BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Juha Miettinen arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1987 from Finland by way of Winston-Salem, N.C.  Four years later, he not only graduated, but left a legacy that included All-America honors, a Big South player of the year award, and victories over the likes of North Carolina, Duke and Penn State.
 
He went on to serve as an assistant coach at his alma mater – helping the team win two Big South titles – and to play professional indoor soccer.
 
Along the way, Juha and his wife Whitney – who met at CU – raised a family and settled in her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.
 
He is a member of the Campbell Athletics and Big South Conference Halls of Fame.
 
In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Juha Miettinen talks with Stan Cole about growing up in Finland, his path to Campbell, his career, journey and more.
