What inspired you to start playing sports, and who had the biggest influence on you?

Everyone in my family is very athletic, but my biggest inspiration was my dad. As soon as I learned to walk, the first thing he did was introduce me to football. I joined my first club when I was four years old.

How supportive was your family of your decision to study and play sports abroad?

They supported me completely. They always say, “If you’re happy, then I’m happy too.”

How did Study N Sport help you?

Study N Sport helped me tremendously. They created my highlight video and stayed in constant contact with universities throughout the process. I owe my opportunity to study in the U.S. to them.

How are the training sessions in the U.S. different from those in Hungary?

Training sessions in the U.S. are much more intense and better structured than in Hungary. Each practice is divided into different segments, making the sessions more organized and efficient.

How easy or difficult was it to settle in? How did you manage with the language?

I didn’t speak any English when I first arrived, but everyone was incredibly supportive and helpful. I picked up the language quickly because I had to use it every single day.

How does the food in the U.S. differ from what you’re used to in Hungary?

The food is very different. In Hungary, the lifestyle is much healthier and fresh ingredients are much easier to find. In the U.S., it’s more difficult to find fresh, high-quality food.

What does your daily life look like now?

I’m currently working at Teqball while also competing professionally. My goal is to continue playing football at the highest level.

What has been your greatest achievement in football so far? What are you most proud of?

My proudest achievement is finishing third at the Nationals, as well as receiving the All-American Award.

What do you like most about America? Do you think there’s such a thing as the “American lifestyle,” and if so, how is it different from life in Hungary?

What I like most about America is the financial opportunity. There are far more job opportunities and significantly better salaries across almost every profession. To me, the American lifestyle is the feeling of freedom—the belief that you can become whoever you want to be. I also love the people in America because they’re incredibly kind and always willing to help, no matter the situation.

What do you think about the American education system? What does it do better—or differently—than the Hungarian system?

In my opinion, the American education system is weaker academically. It’s not as rigorous or structured as the Hungarian system, and there’s less emphasis on specialized knowledge. However, it does a much better job of preparing students for real life, with more interactive classes and practical learning.

What are your future goals, both in sports and beyond (in the U.S. and afterward)?

My goal is to stay in the United States and start a family with my current partner. I also want to continue playing football professionally. In the future, I’d love to open my own gym combined with a massage therapy practice.
