My biggest fear in life is to be mediocre.

I define mediocre as "not learning something new or progressing even just 1% every day."

I'm fascinated by how humans can perceive the same thing differently. 

This curiosity led me to pursue a degree in the United States on a soccer and athletic scholarship at a university in Tennessee.

Seven years later, I find myself living and working in Connecticut, almost running out of time to secure a job due to VISA expiration.

Despite the challenges, I'm dedicated to supporting young professionals and recent graduates in optimizing their early career journeys. 

I share my insights as a young professional through this platform, helping others improve their networking skills and build valuable connections.

This trip reminded me why we do what we do:

The continuous support we provide to our athletes, even after enrollment.

It was such a proud moment watching our athletes compete against each other and seeing how far they’ve come, how much they’ve grown, and the strong community we’re building together at Ludius Student-Athletes.

Moments like these remind us that our work goes far beyond recruitment.

It’s about building genuine connections and helping student-athletes grow, both on and off the field.

🎯 Stories like this remind us why we do what we do.

Saturday, October 25th, was a special day for Ludius Student-Athletes as our founder, Andreas Xenofontos, visited Cornell College to watch a conference matchup between the Cornell Rams and the Monmouth Scots, featuring not one but two of our own!

🏝️ From ASIL Lysis academy in Larnaca, Cyprus… to facing off in the U.S. college soccer scene, Kyriacos Photiou and Aimilios Ioannou made history as the first Ludius Student-Athletes to compete against each other.

At LSA, we don’t just connect talent with opportunity. We stand by our athletes #throughout their academic and athletic journeys. This visit is a testament to that ongoing commitment.

A big thank you to the Cornell College Rams Athletics coaching staff and athletic department for the warm welcome and hospitality throughout the visit.
