Episode 4 of Season 4 goes All Axcess with former #NEBPreps multi-sport athlete-turned-professional soccer player Diego Gutierrez, now with Union Omaha. ⚽🔥 From Ralston High School to Elite Soccer Club, then becoming a Homegrown talent with the UNO Mavericks before finishing at Creighton University after the COVID year, Diego’s journey has always been fueled by passion, perseverance, and pride in where he comes from. We dive deep into the mental side of athletics, the adversity Diego has overcome, and how those experiences shaped him both on and off the pitch. From being drafted by the MLS Portland Timbers to returning home and making an immediate impact for Union Omaha, Diego talks about why Omaha will always mean more than just a place on the map. Now playing under Head Coach Vincenzo Candela, another former professional player who understands the game and the grind, Diego explains how chemistry, belief, and connection are helping build something special within Union Omaha. And after scoring TWO goals in just 24 minutes during his debut as a substitute… Omaha already knows what kind of player Diego can be. 👀 PLUS — DJ K DuB Omaha will also be serving as the in-game DJ at select Union Omaha matches this season including this Sunday’s 4PM match at Morrison Stadium.
