Off Season Soccer

 Off Season

   

     Since my first season of college soccer is over there is a lot of off time for me now since I don't have daily practices and games. What I'm doing to keep myself in shape is playing for the soccer club that I've been on since I was 10 years old. You probably are wondering if I'm able to do that or is against NCAA rules. It is not against NCAA rules for d3 but it is for d2 and d1. The reason that I want to train with them is because its a lot of other college kids and ex-college soccer players so it's definitely very beneficial for me. I also want to keep up my fitness and be in even better shape for next season.

     Another reason that I'm practicing with my old club is because recently it turned from a normal NPL team to an international academy. It has joined a Bundesliga team which is in Germany Borussia Mönchengladbach the reason that this is so big is that it is sending players from our youth teams to play with the youth academy in Germany and giving them opportunities in Europe which is very good. I feel like if I really perform well with my team I can get a shot to go to Germany and play soccer there like I've always wanted to do since I was young. It would be a very serial opportunity because not many people get to say that they had the chance to go play in Germany which is a top 5 league in the world for soccer and some of the greatest soccer played in that league.

    Finally, I want to stay very active with my soccer team because it would be a lot of fun to be a coach when I'm older I've really thought about that many times because I feel with the soccer knowledge that I have I can be a really good coach. I've also coached many youth camps and had a lot of success in them and I know that people can benefit a lot from what I have to say. I'd also say I've had to coach a u17 game because my coach got a red card and I was hurt at the time I was the captain of the team so I knew what was best for the team so I put the players that were needed to be in and we won. That is another dream of mine is to be a high school coach when I'm older.

First collegiate goal

 First College Goal I'm going to talk about my first ever soccer goal for north central and how much it meant to me. So I scored my first ever soccer goal against Carthage College last Saturday on family weekend. The reason that it meant so much to me not only was it my first goal but it was also in front of my family and friends. My grandma was there to see it and my grandmother hasn't really been feeling well recently so it really meant a lot to me that she came and supported me at my game. I didn't play that much in the game but I did play the last 15 minutes in the game and in those 15 minutes I scored and also got an assist. It was such a surreal moment and was filled with a lot of emotions. Now I'm going to talk about the goal. So before I even scored I had an opportunity to score before that but I was unfortunately offsides so it was called off and all my hope was lost because I thought I wouldn't get an opportunity like that again. But that wasn't the ca...

 First Semester Of College Recap                 For it being my first semester of college I would overall say it was a success. I came into college honestly not knowing what to expect, to be honest really. The reason I didn't know what to expect is because all these people tell me all this stuff about college and their experiences. Yes, they have been through college already and they have more experience than me but everyone ones experience in college is a lot different people from a bigger school are going to have a different experience than someone who maybe had a went to a smaller school like me. Obviously, I still listened to what they had to say about college but I really didn't pay too much attention to what they had to say and I just wanted to see for myself and have my own experience in college. Yes, I've only been here a semester but I've still experienced a lot in my 4 months of being here.     My classes, I wis...

Class Expectations for writing

 Hi, my name is will Mayer! This is my first year at North Central. This blog will be for my CARD 101 class. For my class expectations in this class, I want to become a better writer and extend my thoughts in writing instead of being very vague with my writing. In high school I really struggled in writing, because I feel that I wasn't really understanding what the author was getting at. Now that I'm in college that's very key to understand, because the writing level will be higher and there will a lot of information being thrown at you. I feel that one way that will help me is rereading and taking notes on what I read so then I can grasp what I just read. I also feel that if I start writing more and more I can better my writing skills and expand my thoughts in my writing. Secondly, in this class I want to expand my vocabulary because in high school I was using the same words over and over. I feel that if I extend my vocabulary my writing skills will be a lot higher and make...
