Kennyone AlphaKennyone was born in the Maldives. His name is of traditional Maldivian heritage given to him by his grandparents. He grew up playing soccer. He was average at best compared to his peers but enjoyed the sport. He left the Maldives to go to university in the United States planning on becoming a rocket scientist. While there, he saw an open tryout the university football team and thought it would be fun to play soccer again. Imagine his surprise when it was actually for American football. He decided since he already committed to the event, he might as well stick it out and try his best. Despite never having played the sport and learning on the spot, he was granted a walk on spot to the team. He ended up starting all 4 years for his college team as a wide receiver. It was around this time he paused his dream of becoming a rocket scientist.
After university, he was drafted into the minor leagues in the 7th round. No one expected much – himself included. After a year in the minors he showed tremendous promise and was drafted in the 1st round, 10th overall into the major leagues. In his first offseason he traveled back home to the Maldives to relax and hang out in his bungalow. He was talking to his agent about doing an interview for Better Homes and Gardens about his love for bonsai and lamenting about how bonsai is such an expensive hobby. His agent mentioned that professional soccer players get paid significantly more than American football players. Hearing that AlphaKennyone immediately became committed to being a multi-sport athlete. He needed more money to fund his bonsai addiction and what better way than getting another job.
AlphaKennyone registered for the SSL later that day. The following day, he was notified that he would need to change his name to be eligible to play. He was disappointed he would have to throw away his traditional Maldivian name given to him by his grandparents to achieve his goal but sacrifices had to be made. After completing the process to legally change his name – now Owen Goal, he finished his registration for the SSL.
