(See previous LouCity Q&As with striker Chandler Hoffman, midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye and forward Kenny Doublette.)
What’s your favorite thing to do off the field?
Watch T.V and movies.
Do you have a favorite T.V. show?
Friends.
What do you usually do to prepare for a game?
I have a whole day routine. I take a nap. I do some mental preparation. I eat the same food every game day and try to stay on track.
Do you have any good luck charms or rituals?
I always have coins in my shoes when I play and I have to tie my right boot last.
How do you approach training or know when you’ve had a good day at training?
The normal stuff. If I got a high accuracy, long-balls, if I got a chance to score a goal or not.
How’d you end up in Louisville?
I have an agent. He’s from Dallas, Texas and he knew James. It was pretty cool. James brought me in and we signed a deal three weeks later.
Do you have a favorite soccer memory?
I won a cup one time in Israel.
If you had to play another position, which would it be and why?
Striker — for the glory.
If you weren’t a pro soccer player, what do you think you’d be doing?
Maybe I would be a tennis player. I’m not that good, but I would train more so I’d probably be decent.
Do you have a game day playlist?
No, usually I listen to Tomorrowland. It’s a big festival in Belgium and Europe and it just started in Brazi. So I hear an hour and a half of that.
If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be?
David Beckham.
Do you prefer to cook for others or have others cook for you?
Have others cook for me.
Where is some place that you’d like to travel?
Colombia.
What are you hoping to do this offseason?
Go to Colombia. (smiles)
Do you have a favorite sport other than soccer?
Basketball.
What’s one thing on your bucket list?
Open a business — something to do with real estate.
Do you have a favorite film?
Pursuit of Happyness.
Do you have a favorite book?
I’m not a big reader, but Tarzan. I haven’t read the newer one, but the translation is not all word-to-word.
What’s something that you completely geek out over?
Do you want me to say Pokemon? That’s the hot thing right now.
What’s something your teammates don’t know about you?
I figure if they don’t know something about me, it’s better if I keep it a secret.
