Men’S Soccer Graduate Assistant
Cleveland, Mississippi
As a Graduate Assistant for the Men's soccer program, I assist in the set up and running of practices. There may be instances where the head coach is unable to be at a session or running late, so myself and the other GA would begin or run the session. In my first season with the program, I would prepare and warm up the goalkeepers on game day, where in my second season I would set up and oversee the warm up for the starting outfield players. In the office, we all play a role in the recruitment process. I have the freedom to reach out to players who I feel would make an impact and benefit the team in the coming seasons. In terms of video analysis, I would go over film from he most recent game to make clips to present to the team at the beginning of the week. This isn't limited to DSU program, however. If an upcoming opponent has a previously recorded match on their website, then I am able to watch through their film and find strengths/weaknesses. From this, I am able to provide an in-depth scout report to our players.
