In this episode, Don Williams and Chris Cousins sit down with Dan Nimick, former SRUSA client and now professional footballer, to talk about his remarkable journey through the U.S. college soccer system and beyond.



Dan shares how he first connected with Chris Cousins and the SRUSA team, how that relationship shaped his recruiting process, and his standout career at Western Michigan University, where he captained the Broncos and became one of the top players in the nation.



He then takes us through his transition to the pro game — being drafted by Toronto FC in the MLS SuperDraft, and how the U.S. college pathway prepared him for life as a professional athlete.



Dan also introduces his latest project, Ground Zero Soccer, a platform designed to help players develop their game both technically and mentally. Through Ground Zero, Dan and his team aim to give athletes practical, elite-level tools to elevate their performance and reach their full potential.



Throughout the episode, Dan offers genuine advice for players and parents about navigating college soccer — from recruiting tips to balancing academics, staying resilient, and maintaining the right mindset to succeed on and off the field.
