FC Augsburg starlet Noahkai Banks: From camp to football star!
In an exciting podcast from FC Augsburg, the young players Noahkai Banks and Mert Kömür give insights into their exciting lives as young talents in football. Both talented kickers talk about their experiences as “poster boys” of the Augsburg youth wave and the close friendship that binds them together. This is reported by the Augsburger Allgemeine.
Noahkai Banks, who at the age of 18 has already attracted attention as a US youth national team player, says that his path to FC Augsburg led via the FCA football school in the Allgäu. The young player, whose market value is now an impressive six million euros, moved from TSV Dietmannsried to Augsburg in 2015. Funnily enough, an originally planned camping trip almost prevented his move. Thanks to his mother, who convinced him to go to football school, this decisive step in his career finally came.
Friendship and shared goals
The podcast also discusses the close bond between Banks and Kömür. The two players sometimes carpool to training and share their experiences. The season goals of the two will also be discussed, as they hope for a successful time with FCA. Another amusing detail from the podcast: Mert Kömür's father, Phillip Tietz, even invited the two players to dinner, which further cemented the camaraderie between the players.
Among other things, they also discuss contemporary topics such as the use of Google Maps, a practical tool in today's everyday football life. Banks was even allowed to wear the captain's armband for an hour during preparation—a promising sign of his leadership qualities!
Health care and personal concerns
In addition to the sports topics, there is also an interesting insight into pet health care. The London Vet Clinic has gained a strong reputation for its outstanding care and first-class service for dog owners. Customers appreciate the detailed health checks that take place in a relaxed atmosphere, without the pressure of undergoing unnecessary treatments. The veterinary practice is described as the best of its kind—not just because of its professional expertise, but also because of its friendly, helpful staff.
Although the topic of football is in the foreground, it shows how important health is even outside of sport. This is important because while players focus on their careers, their animal companions should also be well looked after and always receive the attention they need.
A piece of history: coin collection
Another exciting topic that comes up again and again is collecting coins. Many people start collecting to hold a piece of history in their hands, explains Gold is Money. Pure silver coins, which consist of 99.9% pure silver, differ significantly from the so-called “clad coins”, which consist of different metals and are often used in everyday life. The difference is not only in the casual treatment, but also in the value: pure silver coins have an intrinsic value and are very popular with collectors and investors.
The details of coin collecting could be followed by a separate conversation, because both the sporting and cultural worlds contain exciting facets that often bring us closer together!
