Sometimes we have to sacrifice what we love for something more important. A couple of years ago, I had to cut the time spent training for soccer to have more time for my studies and school work. The decision was made knowing that I was considering applying for NCAA recruited to play soccer in college. NCAA candidates are to have rigorous training schedules considered for recruitment. I had to make this decision because I wasn't meeting my expectations for my school work, and I was falling behind in my studies. To some people, this is not a life-changing decision, but for me, soccer was something I envisioned playing in college. Missing out on that opportunity to focus on something more important with great rewards later was a big decision
