Throughout the 2006 preseason, IUHOOSIERS.com will be taking an insider's look at the women's soccer team. Each day from Aug. 8-23, a different member of the team will be keeping a diary of the day's events. The entry for Tuesday, Aug. 9 is by junior forward Lindsay McCarthy:
Today was the first official day of pre-season! August 9 is the day that is written on every D1 college soccer player's calendar.
We all met early this morning at the track to do our team fitness test. You could tell everyone was nervous but once we all started running the nerves turned into adrenaline. After everyone accomplished the run we headed to the training tables to eat breakfast. Breakfast energized us for the practice that was ahead.
Practice started and you could tell how excited we all were to get a bunch of touches on the ball. For this being our first practice it went really well. Everyone had a positive attitude. The freshmen fit right in with the team. I am really excited for this season to start!
Now I wait until our third practice of the day. Yes, you guessed it...I'm taking a nap. :)
