


Listen Later

Pods come and pods go, but we feel like this is a timeless classic, much like our guest, Aaron Leventhal. Aaron loves fitness, a love that started with his dad, who as Aaron explains it was the least-skilled basketball player at the Jewish Community Center in Des Moines and taught him by example that anyone can love sports. Aaron, in this case, fell in love with soccer, something that was also fueled by his father, Jerry, the legendary administrator for the Iowa Soccer Association. His hereditary legend-status is not without much toil. After earning a spot with the Drake Bulldogs in the early '90s, Leventhal concurrently trained with the Minnesota Thunder and Des Moines Menace, eventually turning professional in 1996. While having a successful career with the Thunder, Leventhal also put his college degree to use and pursued a career in health and fitness. He now owns his own gym in Minneapolis and in addition to working with NFL, NHL and US Olympic Ski Teamers, "Levy" had the opportunity to work with Minnesota United FC in their first years of Major League Soccer.
