What would you do if you had to play against one of your old teammates in college?
Uhmm i'm sure we would be friendly like to see each other again but we would be competitive too like we're there to win lol and so even though we were teammates once it'll be on like donkey kong if we're on different college teams
Where was the nicest stadium you've ever played at?
For a tournament i was in the semifinals and the championship game were at a really nice college stadium and it was fun to play at cause i pretended i was at college playing on a team lol
What was your favorite match from this season and why?
My favorite match from this season was definitely our 2nd time playing the #1 place team in our league. And because there was so much hype around the first game against them which when we played them the first time they were 6-0 and we were 5-0 so it was supposed to be like this great match well we ended up losing that game 4-nothing and so after it we felt really defeated. It was at a time where things were happening with our coach and we had guys out because of injury and other stuff and it just we knew we didnt play like we could against that team. So we went bak watched the game footage and made all new plays in order to come bak the 2nd time we would play them stronger and better. So the 2nd game we play them we were ready and we ended up taking them into overtime which is a big feat because they were like 12-1 at the time and like 10 of those wins were shutouts so to have taken them into overtime with a tied score was an accomplishment in itself but then their best player ended up scoring and we lost but that lose didnt feel as bad because we knew we gave them absolutely everything we had and even though we came out with a loss we also became a stronger team. And so that game i'll always remember and if anyone from that team reads this just know we're coming for you next year lol. And thanks for one hell of a game
Travel seems like a lot of fun idk if i would make it or not though
Well that's the good part there's like a team for everyone.!! At least for the travel team i play for there's like legit no cuts like we have a huge thing of tryouts where you go out for the team you want to tryout for and then they sort you into what team the coaches think you should make based on your tryouts. My advice would be to go for it lol you meet soooo many people on travel teams and it can be a good way to get noticed by scouts too and i've loved it this was my 4th year playing on a travel team
Uhmm i see some of them during our school soccer seasons cause we play each other but not really during the off season for travel team. But we stay in touch and we have a huge group chat and if our schools play each other in football or something we'll see each other so sometimes i do but not very often. It's always nice getting like a big group bak together like a big reunion lol
So you like tournament better because you arent like limited to who you play?
Yeahh that's it like playing the other schools during the school year is fun but also gets kind of boring tbh by like the 2nd or 3rd time we play them during the same season. With my travel team we might see the same teams but at different tournaments we usually play different teams and i like that because i like playing against teams with different styles and strategies than us and just it's always a new experience you kno?
Do you like school soccer or tournament soccer better?
Uhmm i dont really have a favorite tbh lol. I love my school team and all my teammates and playing against other schools and making friends with guys from other schools. And i love my tournament teammates too who are from other schools besides mine and getting to play teams from all over the state and some from other states and just just spending a whole weekend with my tournament teammates in a hotel and playing like 6 games a weekend and just it's so fun lol. Ohk i actually think i like tournament soccer better 😂
Oh and some divisions are harder to get into than others?
Yeah exactly some of the bigger schools are better or expected to be better at some sports and so they get all the best athletes from high schools to keep them at the top of the rankings. Also thanks for the support 😊☺️ it's scary thinking about having to start applying to colleges lol
Are there any of your old teammates or seniors from this year going to play anywhere?
Uhh yeah there are a few seniors going to play in college but only at like division 2 or 3 schools i think we didnt have any soccer players do signing day or anything. We've had guys play at our state's university and some state schools around us which is really good too. I'm hoping to get whatever i can as long as i can play for someone lol
I dont really have a favorite lol maryland is ranked #1 right now so i've been watching them but really been watching the whole championships dont really have a favorite lol
Mhmmm lol compare that to basketball that plays like four quarters that are like 8 minutes long so thats like what 32 minutes total that's less than ONE of our halves 😂😂 and football idk how long their quarters are lol but it's probably less than what we play too haha. Plus we have extra time and stoppage time so i think we win overall
