At his current level it's usually not the best idea to take such a large gamble.

To get where he wants to be, it's two parts skill, and one part luck. If he doesn't have a backup plan, his life will be very difficult in the future if the luck part doesn't work for him. It's always good to have something to fall back upon in case the glory doesn't come as quickly as you'd like.

Even in the Conference, those are "part-time" footballers. In other words, they don't make enough money to live comfortably (although i suppose one could get by).

Amdy: At your current level i would not recommend that you "forget everything else". I don't know if you're still in school, but even if you could stay in school part-time and get some credible degree, it would be good for you. Anything can happen in the next 5-10 years, and as someone growing up to be a mature professional, i hope you understand what i'm talking about. You'll be just as skilled if you practise 7 hours a day and study for 1, than if you practise for 8 hours and never study.

I'm only 21 myself so i guess i can't talk too much, but i am working to become a professional referee one day, but i am still getting my teaching licence in 18 months, so i will always have a decent living to fall back upon.

I trust your judgement though, and i'm sure you'll be fine no matter how your career plays out. Good luck mate.

PS wouldnt this be better suited in the "Your Soccer Career" forum? It might get lost amongst everything else here.

Yea mate I see exactly what ur sayin, yea im still in education and will prolly have a job soon so it's not as if im dropping everythin :)

I understand what u think and it's coo, i feel im improving every game and it's goin well. So who knows :)

But yeah, practice makes perfect :D

Umm I did say if anyone wants 2 move it feel free. I don't mind as people usually reply so it never really goes further than 3 pages or so. It's cool :)

I dont think the reserves have a game untill Jan btw, which is kinda annoyin, the first team play over Christmas I think.

Trainin thursday :)

That's great that you're staying with your school as well. It might also help you in moving up, if people notice that you have such immense skill and yet have good marks in school at the same time. That's how it tends to be in the USA anyway, i wouldn't know about England. But i'd imagine scouts would like to see a player with a brain to go along with their skill. Again, best of luck!

Hi again, :D

We had a game today, and I started, which was good because i've been injured for the last couple of weeks. So yea I started.

I felt really confident today, in the car on the way there, and in the warm up, im really pleased with myself.

So yea anyway we were at home, and the game kicked off and I got a few good early touches on the ball, I recieved the ball back to goal on the left wing, then turned into the right, gave a one-two and then put a through ball to our player who hit wide, that was a sign to myself that I knew i'd have a good game.

As the game went on I felt I was doin better and better, I took on a couple of people, didnt give the ball away, and did some nice constructive passes.

One time I had the ball on the halfway line, did a stepover then just kept running, and I had the ball in the corner and two of their players came runnin in, so I just cut back with my left and then we stood completely still, then i flicked it to our player. Im pleased im gettin respect.

They only had 10 men, so I didnt really have to get back, and had a big licence to get forward, so I did. We scored two goals which were both good, but I was also annoyed because I wasnt far away from one, then the ball just went passed me and our other player scored, I know it's a team game but I wanted to score. So it was 2-0.

Soon after that I ran to the goal as the ball was on the right wing, our guy crossed it to another who I was behind, then I called for it and he set me up, then it was on the half volley, and I hit it and it went over....... I was disgraced, I wacked my hands on my face in annoyance, I was so annoyed, but didnt want to put my head down, and thought.. im gonna score today :)

After that the whistle blew for half time. I felt it was a good half for me, I put in some beautiful crosses and nearly scored from a corner.

We came out for the second half and I was really confident lol, I love it when we're standing waitin for kick off, I just look up and just .. It's weird but im just really happy to be playin. I love it.

So yea the second half kicked off and I did some good passes and skills etc, and then scored! It was a really good volley from about 16 yards out, the ball was in the air over my head so I turned, kept my eye on it, and cracked it in. I was angry I missed in the first half so I thanked god because I said to myself i'd score, it'll come. And thankfully it did.

So yea it was now 3-0 and I was happy to score, really happy.

Play resumed and I wasnt in it as much (why i don't know) but I was still touchin the ball and stuff. I got the ball and ran to the wing, I should of ran inside the player but I ran outside, then he slid me and I agrivated my ankle again and it's now injured, well.. It's not as bad as I thought but still bad enough to not play, so I pray it'll be okay for next week, because im in good form and i'd say that was my best performance.

I came off after that but I was annoyed cause I wanted to finish the game, but it's my fault and i'll definately learn for that. I have a lot of things to learn and a lot of things which I think I have learned. I'll work on everything I need to and i'll improve.

Im happy, annoyed, and sad. Happy I played well and scored, annoyed because I got injured again and it was my fault, and that makes me sad because I know I cant play. But what I do know is that im good enough to play to a high standard in the future, my opinion.

Im glad I started today, im really confident and im gonna get better and better as each game goes by. I thank someone above, I waited for a star to fall.

Thanks for readin, i'll let you know how our next game goes, if I play, which I so so so so so so so so so so so hope im fit.

:) I scoooorrrrred!

Excellent to hear about the goal business. I know you dont know me, but I have the utmost respect for anyone who can even approach the level of a tryout for a pro or semi pro team. Congrats :jap:

Yoyo

I was wondering if anybody had any information about open trial days anywhere they know then i'd love to know. Im very interested in attending one as in the Uk I havent heard of clubs that do them. So yea, any information would be appreciated. Thanks very much.

I emailed em mate, no reply as of yet but I just asked basically if they have open trials or are planning to, or if they know of any other clubs which do so. I think if I found out some dates of a few trials, i'd go over there and give it a go. So if anybody knows any information, let me know.

Thank you,

Rochester mate, I want to go to the Usa and do the trial, but the problem's money, I mean that's the only thing, but I really wanna do it, there's a 30% chance i'll go but I doubt it, I really want to though.

Are they a proper professional club? What are their players like? And most important, will they be having the open day this time next year or before?????

El Diablo Rojo, Im always given number 9, I don't know why, right now I prefer to be a high number like 14 or 15, but I take what im given, but one day I wanna be 7 or somethin.

No offence taken Rony, but I don't see wanting to score being greedy, at the end of the day reserve football is not about winning the league, it's about gettin into the first team and even spotted for bigger teams, it's more individual, I aim to score in every game I play in, and that's the point of football no? And I have set up quite a few times, I got us back into the game a few weeks ago, which I was pleased about. But naaa naa I may sound cocky but im just really excited and want to learn and get better you know?

But yea Rochester mate, could you give me more information? I really wanna go but it's the other side of the world and money, but info would be so helpful, thanks man.

Wow, some cool sh!t you got going on bro.

Best of luck with your soccer future, you got nothing but respect from all of us at SGF.

...and yeah, post a pic or something (Y)
 
The team is very professionel, it was actually ranked one of the top 5 run franchises in the world my a sporting magazine. The other 4 were manchester United, LA Lakers, Green Bay Packers, and the other I have forgot. The players are very nice, I've spoken to many of them myself and they are very down to earht guys. They are a very competitive team, they've gone to the playoffs every year of existance. We won the US Open Cup, being the only non-flight team to win it. They have a winning record against MLS teams, if you don't make it this year good luck making it next year, since the plan right now is for Rocehster to play in the MLS in 2006 since they are such an amazing team which will also mean earlier start time for trials since the MLS is already in the preseason. Good Luck

So I donno what's gonna happen, but I so hope I can go. So mate, if you had to say, when would you say their next trials would be? If and if they don't get promoted this season?
