In today’s episode, I interview Danish footballer Nadia Nadim. Nadia is genuinely one of the most happiest person I know. She’s also one of the most confident, unafraid to speak her mind.
Nadia was born in Afghanistan, during the war. At 11 year’s old, Nadia’s dad, a general in the army, was killed by the Taliban. Nadia’s mom knew there was no future for her children in Afghanistan. One night, her family snuck out in the dark, and fled the country. After being smuggled in the back of delivery truck, Nadia and her family ended up in Denmark at a refugee center. Boys at the refuge center introduced Nadia to soccer, and her career has taken off since.
In our interview, Nadia talks about:
-her family’s detailed escape from the Taliban
-her plans on becoming rich and famous
-balancing medical school and professional soccer
-how Nadia uses getting “pissed off” to her advantage on the field
-the two things that Nadia doesn’t think she’s good at life (she claims to be good at everything else)
-the belief system behind why Nadia knows she can do anything she sets her mind to..
