Hi ladies and gents,

Welcome to episode 19 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 Alex Grattarola, a former player for both Wayland Baptist University and Canisius University.

Among other things, we talk about his experience growing up in Le Lavandou, France; his college recruiting process, winning the MAAC Defensive Player of the Year, and maximizing your opportunities to play at the professional level. I hope you enjoy the episode!
