Converse College Woman's Soccer Facebook

Soccer is easily one of the most popular sports played around the globe. After years of playing there are things my teammates and I consistently joked about, things only soccer players would understand. The sport is very special to me in many ways. It has not only made me grow as a leader but it has helped shape me into the woman I am today. As my teammates and I looked back on our memories we have made throughout our years playing soccer we landed on a specific list of things we all agreed previous soccer players could understand. Among many others, here are a handful of things only soccer players would relate to:

1. Sorry I have soccer practice...

Every time you get invited out your universal response is "sorry I have soccer practice. Free time? What is free time?

2. You always have some type of injury.

Whether you're covered in bruises or turf burns there is always something wrong with your body.

3. Your jeans never seem to fit you correctly.

Your waist is a whole different size than your calves/thighs are.

4. Always being hungry.


Enough said....

5. You have an emotional connection with your cleats.

You can never get rid of your old pair of cleats because throwing them away is like saying goodbye to an old friend...forever....

6. There is always that one teammate who's always too aggressive during practice.

You hate them during practice but love them during a game. They just don't seem to understand the concept of not hurting their own teammates.

7. Spandex always seem to make an appearance in your daily outfits.


There is really no explanation as to why we continue to do this, it's just simply a necessity.

8. You are always juggling....

Whether it be the ball or everything else going on in your life we all have to find the perfect balance.

9. Action shots of you playing are to be burned.

Look at this monstrosity...

10. Your teammates are your best friends.

No matter what team drama may be going on, your team becomes your best friends. Soccer would not be what it is with out them by your side.

All in all, soccer will always be our first love. No matter how hard things get, the support of our teammates and our love for the game we will always make soccer a huge part of our life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
