Capelli Sport Spotlight Series: Nathan Dingfield

This season, we teamed up with Capelli Sport to help highlight the inspiring stories of Inspire Soccer League athletes. Through the Capelli Spotlight Series, we are sharing the journeys of players whose passion, perseverance, and love for the game define what Inspire is all about.

Our first episode features Nathan Dingfield of Spokane Impact.

Nathan came to the United States from India at just six years old. Like many young athletes, his relationship with the game evolved over time, and at one point, he stepped away from soccer altogether. The dream, however, never fully left him.

With the emergence of the Inspire Soccer League, Nathan found his way back to the pitch. Inspire gave him the opportunity to continue pursuing the game he loves and to reimagine what was possible. Today, Nathan hopes to one day play professionally, carrying forward a dream that once felt out of reach.

On the field, Nathan is a key player for Spokane Impact. He has made his mark by scoring several goals throughout the season, but his impact goes far beyond the stat sheet. His leadership, commitment, and character embody the true spirit of the Inspire Soccer League. He leads by example, uplifting his teammates and representing the values the league was built upon.

Nathan’s story is a powerful reminder that dreams do not disappear. Sometimes, they simply wait for the right opportunity. His journey encourages us all to keep believing, to say yes when doors open, and to never stop chasing what inspires us.

This is just the beginning of the Capelli Spotlight Series. We look forward to sharing more stories from throughout the season that celebrate the athletes who make the Inspire Soccer League so special.
