Game Day - Home vs Whitewater

Here it is… Whitewater at home tonight!  In my mind, our biggest home game of the season.  To continue from yesterday’s theme, focus is key today.  Luckily, I planned my schedule that I only have one class on Wednesdays, which is when most of our mid-week games are but I still have to run into work for a little while.  Even so, all morning I will be hacking away at schoolwork that I will not have time to get to tonight.  I have a Human Resources exam tomorrow, and that is that last thing I want to be worrying about with such a big game right at my doorstep.  Most people might say, “Yeah, you only have one class… what’s the big deal?”  So many things go through my mind the day of a game.  I need to eat properly and at the right times, hydrate well, get as much as I can done for school before the game, then mentally prepare myself for the actual game itself.  Again, focus is key.  Being able to block out everything that is going on outside of soccer takes extreme of mental toughness.  So here I am, trying to get my studying taken care of so I can begin the mental preparation for the game.  I want to give a special shout-out to my best friend, Ses.  I love you like a brother but tonight I am going to score on you and it is going to be that much sweeter since you are the goalie.  Here goes nothing!
