When the Covid-19 pandemic was shuttering events and disconnecting people, Sebastian Acosta-Nijamkin turned to an old pasttime of his to keep players, parents and fellow coaches in the Delaware Union youth soccer club connected.
Acosta-Nijamkin, Operations and Development Director & Girls Director of Coaching at the club, along with Dwayne Henry, Rec Director of Coaching and others involved in the leadership of the Middletown-based club launched the DE Soccer Podcast, dropping their first episode titled “Dwayne Loves Free T-Shirts” on July 6, 2020.
“It definitely stemmed from the idea of being in quarantine and not being able to be around each other and these are conversations that we normally have on a given day, not as structured but definitely conversations we have on any given day at the soccer field before and after practice,” said Acosta-Nijamkin, who hosted a radio show throughout his time at Nova Southeastern University of Florida.
