In soccer I play any forward position -- whether it is central or on the wing -- for Sporting Kansas City Academy in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. In futsal, I play pivo.

This morning, the team woke up for 8 o'clock breakfast. The food
and services of our hotel have been great and the people are wonderful.
After breakfast, guys went back to their respective rooms to catch a few
more winks of sleep or get ready for the day
before getting treatment (if needed). Around 9:40, the team loaded the
bus for the first training session of the camp.
Getting out on the court
with the others was great for a rookie like me. It gave me a chance
to get a feel for the style of the play and
learn from my more experienced teammates. After training, we returned
to the hotel for lunch and then rested for a little bit. After some time
to recover, the next session began. The second session was more
tactical-based and allowed the coaching staff to
implement some ideas for the games ahead. Following the second
training, the team returned to the hotel once again and ate dinner.
Getting to know the guys has been easy. Along with some of the
other new players, my singing and acting skills -- or lack thereof -- are
being called upon. As the team continues to come together, I am excited
to see what we can produce on the court!
