Love this goal by Dax McCarty at USMNT training camp.
Behind in the times
I think I have an idea on why soccer is not progressing in the United States as it should. That reason…technology. After looking at many youth club websites today I realized how behind in technology the soccer society is. Most of the websites I looked at today, looked like they are keeping the geocities theme. There’s one step for the progression of soccer in the United States.
Soccer and Sociology
Being a sociology major has really started to make me realize the connection between soccer and sociology. I think it is crazy how much of the sport can be viewed by a sociological perspective.
Something tells me that if I do not get to where I want to be in the soccer world, that I may go into doing research on the subject and go from there. Soccer is not a passion, it is a lifestyle.
Hmmm….
There are many times where I sit around just thinking. I have thought about what to do in my life and things like that. Working today at the Richmond Kickers it dawned on me…I really do want a job in soccer. There is no way around it. Soccer is something that drives my thought process. I think that the blog will be a shift from newsy kind of stuff to being more my thoughts on soccer and working in the profession of it.
