Dealing with the Referee:
Many athletes get upset with the way the game is called. No matter what happens, you must stay calm. Yelling or arguing with the referee, only causes more trouble. Yellow cards can be awarded, along with favoritism towards the other team. It is best if you just keep playing and if it continues talk to your coach or speaking captain about it.
College Decisions:
For all the soccer players that want to play college soccer, this is a checklist that will help you decide where you would best fit in. College soccer is very competitive, you have to be good at soccer, and also maintain a good GPA. Ask yourself the following questions when deciding where you would like to apply to...
- Do I want to play Division 1, 2, or 3?
- Do I want to go to a local college or somewhere farther away?
- What do I want to be when I grow up?
- How many years would I have to go to school?
- Do I want to go to a big or small school?
- Am I ready to play soccer in college?
After you answer the questions above, you can look at college possibilities. I hope this post helps! If you have any questions please comment below.
Swimming Helps with Cardio:
Up until this point in my life, I have never really done any other sport than soccer. I decided I would try swimming. It looks easy at first, but it's not! Swimming has really helped me improve my fitness level. Soccer is all about fitness! Just an hour in the pool a week, can help you improve your game, and also give you something to do instead of straight running.
