I just finished my sophomore year of college soccer and here's what I have to say. These are the realities I see but are not talked about in college soccer.

Where ever it is you are on this day in your career, keep going. We're almost halfway through the year and whether you are doing well and on your way to your goals, or at a slow point where things aren't going as planned, just keep going. Keep moving. Keep playing. Most importantly keep loving the game.
