Chasing the Dream

  • Thanksgiving Wishes

    Hey everyone, in keeping the spirit of Thanksgiving, I think it's important to always reflect and appreciate everything and everyone we have around us. Having said that, I'll list off some of the many things I'm thankful for this holiday season...
  • The Quiet Life

    Now that coaching is in full swing, I'm really getting into it. My teams have been doing well, and the goalkeeper sessions are really an awesome learning experience for me. My u-12 team is unbeaten, and finished as a finalist in an Elite tournament...
  • The Offseason

    The season has come and gone and it definitely feels like just yesterday preseason had began. It's definitely a downer not to be in season anymore. We won the regular season championship, with Ronnie being named league GK of the year and our captain...
  • The Season's Winding Down...

    After a hectic schedule in July, the USL2 season is in it's final week before playoffs. We've been on a bit of a slow run at the moment, having an entire month of away matches in July. We travelled to Cary, NC last night where our Cup dreams were...
  • Good times are here...but man it's HOT

    It's been an exciting few weeks since I last posted. Camp season is in full swing, which is a very much welcomed supplement financially. The kids are definitely very tiring (5-7 year olds) and it's more babysitting than coaching, but as long as...
  • The Usual Grind

    It's really been a while since my last post, my apologies to everyone in the forum. Not much has changed since I last posted. At the moment, we stand 6-0-2 and a point out of first place with the first place team two games ahead, so after this weekend...
  • Training, Travelling and Injuries

    I'm starting to feel settled here in Richmond, and I think it's an incredible place with incredible people. Last week was interesting as there was a shooting in the alley behind my block, then our door got kicked in two days later (fortunately...
  • The Rookie

    So I've finally landed myself a team. I signed recently with Richmond Kickers in Richmond VA, a very good team/organization and defending USL2 champions. It's been a rough few weeks trying to settle in, finding a place to stay, my way around town...
  • The Waiting Game

    Preseason, the most wonderful time of the year. It's always a whirlwind of a few months here in the States from January to the start of the professional seasons. Seeing the new additions to the teams, preseason results, injuries and player movements...
  • Cheats, Liars, and Thieves

    So in my short time as an unattached aspiring professional, I've been fortunate to have the learning experience of dealing with pseudo-agents. The influence of high-profile athletes in the media had already implanted into my mind the ridiculous idea...
  • Doors Opening

    It's been a hectic holiday season for me, I hope everyone's had a safe and very happy Christmas and new years! I've been doing a lot of training during the past few weeks, inbetween two combines I've attended here in the states. The first...
  • Hectic Weeks

    Hey everyone, it's been a while since I wrote but here we go again. There hasn't been much going on here for the past few weeks, just the usual daily grind of school, training, and work. I've got a crazy few weeks ahead of me in terms of academics...
  • Done and Done

    This weekend was the final weekend of college soccer I'll ever play. To be honest, it's good to be done. This'll have been my 5th season (redshirted jr. year from injury) and at this point I'm ready to move on. It was good to end on a...
  • What a week!

    This week, more or less the whole college season, has been one frustration after another. Individually, the season's gone well. I've been very consistent and worked hard daily during practice and kept myself motivated. There's only 2-3 players...
  • Greetings and Introduction

    Hello All. My name is Mark, I'm a 5th year senior university goalkeeper here in America. This means this is my final season of competitive soccer and studies before the real world hits. Throughout my life I've wanted nothing more than to become a professional...
