Day in the life of a college soccer player during a college soccer game. I'm at one right now at the UCSB soccer game. Let's get into it. So you know that pregame feeling like when you're in a stadium? Oh, some of you don't know, but so you will know if you get to play college soccer. I've gotten to do this a couple of times and a couple more— more than a couple times, but I also got to do it as a pro soccer player. But it's a really special thing, this like warm-up before the hand. It's just freaking— the goosebumps are really exciting. You get to really feel like a professional, and this is college soccer, which is just freaking sick. One of the reasons I'm always talking to you guys about why you should play college soccer and why I think you would all enjoy it so much is because all of us, of course, dream of playing at the highest levels we possibly can, you know, being Neymar and Messi. And that's a difficult place to reach for all of us, you know, including myself, obviously. And this is really, really close. It's really close. At UCSB like this against UNLV, this stadium is amazing. Okay, there are professional soccer teams not this nice is in the United States, and you get an education. And for those of you that saw the other video of the social life at this school, it is outrageous, and it's just going to be a great time. If you want more help playing college soccer, give me a ring. Links in the bio, and I'll talk to you soon.
