Being the best leader on the field isn’t new for Andover soccer player Nick Workman.
The senior has been playing soccer for 15 years of his life and has been a key part of Andover soccer throughout his last four years and now as a captain, he is ready to do even more.
“Nick is a workhorse who plays an aggressive game,” head coach Kevin Law said. “He wins 50/50 balls and looks to connect with his teammates. He is a good leader who is always looking for ways to help and get better.”
Workman has been focused on leaving the program better than when he first started playing his freshman year.
“I want to be named to the all-league team and the all-state team at the end of the year,” Workman said. “For the team, I would want to win the league and hopefully make it as far as possible in the postseason. I also would like for us to host a playoff game.”
Workman is a guy who has always put the work in, but hasn’t always gotten praised for it.
“I’ve never been the flashiest player on the field,” Workman said. “So what makes me special on the field is my game IQ. I’ve always been told that I have a mind for this game and that I’ve seen things that other players don’t.”
