Things have been crazy busy in my life. Coaching college soccer for "part-time' pay when you aren't considered "part time" is a lot harder than it sounds. Putting in full time hours, but having to find another way to supplement income makes things difficult. But I have been blessed....three weeks ago, I was hired as a Life Skills Aide at Sky View High School in Smithfield where I work with students with severe disabilities. My hours are M-Th in the mornings and I am able to find a sub for when I miss for soccer. I can still recruit, and travel with USU soccer...and it will fill the financial void I was experiencing to try and make ends meet. This job has blessed me in other ways too...I work with kids who need help with the day to day things that the rest of us take for granted. It really puts things into perspective and has reminded me what's really important...things still get to me, but not to the magnitude they used to because at the end of the day, I can function mentally, emotionally and physically independently and at full capacity, and I have three jobs (USU, Sky View and Goalkeeper Academy) that pays the bills. The goalkeeper academy is basically me training local goalkeepers....some are through the actual academy and others are kids I have trained since I've been in Logan who are still with me! So aside from a very hectic schedule, my life is in pretty good shape.
Soccer has been a lot of fun this season....we started winning our first 8 games...8-0. That doesn't generally happen in college soccer! We are now 8-4-1....its been quite the ride. Conference is underway...I hope we can get back on a winning streak soon!!!! :)
