Bet on Yourself with Lucas Stauffer
Episode description
In this episode, Luke Stauffer joins The Full 90' Podcast to talk about his journey through football.
After a successful college career at Creighton, Luke was drafted by the Vancouver Whitecaps. Unfortunately after several weeks of training, days before the start of the season, Luke was released with little to no warning.
After feeling dejected and drained, Luke was nearly ready to give up on the dream until a coach reached out to him about a USL Championship opportunity. Luke then finished the season there and turned his sites towards Europe.
With no return ticket, Luke set off to Europe in pursuit of a contract. Several countries and trials later, he was finally rewarded with a contract in the 4th tier of Germany!
Luke had a very successful stint in Germany before returning to the USL for the 2023 season!
I hope you enjoy this one as it is a great example of how perseverance and the right mindset can take you far!
