Sure the season is over and we are well underway in the Spring semester of 2008. So, not much happening with the DWU Men's Soccer Team right? Wrong! In fact, you couldn't be more wrong. Academics is what is happening with the DWU Men's Soccer Team. This semester, I have made a promise to my teammates...I will not fail them and they are not alone as far as academics go. So, let the fun begin! The goal each day is that EVERY player be seen at EVERYclass. How do we do know you ask? It must be the teachers making reports. Nope. It must be players watching out for each other. Nope.
Each day the walking begins and it is my personal goal to walk by every single classroom that has a soccer student-athlete in it. I have my list and I check it twice so to speak. The guys are making it to class. The guys are making it to class on time. The guys are succeeding in academics. I am very proud of them!
Another exciting time is beginning...the 2008 Spring Semester! All the guys are straggling in one by one and anxiously beginning the new semester. I am very excited about this semester. Overall the grades were pretty good last semester...but, the Spring semester historically is a time when the guys are able to be more successful in the classroom. Last semester I didn't do a very good job being involved with the players' academics and feel like I failed them. That WILL NOT happen again! I am frantically putting schedules into a spreadsheet and will make myself a huge part of their academics this semester. Guys...don't be surprised if you show up to class and I am sitting there! ;-) My challenge to the guys is to achieve an overall grade point average of 3.0! I believe in the guys and know they can do it. I have also challenged myself to be involved every day this semester with their academics by visiting classrooms every day!
I know the guys will achieve success this semester in the classroom.
