Adam Engelbrecht

The beautiful game is the best thing to happen to freshman Adam Engelbrecht. Soccer has taken the 5’11” freshman athlete all around the world. His club team, Iowa City Alliance, recently travelled to Denmark and Sweden to attend Danish professional soccer team FC Nordsjælland’s camp.

Engelbrecht has been playing soccer for nine years and is currently working on his strength to improve his physicality for the school season. He hopes to earn a spot on City’s varsity squad this coming spring.

“[I’m] going to the gym, I’m doing strength training with [P.E. teacher Cory] Connell right now and that’s going pretty good,” Engelbrecht said of what he’s doing in the offseason to prepare for the school soccer season in the spring.

Engelbrecht says he wants to eventually play soccer at the collegiate level.
