At Piedmont High School in Oklahoma City, senior midfielder Adan Fields has emerged as a linchpin of the school’s soccer program, blending technical skill with a work ethic that coaches describe as relentless.
Local Flavors, Global Dreams
Off the pitch, his culinary preferences are as distinctive as his footwork; he swears by a simple yet indulgent "Bag of burgers" from Braum’s, a beloved Oklahoma fast‑food chain that has become a ritual before big games.
Before stepping onto the field, he queues up "Mess Is Mine" by Vance Joy, a track whose upbeat rhythm he says sharpens his focus and fuels the intensity he needs to dominate the midfield.
Beyond the Game
While many young athletes chase professional contracts, Fields’ aspirations extend to financial independence; he often repeats that his ultimate career goal is "something that gets me rich," a phrase that captures his desire to build wealth and security.
A large part of that vision involves learning from those who have already paved the way; he points to Eli Berry, a former Deer Creek standout now competing at North Carolina‑Asheville, as the benchmark of athletic excellence he strives to match.
Berry’s reputation as the best athlete Fields has ever faced adds a personal stake to his preparation, driving him to refine his technique and leadership on the field.
Ultimately, Fields sees his legacy as more than personal achievement; he wants to leave a foundation for younger players in the community, proving that dedication, local pride, and a clear purpose can shape a lasting impact on the sport.
