By the way, welcome to ZipsNation @JZIP I'm always happy to see more Zips fans join in. As MP12 said, please don't jump ship yet. I'm looking for a return to glory this Fall.

I understand your frustration with the 2019 season, but lots of new players will be coming in the Fall. It’s difficult to judge next season based upon Spring Exhibitions. I trust the process and that 2020 will be better, having learned from 2019.

Agree but also have to mention that Adam Najem had the most overall production.

I agree with your assessment of Jordan's play; he looked good at RB. https://gozips.com/news/2020/2/3/akron-adds-four-newcomers-to-2020-mens-soccer-roster.aspx A native of Stow, Ohio, Seaman, a defender, gained valuable playing experience with the Internationals Academy in the United States Development Academy, where he was a four-year team captain. EMBICK ON SEAMAN – "He is a tough left back who is a very challenging player to get by and has great delivery in the final third. I love his mentality and compete level and we were excited to get him in early."

Grant Abbott in goal 1st half. Cam Victor in goal the 2nd half.

Will Jackson had 11 points, 4 goals and 3 assists, in 2019. https://gozips.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/will-jackson/6341

One of the most amazing things is that we read a lot now. I didn’t really start reading books until I met him. We now go through three books a month. It’s making me smarter, a better person. What books are on your shelf right now? DeAndre: It’s a mix. There’s a lot of self-help, mental health books to help us keep our minds right. A lot about goal setting. It goes under the radar, especially when you talk about athletes. So much of the game is mental but we only train 100% physical. Which doesn’t really make any sense. It’s very important to have refreshers on self-happiness, there’s so many things we go through as humans that it’s important to be able to clear up your mind. It’s a really good skill to have. I say skill because we’ve learned to beat ourselves up, talk ourselves down, when we don’t need to. If you can re-learn the skills of positive thought then it can do wonders in life. Crystal: Goal-setting is another big thing which DeAndre has taught me. I knew it was a thing before but he sat down with me and walked me through it. It’s another amazing way which I’ve changed; mapping everything out has helped me grow as a person and achieve things. ...
