Photo 1: Edwin Lagunas of Waukegan studies for one of his business classes. Lagunas plans on majoring in business and marketing. He enjoys his classes but sometimes finds it hard balancing practice and academics. He tries to accomplish this by managing his time and making charts for different projects and assignments.
Photo 2: Kyle Boekeloo of Woodridge plans on becoming a math teacher. Right now he is taking plenty of math, education, and general education classes. He gets a lot of math home work every night. In this photo, Boekeloo takes a break to get his mind off of the stresses of school work.
Photo 3: Before one of Boekeloo's education classes, he stops and talks with friend Alonzo Banks. They discuss homework, weekend plans, and of course sports. Banks and Boekeloo support each other due to the fact that they are both on sports teams.
Photo 4: Kyle Boekeloo smiles for the camera with his teammates. Being with friends is one of his favorite hobbies. Boekeloo also likes listening to music, playing video games and obviously playing soccer. He says he treasures being at practice because he gets to be with all of his best friends; his teammates!
Photo 5: Boekeloo stretches before practice. "I have to stretch before practice because they are usually long and strenuous. We practice probably 2-3 hours a day," Boekeloo said. The men's soccer team usually works on passing and scoring goals.
Photo 6: "I decided to attend Dominican because I really enjoyed the soccer program. When I first visited Dominican, I was captivated by the close bonds of the team. I wanted to make those same bonds and create life long friendships," Lagunas said. Since soccer is his passion, he really wanted to attend Dominican.
Photo 7: One of Lagunas’ favorite hobbies is playing video games. The brand that Lagunas owns is Play Station 3. Usually after a long day of practice, work, and class, he enjoys relaxing in his dorm and playing with friends. His favorite games usually consist of football and baseball. Once an athlete, always an athlete!
Photo 8: Food is a huge factor for an athlete. What you consume is important! Boekeloo eats Chex Mix and Goldfish packages since he is always on the go. He loves salty snacks but still manages to consume protein, carbohydrates and fruit at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Photo 9: Keeping up with school work and grades is a must to play college soccer! Both Lagunas and Boekeloo spend about fifteen hours a week practicing for soccer. That is a huge amount of time and a lot of dedication. Both of the boys study for tests and quizzes about two to three hours a night on top of homework.
Photo 10: After a long practice, Edwin Lagunas finishes homework in his dorm. It is important that all of the men get good grades in order to participate in soccer. Lagunas does probably 2-3 hours of homework a night in order to stay a member on the team. He usually will finish his homework in the library or in his dorm.
