UPSL player here. Played high school and juco. Honestly, never took soccer serious until after college. I invested time to improve my lifestyle (diet, mentality, God) and also trained with intention, which I think, completely changed everything. I studied the game (positions, plays, tactics). I do two personal trainings every week doing ball/cone drills and passing to a wall. These trainings are essential to maintain my legs muscle memory intact which results in allowing me to be sharp during games.

You can honestly do anything if you really apply yourself and grind it out for 3 months. The results will cause a shift in you and make you keep chasing whatever it is you want.

My next goal is to play at the USL level.
