2010-03-14T17:02:00.001-04:00

looking back im dissapointed i didnt make the all star game, but making it to this camp is an acomplishment in itself...

2010-03-14T15:19:00.001-04:00

at the airport now. its been a long 5 days and the almost grassless goal areas have really taken a toll on my hips and knees and elbows so im ready for a break

2010-03-14T08:38:00.001-04:00

wasnt selected to play in the all star game. not really shocked. congrats to stuby who made it. hope he does well!

2010-03-13T21:53:00.001-05:00

2010-03-13T13:01:00.001-05:00

moring training session went well. we played a lot of small sided games and worked on 1v1 and 2v1's. weather is beautiful, really improved level of play

2010-03-13T08:34:00.001-05:00

2010-03-13T07:40:00.001-05:00

2010-03-12T23:34:00.001-05:00

need to focus and finish strong. I need to not get to down on myself, im playing with some of the best kids in the nation, it takes some some getting used to

2010-03-12T21:23:00.001-05:00

just finished our games and are done for the night. kinda upset with my play tonight, having a tough time kicking on this slopy grassless field.

2010-03-12T17:56:00.001-05:00

the bad weather is making it very tough for everyone to showcase their talents. its kinda hard to stay mentaly focused with the distration of the terrible field

2010-03-12T17:41:00.001-05:00

our early game session was played on rain soaked field with standing water and mud everywhere. fields made the games almost unplayable.

2010-03-12T09:30:00.001-05:00

just got word that we are now going to play our games in the morning session instead of the afternoon. still raining....

2010-03-12T09:00:00.001-05:00

2010-03-12T08:49:00.003-05:00

gk training was canceled for this morning. not sure if its because of the rain or not. team training is still on though so i hope the weather clears up.

2010-03-12T07:45:00.001-05:00

woke up to rain again. we had sausage and eges for breakfast. getting ready to head out for gk training

2010-03-11T21:49:00.001-05:00

starting to get some well needed rest. food has been pretty good so far and everyone seems nice. need to keep working hard tomorrow and things should go well

2010-03-11T19:31:00.003-05:00

of what i saw today, the level of play is very high. the speed of play is very fast and takes a little getting used to.

evening session games were cut 10 mins short because of lightning, its been raining pretty hard almost all day. still beats snow though!

2010-03-11T15:03:00.001-05:00

so there are 72 kids from every age group, 8 of which are goalkeepers. most of the gks seem pretty good. no real stand outs that i have noticed yet.

2010-03-11T14:23:00.001-05:00

team training went good. we focused on transitions today. the rain cleared up and i hope it stays away for the games later.

2010-03-11T12:21:00.001-05:00

it rained for pretty much the whole gk training session this morning. Worked on 1 on 1 situations. Feel i did well but there is room for improvement

2010-03-11T08:11:00.001-05:00

on my way to the fields for gk training. Excited to finally start to play. Coaches are constantly evaluating everything we do, so you have to stay sharp.

2010-03-11T06:39:00.001-05:00

Just woke up. Keepers have to wake up an hour earlier than everyone else for goalie training and then we get to practice with our teams later on.

2010-03-10T22:17:00.001-05:00

The director of the camp is trying to run this very close to a US National camp . He has made it clear we are here to be scouted so its not all about fun and games.
