Season 1 Episode 24  In this episode, I chat with Erick Lemus, assistant coach with the mens soccer program at the University of Illinois Springfield.  Erick grew up in California, but his soccer journey has taken him across the United States, including time in Hawaii!  And now in the midwest at UIS! Erick speaks about the power of connections with mentors, fellow coaches, and players.  He speaks about things he learned along his soccer journey and how those have helped to shape him into the coach he is today!  You will hear as we chat how much he has grown and matured as a coach and person.  The one constant?  Erick is always pursuing a dream of coaching at the college soccer level.  Where that opportunity may take him Erick does not know.  But, if it's the right time, the right fit, Erick will jump in with both feet! Erick is excited for his current opportunity at UIS and looks forward to helping grow and develop the program in Springfield, Illinois!
