My Daily Routine as a baller in school

Greetings, I am 15-year-old Garrett Zhou, a Durham Academy High School student. I enjoy studying, exercising, playing soccer, and maintaining discipline in general. My history with soccer is fairly straightforward: I began playing when I was 7 years old, and at the age of 12, I was chosen for the ECNL regional Carolinas team as the top player in the state. I was selected to travel with 20 players from my club, NCFC, to play against NY Red Bulls Academy, PDA Academy, and NYFC Academy that summer. I'm currently with the second-ranked NCFC 09 ECNL club.

As you can tell from the intro, I'm a baller. How do I maintain balling out as a soccer player while maintaining excellent grades and good extracurriculars? In this post, find out my daily routine to be ultra-productive.

Wake up: 5am; there are many reasons why I wake up early. Firstly, I have more time to do things in the morning like training or homework. Also, I feel more motivated when I wake up early. This makes my whole day more productive. Lastly, it is such a good test of your discipline to wake up early every day, and I want to be super disciplined. "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man young, wealthy, and wise."

Wake up: 5am;

Cold Shower: 5:05am;

Activation/mobility: 5:20am;

HW: 5:30am;

Training: 6:30am;

Breakfast: 7:15am;

Great vs GOAT

Greetings, I am 15-year-old Garrett Zhou, a student at Durham Academy High School. I enjoy studying, exercising, playing soccer, and maintaining discipline in general. My history with soccer is fairly straightforward: I began playing when I was 7 years old, and at the age of 12, I was chosen for the ECNL regional Carolinas team as the top player in the state. I was chosen to travel with 20 players from my club, NCFC, to play against NY Red Bulls Academy, PDA Academy, and NYFC Academy that same summer. I'm currently with the second-ranked NCFC 09 ECNL club. For soccer fans, the debate over who qualifies as a great striker versus a GOAT-level striker is always a hot topic. While both are undoubtedly skilled athletes, there are specific characteristics and accomplishments that distinguish the two levels of talent. Great strikers are those who consistently perform at a high level, scoring goals and contributing to their team's success. These players are often the top scorers in the...

Extracurriculars

 Hello everyone, this post has a slightly different theme than the others I have been doing. This time, I am going to talk about my extracurriculars and what I do to maximize them. Hope you enjoy! Soccer: I play both school and club soccer. As you know from my previous posts, I am on the second ECNL National Team at NCFC and I attend Durham Academy. For my club soccer team, I have been to ECNL Nationals twice; I have also won Player of the Year for the regional league. Lastly, I have been to New York with the Academy Team to play against NYRB Academy, PDA, and NYFC Academy. For school soccer, I was on JV as an 8th grader and made Varsity since freshman year. In sophomore year, I got second-team all TISAC. I have 8 goals, and 6 assists in my career, including a goal in the State Playoffs. Debate: I also do debate at Durham Academy. The event I do is Public Forum. I have been on the debate team since freshman year. For my achievements, I have the Honor Badge for my merit points, whic...

Messi vs Ronaldo

Greetings, I am 15-year-old Garrett Zhou, a Durham Academy High School student. I enjoy studying, exercising, playing soccer, and maintaining discipline in general. My history with soccer is fairly straightforward: I began playing when I was 7 years old, and at the age of 12, I was chosen for the ECNL regional Carolinas team as the top player in the state. I was selected to travel with 20 players from my club, NCFC, to play against NY Red Bulls Academy, PDA Academy, and NYFC Academy that summer. I'm currently with the second-ranked NCFC 09 ECNL club. The eternal debate. The cause of the greatest division in football. Who is better, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Avieros or Lionel Andreas Messi? The answer to this question is often the GOAT of football. Many take pleasure in the criticism of both, while others plead for the good of both.  For me, it has always been clear. Lionel Messi is a great footballer, but Ronaldo is the best of all time for me. Cristiano is my favorite player an...
