Received an invitation to Generation Adidas. I guess going to two MLSnext Events and three ECNL events paid off last year (all on my own dime… ) Now to see what my work says about the time off.
Props to the crew today ... high profile game. Both ARs nailed goal line decisions, 4O helped with a handling I could not see. Makes life easier in the middle when you have great people working along side you.
Had my first professional game in the books as AR2. Preseason friendly... all in but name. 2 reds, 8 yellows. Comms didn't work 2nd half of match. It was fun but these games are just different. (1st red was in the 19th min -- Mass Con in front of away bench) [This probably could go into Bad Stories... but I put it here for my development and growth]
All of a sudden my schedule has gotten busy. It was kinda nice for the past almost 2 months to just be training hard, do some preseason games, and pick up a local game if I wanted to. I've had to turn back 2 spring college games due to other assignments. Friday will be my 4th PRO preseason game, next week starts my regular season, the next week is an international friendly, then a spring college game, and I've been invited to Dallas Cup as part of an academy.
Gave two penalties today, nobody said a word. The silence you hear after awarding one is the best sound in the world.
