Things I Shoud never tell my coach

When the team was supposed to be resting for the next game in the Regional Championships.  We rented e scooters to make our trip worth it  
The feeling of the torn off handle bar slamming against my palm as I jump the curb with a 30lbs hunk of metal. 
Two wheeled vehicles becoming the staple of our extracurricular endeavors.

Some afternoons we even got our assistant coach to go on rides with us incase we ever needed an alibi down the road 
Boba and Smoothie shops were his go to. 
Until our starting midfielder tried to do a wheelie with our acai bowls losing two in the process

When we were supposed to be resting for the next game in the National Championship
One night we while trying to network ourselves to colleges we ended up at a Boise State dorm
Trying to explain to local students that we couldn't join them in going to the frat next door was very challenging at the time 

In the early morning we went on a joyride to eventually be chased by local security guards after passing them at an unreasonable speed 
Bangin up our starting defenders knee in the process 

The night after winning said tournament 
We went to the market to get snacks 
Only to decide to host a poker tournament in of our hotel rooms with the team nextdoor 
Lets just say the night ended with more I owe you’s than big winners
