Today I will present one of my future teammate’s,  experience as a college athlete in America, Jacob Harvey.  Mr. Harvey is a Freshman at Briar Cliff University, where he plays soccer and is majoring in mass communications.  

Briar Cliff University is part of the NAIA and competes in the GPAC one of the strongest conferences in NAIA.

How long have you been playing soccer? & what is one of you favorite soccer memories?

“I Started playing soccer 15 years ago & one of my favorite memories from when I was younger was, watching a game between England vs. Hungary with my dad at Old-Trafford. England won 3-1.”

What is your favorite things about soccer? & favorite thing about college in America?

One of me favorite thing about soccer is that nothing else matters when i’m on the pitch. My favorite part about college in America is having the freedom to do as I pleases without telling my parents or anyone in particular.

What is one thing that you don’t like and one thing that you wish it was different?

I miss my friends and family who are far away, pling soccer and just spending times with them. One thing that I wish it was different about college is that most of the time I’m “broke” and can’t drive when I want to.

Is it hard being a Student Athlete in college?

Yes, I believe that is really hard being a college athlete especially if you don’t have the organization skills and time management skills. As a student at Briar Cliff I have to be able to manage your time wisely as you have to go to class, practice, work, and study hours that are mandatory.

What is something you would tell an incoming Student Athlete?

Depending on your sport and the season that they play in, but be ready for pre-season, be sure to do lots of teaching on your own, study for your test, don’t wait for to do your homework last minute, and work during breaks because you will be broke at some point.
