The DMV (Washington, DC | Maryland | Virginia) Business Show

In this week's episode we have Brendan Hines-Ike professional soccer star player who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club D.C. United. He was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado a suburb outside of Denver. He grew up with a soccer ball at his feet and remembers starting to juggle the ball at 4-5 years old. Soccer ran in the family, he looked up to his older brother who was one of the best soccer players in the nation and always the best player in Colorado in his age group and his younger sister was a star soccer player too. Brendan was constantly doing tournaments, games, and practices. At 10 years old he would wake up at 6 am and go running before school, would go to school, then training, then team practice, and before bed would try to get in some more juggling. It taught him at an early age about discipline and what it takes, and thanks his dad for instilling these habits. Went to college and was always driven, would go to bed by 8:30 pm and would remember his girlfriend now wife wanted to go to a party he would go to bed and wake up later to pick her up from the party and go back to bed - you only get out what you put in! From College he went to Sweden to start in the first division and gained a lot of professional experience for three seasons. After Sweden he went to a Belgium club and was there for for three and half years until he returned back home to America to play for the M.L.S. club D.C. United as a starting defender.
