About Athlete
My name is Karolis Dovydas Zukauskas. I am from Lithuania, but I have lived and studied in Iceland for four years. I also play soccer in Iceland for a team called Vikingur, which I believe has the best youth development in Iceland. When I was seven I started playing soccer in my hometown, Jonava, Lithuania’s ninth-biggest city. I moved to Iceland when I was fourteen, currently, I live in Iceland with my parents who are my biggest supporters to me. I am a passionate and hard-working guy with ambitions and goals to reach. This is why I think education in the USA would let me do that faster. As a player, in general, I have very good work ethic skills, I respect coaches and all the teammates around me I have no problem adapting to new places or meeting new faces, I am athletic and not scared to show leadership when needed.
