The dimension that college sports in the United States has taken over the years is unimaginable when you haven't seen it yourself. The universities offer everything an ambitious athlete needs to continue their academic and athletic career. Starting from the smallest things, such as: integration of new students "Freshmen" into the university life, up to the organization of competitions with up to 100,000 spectators. The idea of the boys from Students Go West, the project of studying in the USA in connection with sport, is great.

The time at East Tennessee State University was an incredibly beautiful one for me personally. In addition to the great experiences in sports, I was also able to experience fantastic things away from the soccer field. For me, college was not only a transition into the German Bundesliga and the Austrian National Team, but also an opportunity to develop myself personally. I would take this opportunity again immediately and I'm just glad that I dared to take the step to the USA at the time. Personally, I will never forget my time in the United States.

“I ran several soccer camps in the United States and saw one or two universities through it. I am generally a fan of the American university system, which integrates sport intensively into the everyday life of students. Not only the athletes benefit from the commitment of the universities, also the regular students are constantly surrounded by sports, which subsequently contributes to a healthy climate on the campus of the universities. Studying in the USA not only allows you to benefit from this wonderful fusion of sport and education, but also to have a great experience abroad, improve your English, get to know a different culture and much more ... "

Through my stays at NSCAA trainer seminars in the USA, I got to know the college sports system. I was fascinated by the facilities that universities offer athletes. The universities enable everything from underwater treadmills to away games in the largest cities in the USA. Of course, this has a positive effect on the level that is shown by women's football teams at universities. In the national team, for example, we also have a few girls who ventured into the United States and benefited enormously from it. In summary, I can simply say with a clear conscience that the idea of studying combined with competitive sports is sensational and definitely worth considering after graduation.
