The Keeping Up with Troy Soccer blog posts have helped some people to know more about the university women’s soccer team and what it takes to be on the team as a division I student athlete. These posts tell and show behind the scene workouts, schedule and relationships of the players with the soccer staff. People that have accessed the blog learned a lot about soccer, the team and, the staff.
The post that I have got the more feedback from is the one that talks about “Relationships with Coaches” many people thought that coaches are there for the player during training and matches time but that is not true. Players have their coach support all day, every day, for anything they need in order to succeed on and off the field. At the end of the day the team comes together as a family. Everyone involved help each other on and off the field because that is how they will win games and titles. Most people do not know that Having a good relationship with your coaches is vital. When you have a good relationship with your coaching staff you can go and talk to them about whatever may be on your mind. I think what a lot of people don’t realize is that coaches are a lot more than just coaches. Coaches are there to be your coaches not only for soccer but for life, they are almost like your “parents” away from home. They are there to guide you, help you and prepare you for challenges that you will have to deal with on the field and how you can adapt that to situations off the field.
Another post that was successful and got the reader attention is the “Underdogs”. This specific post showed how important it is for athletes to have the right mindset going into the game. The players must have their mind fully prepared in order to have a high performance and be able to win the match. This is the problem so many teams have when playing higher ranked teams. They put themselves down before the game has even began, already giving the other team an advantage. There is nothing wrong with being the underdog, just because your team might not be ranked as high or thought to be “equal competition”. With perseverance, trust, the willingness to succeed and the mind set to win, it is possible for great things to happen
