Update on Missouri

In one of my last posts, I believe in March, I talked about the college coach from Culver-Stockton approaching me to see if I was interested in playing for them. I wasn’t so sure about the idea of moving across country to play for a small school located in the middle of nowhere. It has since then come to my attention that it was also a Christian school, making the option seem even more bleak and fading away. But about a month ago, I received a call from the head coach of said school. 

76FE14D5-9589-4BBA-A0C6-423B31585204We talked for about thirty minutes and went more into detail about what would be asked of me if I did come to play for him. He asked me about what I wanted to major in, and when I responded with Physical Therapy, he told me great things on the kinesiology program in the school and how it was a very popular with the soccer program and the athletes of the school. 

After we had a conversation about what I wanted to study, he talked to me about the area and how the campus is so small. He explained to me that if I was to go to the school without visiting it first, I may not enjoy being there. And if you don’t like where you are living and going to school, it will not help you or the school’s team. So overall, he invited me to see the college and practice with the team on June 22nd, and I think I am going to take him up on the offer.

College Recruit?

This past weekend, March 14th – 17th, my team attended a college showcase located in Las Vegas, NevadaCD9B1E0D-F7D6-485F-A7BC-5166B533EFBC. My dad, his girlfriend, and I drove up on Thursday. I stayed at Treasure Island, located on the strip, for three nights, while my dad and his girlfriend stayed an extra night. My team played four games in three days and had around 40 college coaches stop by to watch some of the games. After our first game, a coach from Missouri pulled me aside and had a conversation with me and my dad, after talking to my club coach first. He had said that he saw a lot of potential and hoped that I can fly out sometime soon to check out the campus. The school is called Culver – Stockton College, and it has less than 900 people in each class. which makes it a harder decision than originally thought. I like a large community, and big city. However, if I was to be offered scholarships, I would most likely play for that school.
