About this episode
Tim Van Horn chats with North Carolina FC defender Akeem Ward, this week's featured guest. He holds the distinction of being our third guest who played at Creighton University (listen to Richard Mulrooney & Ross Paule).
Ward is looking to make his mark in the USL Championship as a fullback. After stints with DC United, Loudon United, and Birmingham Legion in 2019, Akeem is happy to be settling in with the club . Known for his speed and his range up and down the pitch, he is looking to help Head Coach Dave Sarachan in what looks to be a toss up for Group G.
Akeem Ward talks about how the club navigated the league-wide shutdown (due to coronavirus), and how he believes the time off has made him an even better player. He is not slow to praise team leadership and unity during those extraordinary times. Tim got a surprising answer when he asked Akeem whether he did anything different or new while the shutdown took place.
Ward also talks about Group G and his next match against Memphis 901 FC. Thank you to North Carolina FC defender Akeem Ward for being this week's featured guest.
