No Stress Midwest Podcast Season 7 E8: Zarek Valentin

January 25, 2025 • No Stress Midwest • Season 7 • Episode 8

Season 7 of The No Stress Midwest Podcast is sadly coming to a close with one episode left before the finale. Our guest this week is Zarek Valentin of Minnesota United FC. In this episode we cover what it was like for Zarek playing in college and winning an NCAA Championship with Akron. What that decision to go pro was like, that first contract, and how he was able to sign the dotted line for a second time! We also discuss his playing time over in Norway and what the culture was like compared to the US. Zarek has since retired as a player for MNUFC but is moving into a new role with the club. This is a fun episode to listen to and one you won’t wanna miss!
