Well I always forget to come on and write something on here because I don't go on my computer that often but now I realized that I have an iPhone and can do it from my phone so will try my hardest to get more posts on here.

So, I am done at Gold's Gym and I am going to be doing some landscaping for the rest of the summer. I love training and I love my clients but it is just not something I can do for a summer job when I only have 4 months to make as much money as I can before I go back to school. I'll get back to it once I am done school and I'm a bit more settled and only have to worry about work and can stay somewhere where I don't have to leave my clients a few months later. Until that time I'm going to just keep doing jobs to make money and just worry about school and soccer.

School is a major focal point for the next little while because I need to do as well as I can and not be a failure with it. As well as university I need to get my couple upgrading courses out of the way so I can be on track. My goal was to be done by June but that didn't happen so now it is the end of the summer but it's going to be tough. I have a full year from when I started them to finish so if I get them done by January then I can be on track with my university courses for the spring semester next year.

I am on my way to becoming a bigger, faster, and stronger player but my ability with the ball is where I'm lacking. Along with training in the gym I need to make sure I do ball work on my own and at training I'm doing everything I can to improve. There's no point to it if I'm not giving myself goals and working to be getting better. Sure I could just go with what I've got and be comfortable butwhat the fuck is the point? It's reasons like this why I train as hard as I do. Something that has been pissing me off lately is my lack of intensity in training and games. I get in my head and worry about getting hurt and crap like that an I don't play to my full potential. I know that when I wa preparing for university I kind of toned thing down because I wanted to be ready to go when I got here but I honestly just think that made me soft. I need to start playin like I have a pair and it starts right now. I'm done with playing half assed. This is my time to make big improvements and become a way better player. Be a top CIS player and try and turn some things around at lethbridge.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

I went to that concrete place the other day to drop off a resume and when I looked at my iPod I realized it took me just under an hour to ride there. I decided not to apply because I can't be riding for 2 hours everyday and not expect to be burnt out fast. So now my plan is to just giver at the gym and get as many active clients as I can and make a bit of coin. I have a chance to do some landscaping starting in July too which will be good because it will be steady cash flow.

This last week I have crashed twice on my bike riding to work. The first time I was going pretty slow so that didn't hurt that bad but yesterday I was probably going about 35km/h and the pin on my breaks dropped out so I had no breaks and had to jump off my bike basically; that one hurt a lot.

I'm now at 205 lbs and I'm feeling stronger than I have before. I haven't lost any speed with my size but I haven't gained any either. That is the next phase of my training; speed, acceleration and vertical. I can't wait to see where I am in a couple years with my training and playing. All that takes care of the off field training so I need to work at my on field abilities as well. I feel like I am constantly improving though and always moving forward.

Last weekend our games got cancelled due to the rain here in Alberta, apparently everyone is made of sugar here and can't play in the rain, what a joke. But, we have our first games this weekend in Edmonton and I couldn't be any more stoked. Apparently one of the teams we're playing has a wicked striker that runs there team so I cannot wait to be challenging him tomorrow afternoon. This first game here is what I fucking live for! Through all the tragedies throughout time there has always been an understanding for sports. Tomorrow when that first whistle blows we forget everything else and play the game that we love.

FYI posts are going to be more frequent and I'll be finishing everyone off with some inspiration.
