Notice Little THE HCP

Congrats to her and her teammates.

And the proud parents of them. State title is just like any other title, hard fought and can go any way. Any championship is earned. Imagine winning the World Cup… Individuals who dedicate their life to the sport and it comes down to a goal in the final minutes of overtime in an extremely hard fought match which the team had to win X games against quality clubs to play in.

That is why sports are epic, on any level.

100% Sheed quote “both teams played hard”

Well said brother. Amazing thing, last two games of playoffs she played against teammates on her club team! It was a battle, but then and is parents hugged it out in the field after! Never forget this one FAMS.

Thank you for sharing, it's been a fun journey!

Thanks @SlyPokerDog for having a place for me and others to share this kinda stuff.

Journey is nowhere complete FAMS. Now that college soccer is over, the schools interested in her are back in the recruiting trail after their break for their season…. All 3 reached out congratulating her, and said they will be at her practices coming up and a HUGE college showcase first week of December. Hoping to have her choice for school locked down by late winter. She’s only a junior, but would like to get all this recruiting stress out of the way. I’ll keep ya updated.

Now that college students can use their Name, Image and Likeness…… thinking the geeks who run this site could blow the Cheeto dust off their moms basement table, put down their 20 sided D&D dye and meet with us to talk business! NO we won’t accept that Nerd Money that’s flying around everywhere, cold hard cash my friends! This will be the first chance to be in the same room with a female you don’t have to inflate first in decades for some of you I’m sure! #BAM

Very cool. Great job!

And like that, Club season has begun. The girls are prepping for a huge college showcase on the east coast early December. Cool thing about this pic, that’s my daughter with two of her teammates that she battled this season from Jesuit and Beaverton. Love seeing them back together.

HUGE College Showcase down in Tennessee and this kid had the defense on ice skates!

Super! congrats to proud parents, I realize how much parents, work, cost and time goes into soccer for kids that are destine to play in college.

My grandson(HS Junior Seattle) was in Sarosota Florida this last week at a big tourney.
In the last couple months he's been in Texas, Kansas & Florida.

He's looking at Gonzaga and Pepperdine

Very cool! Hope he lands where he is happy! Yes…. Crazy thing is how much WE and other club parents pay for this stuff. My deal with my wife is, she can never tell me how much. I’d lose my mind if I knew. We aren’t positive that she’s going to play D1 in college, but I know quite a few of her friends on her club team that won’t… And I just can’t imagine spending all this money, and them NOT getting into a D1 school with a scholarship. It has definitely been an interesting journey. And over Thanksgiving dinner had a fantastic 20 minute conversation with Coach Billups all about it. His daughter just graduated from Texas and she played in the same league as my daughter, so when I told him that, his eyes lit up! He said he misses it so much watching her play. I just got to know him the road trip before, so that was very kind of him. He even offered if I ever had any questions to get a hold of him or if my daughter wanted to talk to his daughter about the recruiting process they could hook up. Great guy!

I just assumed the grass seeds were inbred.

So that Tennessee showcase in November really stirred up some interest from some new schools. A handful from the midwest. Also Wyoming wants her immediately to commit. She did some goggling and she says, "Dad, all the students look like they are on there way to a Trump rally!" HA! Thats my kid.

Her club season started this past weekend and she had kick ass couple games up in seattle in front of Gonzaga and Boise State scouts. Western Washington in Bellingham wants to to commit asap as well. Looks like a great school in a beautiful setting, but the level of soccer might not be what she is used to. Really juggling what is important to her. Finding a perfect mix of quality education/right soccer situation and what we can afford.

 

[THE HCP]

So today I'm picking her up at noon and we are going on an OFFICIAL VISIT out on the bluff. UofP has shown a bunch of interest in her. Usually they don't invite you out to meet the players, sit in on team meetings and have the coaches sit down with the parents unless they are very serious about the student athlete joining the team. So lets just say my wife and I are probably more nervous about this afternoon than she is.

She's been going to games and camps out there for years.

Sly, of we can do a GoFundMe here on S2 for my kid, it would be much appreciated. Or even better, you guys could sponsor her with the new NCAA Name Image/Likeness rules!

You really want all the basement dwellers to have access to your kid's image / likeness? Yikes.

Yeah, that’s one thing about U of P…..they seldom, if ever give out full rides in any sport, regardless of gender.

One word - University of Portland (please don't accuse me of not being able to count)
My great nephew would not accepting my and his father's advise to consider University of North Carolina, which also has a pretty good soccer program I believe, because he said they are very prejudiced against gay men. Good for him.
