Former NEBPreps standout and Nebraska Wesleyan University soccer player Averie Hike shares a story that goes far beyond the field. During her sophomore year of high school, a concussion changed everything — leading to two years filled with uncertainty, setbacks, and unanswered questions.
In this Wired Axcess episode, Averie opens up about navigating the unknown, leaning on faith, and trusting that everything happens for a reason. Despite limited options when it came time for college decisions, a prior relationship with a college coach and belief in herself led her to the right place.
Now finishing her third collegiate season, Averie’s dedication has paid off — earning two All-Conference Honorable Mentions and recently becoming a All-Conference A-R-C athlete. As she prepares for her senior year, she reflects on sacrifice, perseverance, and how her journey fuels her passion to become an elementary teacher and future coach.
This is a powerful reminder that it’s more than just a game — it’s about growth, resilience, and purpose.
