SD_semro Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I got a scholarship offer tonight to play at Marian College next year. I'm so pumped. Marian is right next to Butler University. They play in NAIA. They play D-1 schools. I never thought that a kid like me from Southeastern Indiana could play sports in college. I get the offer in mid March. Then I have to sign my letter of intent. I will be attending Marian College next year and will be getting my Bachelor's Degree in Sports Buisness and Management and I will be part of the soccer team and hopefully any other sport I tryout out for. I just wanted to tell you all ,and thanks to everyone who reads this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD_semro Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Thanks alot. I appreciate it. I just want to say that hard work pays off. I just played soccer for fun in High School. I talked to the coach. I got a tryout. I worked out before my tryout. It payed off. Some advice for any young teens on here wanting to play sports at the Collegiate level, just always work hard at every aspect of the game. Strive to be better and it will show.

Keep us updated! And leave some good tips! BTW did you play on any club teams or anything? A big school? I play at a small school and coach said i could play some college but i won't get noticed at such a little school with not much talent. I got All conference honorable mention.

But i have no idea if they travel to the big tourneys...I no they have another kid on there that couldn't hardley start every game on our team at our weakest position at wing. on a 1-1000 team so i don't no if its a good enough team I no the gunners are around here somewhere...i'll look into it... Edit. Looked up Gunners. The only thing that shows up is Arsenal things. So maybe i can play with the warriors then do a lot of guest play for other teams. I also heard yesterday a guy i played with that didn't play his senior year is playing some semi-pro in hawaii...i thought that was pretty cool..

SD_semro Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I played SELECT soccer growing up. I played indoor. I also played a number of othersports which was the reason I wasn't on a traveling team. I also didn't have the funds. Don't worry about me and classes. I got a 3.5 GPA and this is a great chance to have a career in my life. I'll get out of it what I put in it. I want to work with the Colts / Pacers throughout college. They have internships with the school. I'll get great grades so I can have a great career which I enjoy. My sister lives like 5 minutes off campus. So if I slack she'll keep me in line. She is graduating at Butler for pharmacy this year. This scholarship is a great thing and I will take advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I got an idea for you... where an shirt under your jersey that says Go-Bengals.com and whenever you score a goal lift your jersey up and show your go-bengals shirt to everyone while running around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
