Growing up as a soccer player, not playing in college was not an option. Finding the club soccer team the first day on campus was such a good decision. As a first year member of the team, I gained a starting position as a forward. The team became family very fast. It was a new community for myself to become a part of. With club soccer as a part of my everyday routine, it taught me to be proactive through college. I has to balance the late night practices as well as all the late classes and work load. The road trip games and fun are just an added bonus in what club soccer has done for me.
