I am proud of my guy Ben “The Soccer Goose“ Goshorn. If you didn’t see this morning The Soccer Goose tweeted out a video of him getting ready to try out for the Charlotte Independence of the USL Championship. In his initial morning video I think there was some jitters. I mean the guy was about to try out for a professional soccer club! Who wouldn’t be a little nervous?! But I had full confidence in the long locks of Ben that he would THRIVE today!
We heard back from Goose at the try out’s lunch break where the the beautiful bearded man got himself a peanut butter cup smoothie and a southern accent. All signs seemed up for the Goose! You could tell he was still a little nervous but there was a TON more confidence in his voice. Energized by a Tropical Smoothie it was time for the Goose to head out to the 11v11. This is where the boys become men…
With some blisters and a tight hammy, The Goose landed for the day. The 11v11 was done, no own goals to his name, met some cool ass soccer people, and to his words... he held his own. I am excited to hear more from Ben and his experience about the entire try out. You have to make sure you keep an eye on Queen City Nerve who will be the first to get Ben’s story from the tryout.
I want to get Ben back on the USL Aces Podcast (check out USL Aces Podcast Ep. 6) to talk about his experience with the Independence. We need to re-elongate the tentacles of USL. If there was any definition to elongating the tentacles of USL, Ben did that today. The Goose flew HIGH today in Charlotte!
