About Nima
Nima started soccer at the tender age
of 5, joining the Unionville-Milliken soccer club - house league. He
immediately became a top scorer, making him a valuable asset to the
team. After the season, he was heavily recruited by the other coaches
to join their teams for the following season. At the age of 12, he was
hand-picked by the club's head coach to play for the select team.
There, Nima enjoyed immediate success as the team's left mid-fielder.
Shortly after the season ended, Nima and his family moved to Phoenix,
Arizona. There, he searched for a team to join, but was picked up by an
up-and-coming West Valley team. With poor team management, the team
eventually dissolved and Nima was in need of a new team. Luckily, the
team's coach informed Nima of a soccer club that could thrive with his
growing potential. Nima immediately joined Sereno's 90 Blue team, which
is two years above his age level, but the team was in desperate need of
a player. He ended the season with the 90 Blues and then the 91 Whites
needed an extra player to take to a US Club Regionals in Las Vegas. At
Regionals, Nima showed his colors by scoring 2 goals and 3 assists and
showing off his phenomenal speed. After Las Vegas, news of Nima's birth
date surfaced. Nima was playing above his age level, and he was
directed to the 92 White team. Nima enjoyed much success with the 92
White, scoring many goals and many assists. Leading the team count with
assists, Nima proved to be an unselfish player with playmaking
abilities on the field. Off the field, Nima's congeniality can be seen
when he is with his teammates preparing for training or after games,
making him a well-liked player with the Sereno family.
In the 2005-2006 State Cup season, The 92 Whites successfully defended
their State Cup title and were on the road to Regionals in Boise,
Idaho. At Regionals, the 92 Whites were able to make it to the final
game where, unfortunately, they were not able to win.
To start the 2006-2007 season, Nima made the decision to leave Sereno
and find a new club; he joined the SC Del Sol '91 Extreme White. Nima
joined the team during a re-building season, and at State Cup, he
helped his team achieve a higher rank than previous years; they
finished 3 rd . After State Cup, the 91s went through a coaching
change. The team went underway with the next season en route to the
2008-2009 State Cup.
Currently, Nima is in his 1st year with Tenhults IF under
the direction of well-know coach, Gudmundur Magnusson and also in his
1st year educations with Jönköping University in
Sweden.
Nima's family consists of his parents, and two sisters. Nima is a
joker with a great sense of humor. His compassionate nature allows him
to be optimistic all the time and a true-believer in
faith.
