A Day in the life of Tom Villani

One could only dream of being as good as Tom Villani. The all league soccer player is one of the best, and no doubt one of the coolest that ever lived! So one could only imagine what he does on a regular basis.
“Well, first I wake up, then go to school, play soccer, and go to bed,” said Villani on his amazing schedule.
But life as a soccer player isn’t always this much fun. “Soccer starts in summer,” said Villani. “We first start with our booster camp, much like footballs two-a-days. From there out my entire life is Soccer. If I don’t have a game, then I’m out at a pasta party with my team. On the weekends I hang out with my team, I barely even talked to my girlfriend during the season.”
What a commitment by Tom Villani, soccer team one, girlfriend zero! The commitment shows too. Villani has recently won an award, but is unaware of what yet. “I won All-League honors last year, so I’m hoping for All-County or All-Conference.”
Even though Villani is a great player he won’t admit that he’s the best player on the field. Villani talks about his team and his love with being with his guys. Villani said that one the biggest accomplishments of his season was defeating Centereach in the last game of the season. “When we first saw Centereach on our schedule we were pumped to play them because it was there homecoming. But around the 87th minute one of Centereach’s players scored a cheap goal. All we wanted then was revenge on Centereach.” Revenge is what they got. It was the last game of the season, they only needed one more win to get to play-offs, and their opponent was Centereach. The setting was perfect for getting revenge and Alex Nelson made it possible with the game winning goal. “The team went crazy! Everyone was jumping on each other, it was a great feeling.”
Unfortunately, the Smithtown East boys’ Varsity soccer team was eliminated in the second round of the play-offs by Bay Shore. But Tom Villani won’t end his astounding career on a negative note. Villani wants to play for the Catholic University of America, but oddly enough, it’s the only college on Villani’s top 5, that has not scouted him yet. Don’t worry though; Villani will be playing soccer somewhere in college to astound fans and critics alike. His commitment and talent will be greatly viewed by a national audience. Now what drives an athlete like Tom Villani? “Our greatest glory is in not ever falling, but in rising every time we fall.” That is a quote of a champion, which is a quote of Tom Villani.
