The idea behind it is that in sports you lose sometimes in the biggest situations or don't even get to compete. Among many of the best that lights a fire.

My players season although good ended in a disappointing way last year. She liked it and got the message. Three weeks and counting.

The commerical is also about character and how an individual deals with adversity. Do they give up or use the experience as motivation to be great. It's why Matt Ryan was last in the commercial training hard in the off season after his Falcons were up by 25 points and lost the Super Bowl.

It's the beginning of a new chapter for your player. It gets better for you. I heard that your daughter's teammate that you and I had discussed is a solid player. I heard that she has a chance to contribute. It might be tough for her to earn minutes right away but the ability is there.

Good luck to you and your player.

Thank you MAP! Definitely excited and nervous at the same time.

As for that player, she is a baller and will definitely make some noise over there. Needs to learn to take one less touch and either pass or shoot. Will be fun to watch her progress.

I had asked my player what she thought of the freshman that she had seen so far and she was one of the names that she mentioned. It's going to be the Hunger Games to get on the field but anybody that is capable will get the chance to prove themselves. Again good luck to you and your player is going to definitely dig the location. Safe travels back home.
 
What I am learning. A lot "more" emphasis on strength and conditioning at the college level. I gonna say more so than ball work.

Unless a poster like GKrent who already had an older DD who played college soccer. Club parents have no idea just how much strength and conditioning their DDs will be doing at the college level. My DD got to level 30 on her 1st Nike beep test. Yet, she is doing additional conditioning on her own to raise her score.

It's exactly 2 weeks from the first day of practice. Still some time to improve a little but at this point go time is here!

I heard the beep test is easier with the upperclassmen, because they will set the pace for the 1st 10 levels. Where as the freshmen haven't mastered it yet and go out to fast in the beginning stages.

You are also allowed to miss a level so they use a "rest" level as they start getting up there in their reps.

Yup, I saw that on a UCLA beep test video and shared that tip with my DD already.

Another tip is when turning at the half way mark to alternate left and right foot when pushing off. It helps to balance out a weary leg. DD will be using that tip next time ;)
 
My player said that one of her roommates blasted a 56 and only took her rest lap at like 50. Broke the school record on her first try! I think HAO has the national team record of like 65 or so.

Anything above 40 is well above the average womens college player. Anything above level 50 is ludicrous mode.
