December - Late, Soccer Drills That I Can Do In My Basement During The Winter? The question is asked' " I want to improve in soccer as much as possible over the winter. what are some things i can do everyday alone in my basement? also, besides drills, what muscle groups should i work out? crunches, pushups..." Answer You should work on agility, all positions require good agility and quickness. If you are a defender you will need it to win a ball and if you play mid or forward explosion the change of direction is key to beating someone. You should also work on juggling which helps your touches and you should definitely pass against a wall to help you with your passing. Make sure to also stretch alot. To help you with your dribble and touches also do a bell on the ball (place the ball between your feet and tap it from one foot to the other and if you want to make it even more difficult try to do so without looking at the ball). You could also do stationary moves such as overs, unders, sole behind drags, etc. If you have enough room you can set up cones and dribble around them. When it comes to what muscle groups you should work on I would suggest doing wall sits and squats. Pushups and sit ups also usually help. You may also want to do v ups which is like sit ups but you bring both you feet and your arms up and make them touch then bring them down without touching the ground. You also may want to try leg lifts which is keeping your body completely straight on the ground but lifting your legs and bringing them down without even having them touch the ground. Good luck!!! December - Early, Financial Aid For Athletes Why Good Grades Can Help You Get An Athletic Scholarship and Play College Sports Coaches that recruit smar kids can build bigger and better teams. Smart kids get to play college sport because it is cheaper for the college coach to recruit them. Here's why. If a coach can get you an exempted academic scholarship then your chances of being recruited and playing college sport are greatly improved. Most athletic scholarships are not full ride like basketball and football, most are classed as equivalency sports and coaches have a limited number of scholarships to offer their prospective recruits. This is where your grades count. Most coaches work very closely with the college financial aid office; they have to. The first thing a coach will do is see if the athlete qualifies for some other form of financial aid. The coach will determine what "needs based aid" the player can get and then try to boost this with a partial athletic scholarship. If you qualify for an academic scholarship then that money does not count against the total athletic scholarship budget the coach has to work with. You can see why this is so attractive to the coach. You need to meet one or more of the following criteria to qualify. (this can vary depending on the institution). 3.5 core GPA. 25 ACT or better. 1200 SAT or better. Rank top 10% in your class. Numerous other grants as well as athletic scholarships are available. Financial aid, including grants, loans and work- study, are also available on the basis of need. Many students and their parents invest a lot of time, money and effort into their sport hoping that when the athlete graduates from high school all their college tuition will be paid for by an athletic scholarship. This might be possible for the elite athletes but most of you will have to look for other forms of financial aid as well. Don't just place all your emphasis on athletic skills, your grades and test scores are vitally important. One big advantage of receiving a financial aid package instead of, or in addition to, a scholarship is that even if you stop playing, are cut from the team, or lose your scholarship for some reason, you should still be able keep the non-athletic funding and stay in school! YOU WONT QUALIFY FOR ANY FORM OF ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP WITHOUT GOOD GRADES. WITHOUT GOOD GRADES AND TEST SCORES YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN GET TO COLLEGE LET ALONE EVEN QUALIFY FOR AN ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP. Good grades are therefore vital to your chances of being recruited. Coaches need to be able to put together a "package" that you will find attractive and has least impact on the college athletic budget.
