While the term legend can imply age, it more so implies experience, and that's where Elvir Ibisevic enters the picture. State cup championships and high school honors were only the beginning as Ibisevic left home to train with the U.S. U17 National Team Program in Bradenton, FL. This led to a flurry of soccer adventures and ultimately, stoked his fire to pursue it as a career. Initially playing for University of Nebraska-Omaha and the Des Moines Menace, his efforts landed him a call up and cap with the full Bosnian National Team, Ibisevic signed for NK Celje in the Slovenian first division and then for BSG Chemie Leipzig in Germany. Now, back in the states and playing for Union Omaha of the USL League One, he's ready to make a name for himself. We discuss the challenges of leaving home and what its like to do something you love professionally, plus his dream to someday win the Golden Boot at the KIF Winter Reunion Tournament.
