21. It cost me $64 to drop out of school with Nelson Tabarez

John Rudnicki Season 3

Hi everyone!

For this week, I have long-time friend and former soccer teammate Nelson Tabarez on the podcast. Previously, a collegiate soccer player at Concordia University of Irvine and former D1 State Champion for San Clemente High School, Nelson is a direct product of the world of sports and top soccer.

For this episode, we dive through his life up until college, looking into his eventual decision to drop out of collegiate soccer. Here are some of the key takeaways: 

- Losing senior high school season due to COVID
- Rushed and stressful college recruitment process 
- The ups and downs of collegiate soccer
- Dropping out of the team at CUI & making that BIG decision
- Moving to Arizona to attend the University of Arizona
- Trusting yourself and only listening to the opinions from those close to you
- Muhammad Ali quote
