E12: Nikkye DePoint—U.S Youth National Team, Lessons Learned from D1 College Experience, Becoming a Pro & More

Hi ladies and gents, welcome to episode 12 of The Deu Awuok Show, where it is my job to interview professional and collegiate soccer players about their life journeys around the beautiful game. In this episode, I speak with Nikkye DePoint, a former professional and U.S. Youth National team player. Among other things, we talk about his experience with the U.S Youth National team and getting to play alongside the likes of Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, and Weston Mckennie; his mistakes and lessons learned while playing D1 soccer; and achieving his dream of being a professional soccer player. Nikkye shared some very personal and powerful stories that will hopefully help others navigate their journeys. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed this conversation!
