Dead Week. 7 days before high school tryouts.

It's been a summer of endless fitness sessions. A million open plays with the same kids. School about to start :(

Gotta be sharp for tryouts but you feel a little dull.

The cure-

Hey everyone, just a quick update that I decided to step down from my role as Club President at Idaho Storm Soccer. It's always an honor to serve a club that does things the right way and makes the kids the highest priority.

If anyone is wondering where to try out for competitive soccer in Boise, go to Storm. www.idahostormsoccer.com.

Now I get to focus just on coaching my two teams this spring. Stoked to see these juniors and seniors finish up after 5 years of playing together! Added bonus to coach my last kid!!!

The club is in good hands and will continue to grow. It helps when you are the best value competitive club in the Treasure Valley. 😉
See you on the field in a few weeks!!

Idaho Storm Soccer Club – Idaho Youth Soccer affiliated competitive soccer club Storm Chasers is the ideal opportunity for your young player to learn fundamental skills in an engaging and low-stress environment. There are no try-outs. Players of all skill levels born between 2013-2018 are welcome to register.

Not allowed to say goodbye to her four younger siblings as they were whisked into the foster system.

Miraculously chosen by an adoptive couple who really wanted her.
