About our Special Guest:Â
Ian Harkes
Ian Harkes is a professional midfielder for the San Jose Earthquakes whose career has taken him from an NCAA championship run at Wake Forest to a title-winning season in Scotland and back to MLS. In 2016, he won the MAC Hermann Trophy as the nation’s top men’s college player, along with ACC Midfielder of the Year and ACC Tournament MVP honors.
After beginning his professional career with D.C. United, Ian spent five seasons with Dundee United. He helped the club win the 2019–20 Scottish Championship and earn promotion to the top flight, then was named Dundee United’s Player of the Year for 2021–22. He now brings more than nine years of professional experience to the San Jose Earthquakes.
At this meetup, Ian will talk about preparing for the moments that matter—how players can build confidence, stay focused, and respond when the pressure rises and the opportunity is in front of them.
