It takes GRIT and sacrifice to play Div 1 Soccer. Self reflect and ask yourself these questions: 1. Will you get up for early AM lifts and not just drag yourself there but arrive happy and energized, eager to work and motivate your teammates? 2. Are you ready to miss family events—weddings, birthdays and be separated from your parents for longer than you ever have before? 3. Can you manage every aspect of your life for the first time by yourself, before you even throw in the rigors and demands of a sport? 4. Can you survive in an environment where you are defined by your sport and have very little social life existence outside of athletic and academic obligations? 5. Can you handle the mental challenge of going from the super star to possibly bottom of the roster, sitting on the bench, and/or not traveling with the team? 6. Will you be genuinely happy for your roommate who is getting all the playing time and attention while you’re getting none? If all answers are a resounding YES than you are built for this, but it’s not for everyone. And actually not for most. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Attended my first Portland Hearts of Pine game last weekend in Portland, Maine and was so blown away by the atmosphere and fan support. There seems to be a movement going on with these local sports teams all over the country especially in soccer. Even local Women’s semi pro teams are drawing thousands of fans on the regular. It’s a great and AFFORDABLE experience for the whole fam. Up close and personal experience with players clearly playing for the love of the game who appreciate their loyal fans…maybe a breath of fresh air from what our professional sports have become, lots of prima donnas and price tags that are cost prohibitive for a family. A cultural shift in sports may be happening right under our nose
