SOCCER QUEST ! : DAY 1
today marks the first day of official practice for me and colin. if you haven't heard, both me and colin are working on our soccer game so we might have the possibility of making our college's respective club team. colin looks like he has a hard road because Penn State's college club team is 5th in the nation and 1rst in the northeast, but he also has somewhat of an advantage because he has played soccer before. The situation for myself is also looking bleak. i have never played organized soccer in my life and am still trying to learn the fundamentals, but i bet that furman's club team is a little worse than penn state's club team.
oh yea i decided that i am attending Furman University. (any FU jokes posted in this space)
so anywho, today we worked on some basic passing and corner kicks. i realized today 1. how hard it is to do a semi-decent corner kick and 2. how hard it is to recieve and control a semi-decent corner kick. I also realized how bad my volleys are. I have alot to work on. the mood after todays practice was somber and frustrated, but i am not discouraged. today's practice reiterated something to me of which i am already aware: i really suck at soccer. tryouts are a little more than 4 months away. i will try to keep a running journal of SOCCER QUEST !
