Day in the Life of Kyle Knotek Ep. 21. Kyle Knotek is a 31 year old midfielder going into his 10th year as a professional, and currently playing for FC ŠTK Šamorín in the 2nd league in Slovakia. He started his journey to becoming a pro by playing college soccer at NIU for 4 years. This is when he ran into one of his first obstacles to becoming a pro, and what has led to his determination and drive. The coach had him playing left back because he didn’t think he was good enough to play center midfielder. He actually was coming off the bench as the captain of the team. After that year, he went to a USL combine, and after not getting picked up, a Japanese GM invited him to play in the second league in Japan. That was quite an experience for him as no one spoke English and he actually had to leave due to the Tsunami. After his stint there; he signed in the USL with the Dayton Dutch Lions. After that season he spent one year in Finland. After his year in Finland, he spent 3 years in Sweden and helped his team get promoted. After 3 good seasons in Sweden, he caught the eye of a team in Slovakia, and that’s where he is now. I really encourage you guys to sit down and really listen to this episode here. I truly learned a lot, and he is one of the best dudes I have met so far in the game. If you would like to contact him, reach him on Instagram & Twitter @Kyle_Knotek, as well as on Facebook @Kyle_Knotek. Enjoy & happy listening!
