STATESBORO --- Though many students take a well-earned break during the summer, many of the Georgia Southern's men's soccer team chose to take their talents all across the country to stay sharp following a record-breaking fall season. Developmental leagues, such as USL2, provide a competitive outlet for returning Eagles to maintain their fitness levels, refine their technical abilities, and gain valuable match experience ahead of the upcoming campaign.
To gain a closer understanding of what this opportunity means, I spoke with four Eagles currently competing in the USL2 this summer. Each of them shared their goals for the season, what they hope to gain from the experience, and how it's already influencing their development, both on and off the field.
