From the Pitch to the Classroom: A Transatlantic Soccer Journey

In the season 2 premiere of LTU Perspectives, we sit down with two standout players from Lawrence Technological University's Men's Varsity Soccer Team: Cavan Burpee, a homegrown talent from the United States, and Nick Keuler, an international student-athlete hailing from Germany.
Join us as Cavan and Nick share their unique soccer journeys that brought them to LTU, from their early days on the pitch to the challenges and triumphs of competing at the collegiate level. They discuss the biggest adjustments they've faced, both on and off the field, and how they've adapted to the demands of balancing academics and athletics.
The conversation also takes an exciting turn as Nick offers a glimpse into the cultural differences between Germany and the U.S., from soccer styles to everyday life, while Cavan provides an American perspective on welcoming international teammates. Together, they reflect on the camaraderie of the team, the lessons they've learned through soccer, and how their experiences at LTU are shaping their futures.
Whether you're a soccer fan, a current or prospective student, or just curious about the intersection of sports and culture, this episode offers an inspiring and insightful look at the global connections forged through the beautiful game.
Tune in to LTU Perspectives and discover how Cavan and Nick are making their mark—both on the field and in the classroom—at Lawrence Tech.
