6 SportsUnion | AUGUST 17, 2018 Welcome To Editor Letter From The We would like to first thank everyone who came back to read our first issue of Sports Union in almost a year. We know that it will take time to build up the readership of the maga- zine once again after being mostly online. But, you the reads, have shown that we have made the right decision coming back with a twice a month magazine. As the dog days of sum- mer continue are thoughts flip to the start of the fall sports season. How quick- ly the summer has gone by now that everyone is out there grinding away get- ting ready for soccer, foot- ball, volleyball, tennis, field hockey and cross country. It seems like yesterday that the spring season had just ended, and here we are already talking about the fall season. It has been an enjoyable summer, and there are still a few weeks to go. Even though practice has started it doesn’t mean the hot weather will go away anytime soon. Make sure you are extremely hy- drated with temps easily getting into the high 80’s during practice and even into the first couple of game of the season. It’s easy to think they drinking water the day of the game. In this issue we have a nice mixture of all different kind of sports from soc- cer to volleyball. We will tell the story of a young man who got to love out his dream playing volleyball with USA blazed across his chest. We also will head to Italy, sort of, and tell the story of a young man who came to the states to get a chance to play soccer and receive a great education. All he did last year was set the MAAC on fire in his first year, and now will look to duplicate those efforts. As always follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Ins- tagram for photos and sto- ries.
