Landon was invited to a recruiting weekend for Barton College in central Kansas in early December. He has dreamed about playing college soccer forever. We went out on a Friday and he did a goalkeeping tryout that evening for the coach. After 45 minutes of play he was invited to consider a position on the team.
By the end of Saturdays full field scrimmage with the team the coach made an offer to Landon to play. He was very excited and thought that he would take the offer.
Since that time Landon has had time to reflect on what he really wants and needs to do. He has made the decision to attend BYU this summer instead and then turn in papers to go on a church mission this fall when he turns 19. The soccer dream was awesome, but he felt that the mission was more important for now.
