The biggest regret I have is complicated, because it’s not really a regret anymore, because I am happy with the path I am on now. However, for a time, my biggest regret was not following my path in soccer. Soccer was my main focus and passion, playing it since I was four years old. My early high school years I became one of the best players in the state, if not the best for my position, being a target and in contact with many Division one schools. My goal was to play for Syracuse for a few years, before using that to go pro. The end of my sophomore year, my coach was going to take me with a team of twenty year olds to play semi pro in Italy during the summer, however COVID hit. Because of the lockdown, everything stopped, and it was unknown when everything would start up and be normal again. Because this time was the most important for soccer development, and the fact that instead of getting better I lost some skill, I started to get out of soccer, to the point where I hated it. From the brink of playing Division one to not even playing in college, the reason I hated it for a time was because of regret, as there was always a part of me that still wanted to play, and I never got to see where that path would have taken me and where I would have ended up.
