Nadin Samnang: Player of the Year
October, 2010
A well-regarded real estate agent, Nadin Samnang is also a dedicated athlete who has enjoyed great success as a soccer player. In recognition of his impressive contributions to the sport, Nadin Samnang was named Player of the Year by the National Capital Soccer League. Moreover, as a top national player, Nadin Samnang was chosen to play on the Olympic Development Team. The National Capital Soccer League is the regional league for soccer-playing youth based in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia area. Affiliated with various other soccer associations, including the Major League Soccer Club, US Youth Soccer, and others, the league was founded in 1965. Like most youth soccer leagues, the organization’s system is divided by age and gender. Teams play each other in the league and may be promoted accordingly in order to play against teams in other, higher-ranked leagues. For example, the top-performing boys’ teams may play in the Regionals 1-League or The USL Super Y-League. Fostering fun, healthy competition, and athleticism, the National Capital Soccer League is an important part of the local community. The Olympic Development Team is a component of the US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program. Begun in 1977, the group attempts to identify players throughout the nation with the most athletic talent and potential. Its goal is to increase successful performance among U.S. teams competing on the international level. The players chosen for the team receive rigorous and advanced training, as well as personal coaching from carefully selected and highly qualified coaches. Players are selected in open tryouts, which are conducted by state associations. Some of the associations utilize scouting techniques to identify high-potential players and invite them to participate in tryouts. During tryouts, players are evaluated for technique, tactics, fitness, and athletic ability. Selection to the team is considered an honor. It reflects recognition not only of a player’s talent, but also a genuine commitment to the sport, athletic accomplishment, and self-discipline.

Fitness and Athletics
November, 2010
by Nadin Samnang
As a longtime fitness trainer and soccer enthusiast, I have been involved in sports for as long as I can remember. I have a passion for American football and excelled as a defensive back; I ran a 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds at a combine. Some of my most memorable athletic competitions took place in the 1990s, when I practiced and competed in junior mixed martial arts in Japan. One-on-one combat is utterly exhilarating and extremely dangerous at the same time. Currently, many of my activities involve teaching clients how to minimize harm to their bodies. Looking back at my accomplishments, including becoming the Junior Vale Tudo Champion in 1996, I can’t help but be amazed at how little I feared personal injury. Originating in Brazilian circuses’ fighting sideshows in the 1920s, vale tudo means “anything goes” or “no rules” in Portuguese. Vale tudo gained widespread recognition on the 1959 Brazilian TV show Heroes of the Ring, which was cancelled after a year for being too authentic, as a fighter broke his arm in the ring. During the 1960s, vale tudo remained an underground subculture centered in Rio de Janeiro, with fights held in small gymnasiums or martial arts dojos. Fighting in Rio de Janeiro featured an intense rivalry between Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Luta Livre, a style of Brazilian wrestling. In 1993, famed vale tudo fighter Rorion Gracie founded the Ultimate Fighting Championship after he immigrated to the U.S. This led to an explosion of interest in mixed martial arts fighting, particularly in Japan, where Pride and K-1 developed. Brazil also gained two vale tudo promotional competitions, the World Vale Tudo Championship and the International Vale Tudo Championship in the 1990s. I have intense memories of my time in the ring competing in vale tudo and other forms of mixed martial arts. Although I wouldn’t recommend the sport to everyone, for someone who loves pure combat, there is no doubt that vale tudo is the ultimate discipline.
