🐉⚽⚪🔴 Before Fargo Horizon FC - Soccer Academy, there was MSUM.
Big shoutout to Minnesota State Moorhead for featuring our own co-founders, Tobias Bögel and Rachael Boegel, in their Dragon Stories series this week!
Tobias arrived at MSUM from Germany to compete in football and track and field while earning his degree in health and medical sciences. That's where he met Rachael, a fellow track and field Dragon — and together they built the foundation for everything that came next.
Rachael says it best: "The MSUM community taught us discipline, resilience, leadership, and the importance of investing in other people."
That's the culture we bring to Fargo Horizon FC every single day. ⚽ For us, youth soccer isn't just about wins and losses — it's about building confidence, resilience, and character in every athlete who steps on our field.
The lessons the Boegels learned as Dragons didn't stop at graduation. They became the blueprint for how we coach, mentor, and show up for our players and families here at Horizon FC.

From time management and resilience to investing in other people, the lessons we learn at Minnesota State Moorhead ripple outward after graduation.
For Tobias and Rachael Boegel, who met as students, the support and mentorship they experienced as Dragon student-athletes shaped how they now lead their businesses and serve their community. Through CrossFit Unitas and Fargo Horizon FC - Soccer Academy, they're helping people build healthier, stronger lives while creating the same culture of care they experienced at Moorhead.
