“I would suggest taking your first year pretty slow. Don’t overload yourself with the pressure of playing a key role in 5 different clubs. Experiment with different clubs, attend when you want to, and feel free to change your mind. Each person I’ve met and experience I’ve had have been for a reason, and I wouldn’t change a thing.”
