The Full 90' Podcast
Kyle McLagan
Climbing the Ranks with Bobby Edet
Episode Notes
Bobby joins the Full 90' to talk about his journey through football!
Bobby grew up in the FC Dallas Academy, playing with some of the top youth talents across the country at that time (ie. Weston Mckinnie, Kellyn Acosta) before looking towards College footy. As a player in a top academy, Bobby had several options for schools but eventually settled on Furman University.
Bobby enjoyed great success his first 2 seasons in college, then we discuss his feelings about not being at his best the 2nd half of his college career. He felt a changed player and a shadow of the player he once was or knew himself to be.
After college, Bobby believed the pro opportunities would come to him, but that turned out to not be the case. He eventually moved back home, joined NPSL team, and began working a job; all while still holding on to the dream of playing professionally. After several years of working and playing in Dallas, Bobby took a leap of faith and flew to Germany. Leaving his job and his family, Bobby was determined to make it in the football world.
Bobby has a great story of perseverance but he shares some of his regrets and advice for other players. Don't wait for it to come to you, work for it.
I really enjoyed this episode with Bobby, I hope you guys do too!
