When it comes to setting goals, winners shoot for the stars
Set your goals high and have a good time trying to be the best that you can possibly be. In soccer, it is a lot of fun to pursue lofty goals when you know that your teammates want to do the same.
Many people associate being competitive with “too much pressure”, or “it’s not fun”. Through my experiences as a player and as a coach, I have found that players often are having the most fun when they are challenged to accomplish things that they perhaps did not feel that they could accomplish before.
Set your goals high and never be afraid of failure.
Meet Jerson Delgado, defender for NCSL Division 1 U17 Arlington Action and Wakefield High School
Stay tuned for a question and answer session with one of the soccer stars from Wakefield High School, Jerson Delgado. Jerson helped his high school team (Wakefield) come from behind tonight and score a huge victory 3-2 on the road against J.E.B Stuart. A tremendous leader on the field, this junior is certainly college ready. At 6′1 170 and gifted with tremendous leaping ability, Jerson’s ability to win balls in the air leaves opposing forwards frustrated. The intangible qualities of leadership and love for the game of soccer are certainly evident in this rising star of Virginia High School soccer, not to mention a work ethic that is top-notch.
