People do not believe my skills are an American’s skills.
BUT ALL OF THAT MAY BE STARTING TO CHANGE
Enter Christian Pulisic. Not the first to play in Europe, certainly not the last, but the absolute turning point for American soccer.

ROAD TRIP!!! Your friend or family member usually yells this as a spontaneous adventure ideas comes to mind. You probably haven’t heard that yell in a while in the midst of this pandemic…
It can be difficult to find motivation to keep things fun during these times, but my girlfriend and I made our road trip dream happen - and here’s how…
In mid July, I heard a podcast where the host mentioned it being possibly the most opportune time to visit many of the US national parks as the usual tourism and international travel numbers are down drastically.
My mind started working out the math.
Not only did we decide to go on a road trip, but we decided to move across the country from Seattle to New Jersey and planned a long route to get there. We sold our car in Seattle and rented a premium SUV from Hertz, who

I always get asked “what’s your favorite skill move?”
It’s probably a toss up between an elastico and scissors, but using U-Haul’s U-Box service resulted in the best move ever! House move that is, lol
This pandemic has really forced AJ and I to assess our future and ultimately decide to move closer to family and New York City for work opportunities.
We knew it wouldn’t be easy and one of the main challenges would be getting all of our belongings across the country safely, efficiently, and affordably.
That’s when we thought of U-Haul. We’ve used U-Haul before for local self-moves and found out they have a moving service called, ‘U-Box’
Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like - you fill the U-Box container(s) with all your belongings and U-Haul ships it to your destination for you or stores it if you need storage or extra time - easy as that!
For transparency, we were lucky enough to get a social media campaign with U-Haul to cover the cost of our move, but we chose U-Haul because it’s the brand we trust most!
Check out this video of how it went down -

BY AGE 12…
I needed a ball at my feet almost at all times. By age 22, I wouldn’t go anywhere without one. I would say, in retrospect, that there were about 5 defining moments that have led to the life I live now which is full of happiness, ambition, and adventure!
MOMENT 1 - 2005 - Inception:
At age 14 while in junior high, I took a basic elective course called “careers”
A pretty run of the mill “what do you want to be when you grow up” class. We did worksheets with ladder images on them that represented goal setting and how to get to your dream job.
We’d go around the room, “what do you want to be… what do you want to be…?”
I, of course, wanted to be a professional soccer player. I was a little naive then, pretty big fish in a pretty small pond, although I was talented enough at a young enough age that I could’ve

I had seen these all over my socials with sponsored ads and athletes promoting them. With my educational background in applied physics, I’m always looking for new performance tech that can help enhance the athlete experience and results!
I contacted Vktry to test these out and they delivered… literally lol
(Pros and Cons + Category Scores at Bottom)
Originally, they had wanted me to do a small promotion in exchange for receiving the free pair (~$200) but I always test products and services before I enter a partnership if possible. They agreed to let me try them for a month and circle back. After a month of training, I truly believed in the product enough to move forward. ( *Vktry is not paying me for this article whatsoever. They didn’t ask for this, nor did I ask their permission to write this.)
What are Vktry Carbon Fiber Insoles & why are they different than other insoles?

JUGGLING IS THE TECHNIQUE OF KEEPING THE BALL UP IN THE AIR
As a youth player I got hooked on juggling the way kids are now hooked on fortnite, and at age 11 began obsessed over controlling the ball.
Therein lies the difference. Obsession.
Hundreds ask me how to do skills or learn tricks, but I wonder how many have the real determination to sit with something failing repeatedly for a month straight before finally succeeding? Probably not many.
Once I started mastering keeping the ball up, I began learning basic tricks, namely; the around the world.

I started my Instagram page with zero followers in 2014… Now I have over a million and am able to make a six figure salary under good economic conditions. There are a ton of ways to make money online, but in this article I’ll break down how the most current popular methods work for social media and what works for me.
