    AGAINST ALL ODDS:
    Matt Sheldon from Become Elite and Mimi Dugger from Mimi Estelle have been working separately on their businesses for years. With this podcast, they have found a way to come together and work towards a common goal. Against All Odds will be a casual conversation about soccer, design, relationships, careers, and anything else that you would like to hear. For those of you just jumping on board, here’s a quick summary of how they got to this point: Mimi and Matt began dating in college, Matt started Become Elite, Mimi helped get his business off the ground, and soon after, she created a platform of her own, Mimi Estelle. Every day Matt continues to spread soccer knowledge and share his life as a professional footballer, while Mimi continues to spread her love for Interior Design and all things creative.
    CURRENT LOCATION: Tulsa, Oklahoma

    This was such an insightful and inspiring episode, honestly my favourite one so far. Really interesting to get a look into something that isn't very easy to find information on and gain an understanding about players coming out of college trying to go pro.

    I did a study abroad program in Madrid my sophomore year of college and loved it. I was studying in the morning at night I would train with a lower division team. I recommend it if your a college soccer player (I’m ncaa d3) and went abroad in the spring. I made so many connections and am planning to go back hopefully! And Matt, Richmond ain’t that bad lol I’m from Northen Va lol

    I have been subscribed to you since the Germany days back when I had just started playing Football for fun and wanted to improve my skills and learn drills to improve technique. I had just started University then and now I'm about to graduate and have a job in a law firm and more than all the techniques, you have evolved with me and have become something of a life coach and an inspiration to keep grinding, working hard and being true to yourself. You're a crazy huge inspiration to me bro!
    Oh I'm still very much in touch with sports and want to keep it going in this next new phase of my life. Thanks for everything

    Things I learned from this podcast
    -do not rely on one team to accept you
    How hard it is to deal with playing soccer on a visitors visa
    -how one small connection that would be considered not effective could lead to bigger things
    -Always go for more than one tryout, go to it, and if. A better offer comes on right when you get done one do not comit fully
    -Not all clubs and and teams can financially support you coming on.
    -not all teams have hugh qaulity enviroments

    How old where you then? I am 19 I played in the 6th division in Spain we finished second, so would be promotion to the fifth division. I have an opportunity at Elon university to play there starting in the spring and maybe as a practice player in the fall. What advice would you have for me? I have connections in Spain and England. I have a EU passport as well as an American. Should I try in college or continue to try and play in Europe?

    • @rq7284

      Imo, if you really want to play pro 5th division is better. You can always go to school later for an education, but you will never be 19 in Europe again.

      I'm not matt but I'll try to answer for you to have some ideas. If can send video of your highlights playing, then send it to your brother's contacts if someone would be interested even if your a minor then it would be great, if not then go for college first and play, and record your highlights and send it again back to the contacts. Hopefully I did help.

    Matt i am a fucking 17 year old kid so i play in a amateur League in Greece ,but the team that has to sign me has to pay an big price and Also they can sign only 3 foreigners , its hilarious I leave he re for 17 years but i am just not greek and every team that i try out say toy know you are good i want you, you are killing it and stuff and no team make me a contract , and to be honest the government makes it so hard tha if i was a coach i couldnt and i wouldn't sign me because of the difficulty ,i really think its crazy , and Also i think its a bit racist , Just because my family its not from here i literally can't easily play in any team , i go in the preseason and i do really really well i am 16 year old playing with a mens team and i can't get a contract to be able to play cause of the law ,it is so fucking frustrating
