Throughout the summer, DartmouthSports.com will be focusing on members of the Class of 2025 who are currently in their "Sophomore Summers" presented by the Norwich Inn.
This installment focuses on Ejike of the football program.
DartmouthSports.com: What have you been doing during your sophomore summer?
Ejike Adele: During my sophomore summer, I have been on campus training in the mornings with our team while taking classes. Outside of football and class, I am also working in a research laboratory at Geisel.
DS: What was it in the recruiting process that sold you on Dartmouth?
EA: What really sold me on Dartmouth was the relationships I built with the coaches during the recruiting process. I appreciated how honest and genuine they were, which really helped me envision myself playing for them. I could feel that Dartmouth had a true sense of community that I didn't quite get from other schools.
DS: If you could play another sport at Dartmouth, what would it be and why?
EA: If I could play another sport at Dartmouth, it would probably be soccer. For most of my life, I grew up playing soccer and it was huge in our household because my parents are immigrants. I'm glad I moved on to football, but I still love watching soccer to this day.
DS: How is Hanover different or similar to where you grew up?
EA: I would describe Hanover as very different from Atlanta, which is where I grew up. Aside from the huge difference in climate, I've also seen the differences in Southern and Northern culture in terms of the food and the people as well. Hanover is also much smaller and far more rural, but I do appreciate how quiet and peaceful it can be.
DS: If there was one movie that you could watch again for the first time, what movie would it be and why?
EA: If there was one movie I could watch again for the first time, it would be Seven. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen and I think it has an incredible ending.
DS: What is your hidden talent?
EA: I would say my hidden talent is probably playing the piano. I started at a young age and played for a total of about thirteen years. It was a big part of my childhood aside from sports.
DS: What are your plans for your upcoming off-term?
EA: This upcoming winter, I plan on spending time at home and participating in clinical research at Emory University. I'm also planning on volunteering my time to coach youth sports in my local community.
DS: What would be your best advice to your 15-year old self?
EA: My best advice to my 15-year-old self would be to focus on learning from my mistakes instead of trying to avoid them. I would also encourage my younger self to lean more on my family, friends and other people who have my best interests at heart.
