Thank you guys so much for coming back onto the podcast! This episode was a cracker and I had one of my best friends on, Daniel Johnson.  DJ played with me when I was 10-12 Years Old and we have been friends ever since. DJ went on to play at West Ham for 3 years. Was on track for a Pro contract with the mighty hammers, but due to work permit and visa issues he was left out of contract.  He returned to the US and went to college at University of Maryland. After a disappointing, by his standards, he decided that he needed to make a change and get more playing time! He decided to transfer to University of Louisville. This turned out to be an amazing choice and he was given the opportunity to attend the MLS Combine.   At the combine scouts and coaches raved about his nearly FLAWLESS performances and he was drafted by the Chicago Fire with the number 11 overall pick in 2017. It was a difficult road, starting with great promise, but quickly understanding that there was a lot more that goes into this game than just talent alone he decided to make a move.  DJ made a transfer to Championship side Birmingham Legion in 2019 and began to find his form again. However, as I have said on this podcast, there is more to life than just soccer. You must be able to know yourself and the things you find important in life. DJ hung up the boots, at least for now, in 2020.   In the podcast we discuss the importance of developing skills that not only help your game, but more importantly improve and enrich your life  DJ is not a man of many projects from fashion to video analysis, my boy does it all!
