New Summary

As I talked about on the last two summary posts, the new summary post will be like the other ones. This post you will have a resume of the “How to Be a Leader” and “Media Day” post.

The “How to Be a Leader” post gives step by step as a list format on how to be a successful leader for your teammates and staff. When you are a part of a team with thirty players, some players on the team will have to step up and be an example on and off the field. There are five important tips to follow:

Leading on and off the field, demonstrating good sportsmanship, respecting coaching staff and officials, take responsibility and, talk to your teammate often about problems that they or the staff may have. Those are essentials tip to follow even if the players are not trying to be a captain. Those tips are given for players to be successful on and off the field and have a better relationship with the coaches and teammates, if they follow those tips, everyone involved will have a successful soccer season. Coaches look for player that they can count on not matter what happens as the season goes on, players need to be responsible, take care of themselves and hold each other accountable in order to win a championship.

The “Media Day” post gave some behind the scene actions description, on what player go through the day before they hit the field for the first day of preseason. It is an exciting time for player to get to know each other and bound with the staff, they get to spend the whole afternoon trying out uniforms and take pictures for Troy University, their new home for the next years. It is hard for players to open up on the first day they meet with the team, media day has the power to help the players to talk to each other more and get to know the person off the field. Players get know each other and bound with the staff before everyone gets to work in preparation for the season. Those two posts were based on the players experience as an student athlete and what it takes to be successful with their team.
