#7: Dani Marks | Soccer Player, Student - Athlete

The captain of the Penn State men’s varsity soccer team for three years, Dani Marks is a role model in our community, highly regarded by both his peers and teammates. When I mentioned to a few of my friends that we would be chatting, I was met with nothing but overwhelmingly positive comments. (pause) In our short one hour conversation, Dani struck me as one of the most articulate and well spoken people I’ve ever met, and had insights much deeper than most people our age. 

We talked about his multicultural upbringing, passion for soccer, experiences in the Israeli Defence Force, and making the transition from student-athlete to the professional world. This was definitely one of my more special conversations!
