Player Spotlight - Q&A with Sydney Kahan

What's your academic major and how are you able to manage both soccer and your school work?

My academic major is nursing. It is definitely a challenge managing both soccer and nursing but it's all about time management and being able to say no when you're friends want to go out. It's hard but as long as you stay on track it's manageable.

Who is your favorite soccer player in the world?

Well as a goalkeeper, I'd have to say Tim Howard! I love him! But if I were to pick a field player it would definately have to be Lionel Messi.

Why did you choose to attend Wesley College?

I chose Wesley because I was looking for a small school towards the south that had both an excellent nursing department and a competitive D3 soccer program. I also stayed overnight with the soccer team before I made my decision which really helped me.

What's in your IPOD right now?.
Everything! I love all types of music, so you can find all sorts of stuff on it right now.

When and Why did you start playing soccer?

I started playing soccer when I was four years old and I think my parents just wanted me out of their hands for a while. But I fell in love with the sport and just kept playing.

What club team did you play for prior to attending Wesley?

I played for Fortuna Rhode Island.

What are your thoughts about England/Scotland Tour 2010?

I am so excited for the trip! I can't wait to not only play some soccer while I'm there but to also experience a professional game! I think what's really going to make the trip memorable is being able to go with the team. It's going to be a great bonding experience so it should be really fun!

What do you think about the New state of the art Wesley Soccer Team Room?

I love the team room! The coaches put a lot of effort into it and I know everyone on the team really appreciates it and we know how lucky we are to have it. It's so professional and really, really nice!
