Just heard a great quote: “ real success is how many people thank you for theirs”

PLAYERS: The playing time you want during your season is often earned by what you do in the off-season.

DM: Advice for incoming freshmen from a D1 player Communicate, communicate, communicate. I came in this fall pretty overwhelmed (which is NORMAL). But what I didn’t do, was take advantage of the resources and support system I had around me. I wasn’t playing as a freshman, which made me hesitant to ask questions, to ask for help. In my mind, I thought “well I don’t play so what does it matter”. Ask the questions. Ask for more training. Ask for feedback. Ask to do heavier lifts. You’re not a burden- especially if you aren’t playing! You HAVE to do the extra work on your own, no exceptions. Come in fit. Get stronger. Be excellent on the ball. Hold yourself accountable and to a standard- much higher than you think. Take care of yourself. From personal experience, this is one of the most important parts. Make sure you will have something outside of soccer that allows you to take a mental break. College soccer is a job, especially at the D1 level. You’re here because you want it to be that way, but you can’t let it consume you. Meet non-athletes, join a club, or go try something new. It’s okay to make time for yourself. College is a huge adjustment, regardless if you are moving 10 minutes down the road, or a plane ride across the country. Give yourself grace, ask for help, do the work, and enjoy the process. You’ve got this! -NCAA D1 Athlete #CSTruth Truth!

@ImYouthSoccer Boca is legit

These 3 clubs are very well deserving of the promotion from the #ECNL RL to the #ECNL. Congratulations!

@mlycan12 The mom that thinks any bit of contact should be a yellow card, especially if it is their kid getting hit.

The different types of Parents on soccer sidelines is a wild case study: ~Dad who only calls daughter by digits of jersey # (cmon two-three!) -Mom who thinks every attack is offside -Dad who thinks every offside attack is onside ~Mom just chilling with her coffee browsing X for commitment updates (And yes, I can categorize us coaches too!) #RecruitingHumor #GirlsAcademy #SoccerSidelines

@KaiEdwards13 That's F'd bro... but thanks for checking

@stewartflaherty @ProspectsUsmnt That's a great way of framing it

USL1 isn’t worse than MLSNP. They are tiered the same. MLSNP is younger competition and more tactically disjointed as players move in and out of rosters on ongoing basis, sometimes first teamers playing without training with group. USL1 is older with more results based pressure, more organized teams and will be good development.

This isn’t even an upgrade of a move. USSL1 is worse than MLSNP. Not a great sign of what Crew view as his progress. Can’t really disagree either. I thought last year was a real step back for him. Has time to figure it out, but going in the wrong direction.

@CCrip22 NBC apps are setup beyond terrible. To get that match, you have to just use the NBC sports app.

What is the sense of paying for Peacock when a match is on USA (Owned by NBC) and you still can't stream it...

@Don_Caso Now what is the availability of each of those courses? How many spots each year?

🇺🇸 The cost to work through the United States Soccer Federation licenses Grassroots (2) = $200 USSF D = $400 USSF C = ~$1700 USSF B = ~$2900 USSF A (Youth or Pro) = $4500 Pro Course = $10,000 🧾 TOTAL= ~ $20,000

@CoachBlaker @GCU_WSoccer Swing by SWFL Premier tonight to check out our girls if you want. I’ll be there!

On my way! Looking forward to a great event watching our commits and searching for future @GCU_WSoccer Lopes!

New Interview - Central Penn College Women’s Soccer – Coach Rudy Grubesky discovercollegesoccer.com/central-penn-c… #soccer #collegesoccer @ImCollegeSoccer @TopDrawerSoccer @socceramerica @TheSoccerWire @ECNLgirls @GoCPCKnights

Incoming Freshman: You’re either getting better or getting worse. Don’t coast it just because you’re committed already. Good habits start now and poor habits are hard to recover from this summer and fall. Don’t blame it on your coaches next year. #CSTruth

Now that’s funny! 😂
