Great routine man, but as someone who went through this as a student athlete in college, only thing I will say is I hope you're not going to bed that late/getting only 5 hrs of sleep a night every night!! Sleep recovery is a huge part of it & can't be overstated! Wish you the best in your career.

Rice and chicken at 940am is crazy

[@connorgilmore402]

😭😭

[@jay2x815]

It’s outrageous 😭😭

[@jinbiased5283]

it’s oblivious 😹

[@justtestingonce]

@@jinbiased5283 you stupid for thinking that!

[@SJ79]

Hahahaha yeah Dre, I guess I kinda get used to eating it so early after doing It for so long.

[@B3RB4]

England needs a system like this - whether he makes it pro or not he looks well prepared for life outside of football. Not the case for many academy players in England.

[@fareedtutorials5649]

thats why there is no good players in america and the best league is premier league in england lmao

[@keykrr]

@@fareedtutorials5649 england also doesn't have good players, the reason the premier league is the best in the world is the players from all over the world who go there because of the investment and competitiveness. English players are bad.

[@christianvelazquezKingz]

Being a soccer player in college is a waste of time since the level is very low and it won’t help you certain develop skills

[@remp52]

@@keykrr english players are bad? over 50% of the premier league consists of english players, do your research before talking kid

[@keykrr]

@@remp52 50% ok, but they are not why the league is strong. All competitive teams have foreign players and coaches, the England national team is a joke, and games without the big teams are technically weak. The best team that is Man City has a squad of 25 players, 20 of them are foreigners.

[@therowgawd]

Top notch facilities. Take advantage of everything. Get to know every coach, trainer and athlete you possibly can. All potential hook ups in the future. Sleeping from 145-7 as a D1 athlete is wild. Miss those college. INVINCIBLE

[@aurielove9177]

Thanks Sam this was great to see! I appreciate being able to see all the spaces you train, study and work. Definitely motivated me to try and get back into a routine.

[@SJ79]

Great to hear!!

[@AK-kc3tt]

i did 9 yrs at UCLA-- GO BRUINS. love seeing not just dedication to the athletics and recovery but the school work... great to see true STUDENT-athletes. Best of luck in your bright future.

Hey bro keep it up your living my dream right now and very motivating I want to see you post more of these as especially for goalkeepers it’s very difficult to see other people like me but who actually succeeded.

[@Futbolplayerfs]

hey man, I'm on the way to be on TV and play professional soccer. Can I get some advice on what did you do to get that D1? What's my idea for myself is playing high school, then play for college, and get a d1. I'm 13 year's old, 2010 right now playing in premier against 14-15 year olds. Got second place to almost being state champs NorCal. My position is defense or striker.

[@PisaGamer]

What team do you play for

[@willpownall9521]

how are you a defender and a striker 😭😭

[@willpownall9521]

make up your mind and stick with it

Does UCLA not provide meals or access to dining halls for athletes?

[@jinbiased5283]

yes some choose to make their own

They do for certain sports, but the men's soccer team here does not get provided free meals or free access to dining halls. Thanks for the comment!

Try to go on the walk on tryouts, it’s never too late if you have ncaa eligibility
