Day 6

We woke up and went through the same morning routine as usual. Breakfast at 8, downtime, leave for training at 10:30. The morning session we focused on defending again, but this time instead of individual defending, we worked on defending with two. Then, like always, we finished the session with some 11v11. Lunch was next and then more downtime. I didn't catch up on sleep or homework this time, but I did catch up on some TV time. At 3:30 we left for the fields and when we got dressed and headed out to the fields we were all happy to find out we were playing soccer tennis. We combined with the u20s again, but this time the coaches didn't pick the teams. My three man team started out in the winners square, but we sadly made our way down and finished in the middle of the pack. It was a lot of fun even though I'm still convinced some of the teams we played against cheated.. After soccer tennis, we had to take yet another 8 minute ice bath, making it our third ice bath for the week. My feet were throbbing after 10 seconds of being in the bath. So, needless to say the rest of the ice bath was miserable for me. Once we were done with that, we went back to the hotel, ate dinner, then went up to our rooms. We had to get some rest for our big game against UC Irvine.
