1. Honey Bunches of Oats – I must start my day off with honey bunches of oats (1% milk preference). Nothing beats the delectable bits of honey oat clusters in every bite.

Soccer, sports in general, take us on different paths. Sure we all begin the same way – some type of youth league, on the streets or grassy fields with our closest friends and family. Though, as we grow older, this so called path begins to split and form forks in different directions. Those of us who are fortunate enough to have the skills and athleticism move on to make a career out of soccer, while those of us who don’t have the genetics, didn’t have the opportunity to join camps, or just didn’t practice enough are the in stands watching those who did make it.
