University of Iowa

Transferring to a big university is such a big change! Everything is different. The classes are bigger and a lot harder, the campus is way bigger, there's a million people and it would be impossible to meet everyone, you hardly ever see people you know around campus and that's just the school part. With soccer the level of intensity and skills is way above high school and junior college. The conditioning is something you never thought possible. I've never had harder running workouts and I've never lifted so many weights in my life. It's almost guaranteed you'll gain 10 pounds in muscle once you begin training with a D1 soccer program. It has been so different and so challenging but worth every bit. When you finish a hard working out there's nothing better then that feeling! All the hard work brings so much success in the end! I might complain about the work outs before and during them but a really love the way my body feels after! I really wouldn't change anything!
